Now…NOW they’re starting to let indigenous tribes do what they used to do to save us all but apparently, they have to apply to do their burns and approvals are often delayed. An article I found out of British Colombia although it’s Ontario on fire right now: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Firekeeper Joe Gilchrist demostrates how a cultural burn is started in a pile of sage brush near Savona, B.C.

This June, British Columbia earmarked $359
million for future wildfire protection, with $1.2 million invested in burn projects this year.

The province says it supports cultural burning which is prescribed by the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act Action Plan (UNDRIP).
But fire ecologists say that support is falling short and plans to burn often fizzle out because of approval delays.
In B.C., hundreds of thousands of hectares used to be deliberately burned each year, but now fewer than 10,000 hectares of land is set on fire for community protection.

A lady on the Clock app in Canada said that the wildfires keep happening because Canada outlawed indigenous people from doing prescribed burns. Did a little digging and yep - settler colonialism is to blame. indiginews.com/features/wil...

A century of fire suppression

Before settler colonialism outlawed the use of fire on the land through legislation such as the provincial Bush Fire Act of 1874, Interior Salish Nations had been prescribing fire to the land for thousands of years.

Burn cycles were designed to nurture/support certain landscapes and ecosystems, often to sustain diversity for hunting areas and to promote the growth of berries and medicinal plants - which all supported various ceremonial purposes.

This work of regular burning ultimately helped to maintain the ecological health of the land by limiting overgrowth and mitigating fuels.

However, settlers and their rapid fire suppression practices effectively removed fire from the ecosystem in the last century.
This has resulted in the spread of trees across landscapes that were not historically forested, all of which has led to the accumulation of wildfire fuels and debris across landscapes.

I’ve never witnessed the AQI be this high with my own eyes

The people doing fireworks near me have so many going at once that it sounds like a marching band that’s also shooting guns (sound up to hear the low steady rumble between the big pops). And they started at 9pm when it was still light outside.

New month. New blessings. New page on my Lego wall calendar.

A Lego wall calendar flipped to the month of July. July’s featured Lego flower is the lotus and the image shows a fully open pink Lego lotus, a partially open white Lego lotus, a closed pink Lego lotus, and 2 Lego pieces that make up the pink lotus.

This is the worst news about the SpaceX IPO (article: finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...) If you use ETFs for your retirement/investment accounts, watch out.

The Forced Buyers: S&P 500 and
Nasdaq-100 ETFs
SpaceX is expected to enter the S&P 500 at roughly a 0.5% weight. That sounds small, but the S&P 500 is the benchmark for trillions in indexed assets. Every ETF tracking the index will be required to purchase SpaceX shares upon inclusion. The largest affected funds:
• VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, $1,003.51B
AUM): Would need to buy roughly $5B in
SpaceX
• IVV (iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, $859.73B
AUM): Similar forced purchase
• SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, $787B
AUM): The most liquid S&P 500 ETF
• SPYM (SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF,
$149.68B AUM)

The Nasdaq-100 follows on a slightly different timeline. A revised Nasdaq methodology effective May 1, 2026 allows any newly listed company ranked among the top 40 by market capitalization to enter the Nasdaq-100 after just 15 trading days - with the prior free-float requirement eliminated.
That puts SpaceX into the index around July 6, triggering additional forced buying from:
And there's performance under pressure.

• QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust, $495.70B AUM):
The world's most-traded tech ETF
• QQQM (Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF, $98.48B AUM): Lower-cost alternative long-term investors

Happy Birthday! I will never forget and will forever be grateful for the dog harness you sent me for Jax after he had a cancer surgery. It helped me tremendously in his last year of life when he became weaker and even on the day I had to say goodbye. Thank you for you kindness + knowledge 🙏🏿

Corporate statements like this are what would get me banned from American Landlines. Because if I had to get up early and wait hours in a TSA line to get on a bus????

"We're saving them time and money, and we're giving them a really awesome product experience on the way," Landline Company CEO David Sunde told the Washington Post.
American Airlines said the service operates "just like a flight would," short of actually being a flight or arriving at destinations in a timeframe consistent with air travel.
