Before posting a reply, I’m practicing the pause & triple filter:
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?

… I may be replying a lot less.

Said goodbye to this alder yesterday with its branches drooping precariously over the hydro & cable lines.
Thanked it for its summer shade and leaf mulch for the garden beds. 🌳
Sadly, today it was felled by experienced tree guys. 🪵
The logs will now season to provide a neighbour winter warmth. 🔥

“More than just a cleanup, this effort became a powerful, silent lesson in ethical responsibility, revealing how contamination impacts the entire ecosystem—from the soil to the delicate, salmon-bearing streams.”

Kudos to the organizers & volunteers!

“Gratitude is great and an appreciative approach has been shown to be effective in all sorts of way, so what sort of ugly, no-good, two-bit, ornery curmudgeon would be against it?”

“… suit alleging that the parent companies behind Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube ‘relentlessly pursued a strategy of growth at all costs, recklessly ignoring the impact of their products on children’s mental and physical health’….”
⬇️
Parents, if you have time to read anything today (and the capacity to feel rage), then these new allegations against two of the largest social media companies, and their apparent disregard of you and your kids’ relationships and mental health, should be it.

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States.

Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.
