It may feel exhausting to be fighting on so many fronts, to be paying attention to so many grotesque events on our planet; to remain outraged - but what other choice do we have. #ClimateCrisis #PlanetaryCrisis

Key climate tipping point is BREACHED for the first time

Generations of students have mixed memories of working there.
It provided pocket money, paid tuition, forged friendships & it also left scars - memories of the horrific treatment the animals were subjected to, all reported by staff for decades. #HappinessIsMarineland - unless you have a conscience.

Ontario theme park says serious environmental issues and a "total lack of proven financial viability" mean the proposed N.S. sanctuary is not an option.

Purposeful and meticulous Stockholm syndrome/trauma bonding on a global scale.

Society is not merely disconnected from each other and self - it is so attached to that which fractures and isolates it - that it asks for more abuse, more poison, fervently believing it will be the cure.

Milk, butter, parmesan cheese, whole grain mustard, fresh ground pepper, and of course asparagus! Mix in some #GlutenFree farfalle and it was a tasty, nutritious #MeatlessMonday.

Canadian violence seems to cut deeper. Thinking we are better than, does not make it so. Attacking a place of *any* faith, does not make it so.

This makes it so:
Combat ignorance /w Education; hatred /w Love; lies /w Truth; fascism /w Democracy

Hectic week, so I took a slow Sunday & sat /w a cuppa, carefully chopping fresh local veg for #HodgePodge and scratch biscuits. #SundaySupper
Now with another cuppa making a shopping list of recently banned books to purchase & hide in the attic. #ViveLaRésistance💋
#ReadingComprehensionIsASuperPower

A pistachio green table cloth & placemat /w lemon pattern. A bread plate & soup bowl in the Friendly Village pattern. There are homemade gluten free cheddar scones on the plate & the bowl has Hodge Podge. Hodge Podge is a traditional Nova Scotia late summer soup made /w milk, butter, green string & yellow wax beans. From there everyone has their own variations. Today I used pureed cauliflower to thicken it a bit & turnip, carrot, new potato, & shallots all fresh & as local as it gets. Seasoned with bay leaf, sea salt, nutmeg, crushed peppercorns & fennel seeds in the mortar/pestle. Everything was done low & slow on the stove top and celery leaves added in lastly.

As a bit of a logophile Weltschmerz is a new-to-me word.

Although it is a couple of centuries old, it seems to be a rather apt descriptor for our modern day experiences.

Is the State of the World Causing You Pain?

When they comprehend your fervently held belief that there are never too many plants.

Such a pretty bucket full of plants for my birthday. Much thanks to my cousins. 🌸🙏🌿

(nota bene: also books, candles, essential oils, gardening supplies, mason jars, vinyl records, yarn & assorted beverages)

Deep to bright green leaves with creamy highlights & a few vibrant pink flower buds sit in a soft pink coloured metal bucket on a dark wood table in a sunny window.

The greenery has various textures: a smooth & slightly ribbed Dieffenbachia; thick, waxy scalloped edged leaves of the pink kalanchoe blossfeldiana; and the paper thin fronds of the delta maidenhair fern (adiantum raddianum).

Same same! Still loathe her, but our historical ties to the constitutional monarchy may prove useful, and like him or not - he is our monarch.

Cianalas @cianalas.bsky.social · May 26

As a person of Scots, Irish, Palatinate & French descent my thoughts on the monarchy are convoluted. I am however pro #ConstitutionalMonarchy. Although mayhap not this monarchy - he should have abdicated. I cannot think of one kind word for that thing he married, completely
unworthy. #NotMyQueen

The antisocial behavior of politicians who single out everyday people to abuse online feels like a descendant of influencer culture to me. For over a decade, many viewers of this kind of content have engaged with the people in it like they’re cartoon characters instead of actual human beings

#PierrePoilievre spent MORE THAN TWICE what the PM did in 2024?!
Why? What on? Where are the itemised accounts for transparency (that he loves)? How will he be held accountable to reduce waste? When will his supporters demand better from him, or fire him?

MP expenses for 2024 are out and @PierrePoilievre spent nearly a million more than Trudeau and Singh COMBINED.
