#DearWhitePeoplePlease develop #courage to have uncomfortable discussions with your fellow white peoples in your own family, your personal social circles, your workplaces & your local #community at large. #Discussions about covert #racism, about if they can recognize #SystematicRacism, about what they know/think about settler #colonialism, what they think about #EnvironmentalRacism & what, if anything, they're doing to help towards #ProgressiveChanges & #justice for #BIPOC communities.THANKS

Why I'm asking #WhitePeople to understand how #BIPOC have to deal with relentless requests for more #EmotionalLabor on almost a daily basis in almost every area of our lives.We're really exhausted from this. We need more white folks who will take ongoing heavy burdens off our backs. Start having those difficult #conversations with your fellow white folks & understand genuine #AntiRacism work requires #courage to talk to & #educate the white folks in your circles. https://www.r2hub.org/library/emotional-labor-and-antiracism-work

This really old #apple #tree refuses to die. It got damaged by tent caterpillars & then had some disease issues so we sawed off all affected branches. It's bouncing back to life. Before it was damaged, this small tree used to produce large red, juicy apples(unsure of variety). It's at least 60 years old.#Nature #Regrowth #HardyTree

This is now my fave tree in our yards. I have lots of love & respect for this old, survivor apple tree.

Observed some #FarmerAnts herding #aphids on morning walk. These farmer #ants have a special #symbiotic relationship with aphids.#Learn more:https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know/farmer-ants-and-their-aphid-herdsMy video of the farmer ants, hard at work:https://youtube.com/shorts/NqI6hVYnoPQ?si=96nXBtYyO4LjeYVc#nature #SaanichParks #VictoriaBC #VanIsle #GorgePark #YYJ #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #Wsanec #PNW #insects #Formicidae #Hymenoptera #entomology #WorkerAnts #NatureVideos

@futurebird Do you know what species of ant these are? I don't know ant species. These were at a park on Southern Vancouver Island, BC

@futurebird Thank you, very much. I'm going to look them up. I'm fascinated by the behaviours of ants.I'm heading back to one of my fave regional parks soon - for nature hiking & to check up on a few thatching ant colonies. I love those ants & have spent hours just watching them work. They're amazing! I'll update with photos & videos, after.

It's a good day to head out & pick-up a few bags of free llama poop! Excellent for our composting/gardening purposes 👩🌾

@futurebird It's my friend's tandem. She has 2 sea kayaks; other is a single. I don't own any & usually have to rent them. I love kayaking 😀

I'm quite disturbed by many white folks, using very graphic imagery & completely disconnected from what we war survivors faced & posting those stolen images with zero CW.PLEASE, DO BETTER! STOP TRAUMA PORN.

@BeAware I know but it is mostly white folks & you are not fucking helping much. What the fuck have YOU done, except be a racist - it's not just white ppl. Coward!

Next time - because I know there will be a next time - will video it so people can see that he tries to stay in fridge until door is about to close.

@futurebird That is so cool to see. I really like the encasing - makes it so easy to observe the ants' activities.A nearby nature house has similar see through encasing for its live honeybees display 😊
