I confess to stealing seed pods & cuttings from local parks so I can grow more local biodiversity.

I'm a botanical criminal, in colonial government eyes.

All seed eating/seeds shitting birds are also botanical criminals, in colonial government eyes.

3 of my yellow onion plants are in full flower.

Early this morning:
I got my cucumber plants tied up/secured.
Transplanted 3 okra starters.
Burlap bagged up our Asian greens seed pods & hung it up in our cooler garage space, to shell seeds out later - for sowing/saving/sharing 👩🌾💚

I plant garlic beside cucumbers for natural pest control & improved soil health.

Until you start taking enough personal actions to expose/evict/remove/ostracize your local Nazis - you don't have any space to try to tell me how to deal with local fascist fuckeronis.

Great parents teach their children to be kind to everyone, except fascists.

Good comrades are against doxxing - unless it's doxxing fascists with plans to create BS scenes, to push forward their white supremacy, bigoted control over all antifascists as part of their Nazi shitagenda.

In 1999, police came to my house to tell me to stop putting 'A Nazi lives here' signs on front lawn of a rental property near Mayfair Mall. The tenant was a local Nazi, who regularly threatened to harm non-white people & he sent one of my Indigenous friends into ER after my friend refused to move from patrol shift at an environmental blockade. When I found out where he lived, I started putting those signs up on his front lawn & started pressuring his landlord to evict the Nazi. I was given trespass notice. So I started plastering posters all around area he lived at & recruited volunteers to put up posters at other places around town too. The Nazi was evicted 2 months after I started relentless expose & evict the Nazi grassroots campaign.

I'm the last neighbour that any Nazi wants to live near by. Making Nazi's lives hell, when opportunities present themselves, brings me joy 🎉

3 Nazi evictions in under 1.5 years in our South Saanich area are due to me directly confronting the local Nazis & going over shithead fash racist cops. I hit the landlords hard, until he evicted his Nazi tenants. I had another local Nazi fired from his bank manager job.
I'm not scared to face fascists. They're the cowards, scared of people like me, who aren't silent or still, when facing white supremacy crap.

I am fully guilty of throwing out bizarre obscure fun facts, whenever any shithead fascist or cop or politician or neoliberal citizen makes the wrong decision to try & bully me.
I remember getting dropped off, with zero charges & given taxi money by shithead RCMP, in middle of downtown Duncan because I wore the cops out on many facts about moss & fungi - for over 2 hours 🤣

There's a field of difference between exposing/confronting/calling out fascists/their enablers & volunteering to give them public platforms to spread their bigotry/white supremacy shit.
STFU people who tell others to just ignore Nazis. What a privileged & naive position to take. We're in this current fascism crisis because people ignored fascists in their own communities for too long. We're in this fascism crisis because Nazis don't just disappear when you ignore them. Being silent in face of growing fascism is cowering to fascists. Fuck that shit.

Yesterday, I was feeling a bit bummed out about domestic & geopolitical crap. I was pruning my cucumber plants, while thinking & hoping that more folks will not only understand why ordinary citizens need to fight back against their governments but also decide to go beyond simply understanding to step into taking more resistance actions - directly or indirectly.
That's when nature provided me of a beautiful reminder that hope arrives, when we need it. A gorgeous dragonfly flew close to me. First, it landed on my hair side ponytail & stared at me for almost a full 30 seconds. Then, it flew over to a nearby trellis & perched there, staring at me, for over a minute. Then, I watched it fly off & eat a mosquito, in mid-air. I don't have photos because I was trying to stay very still, during that entire dragonfly visit. That serendipitous dragonfly encounter helped to remind me that nature tends to deliver some hope-filled beauty, when we need it most. Nature is endlessly, serendipitous 💚

I think one of the best lessons that's been taught to me by my elders & by respected elders outside of my family, is to always remain open to being teachable, no matter what age or life stage you're at - you can always learn more, when you remain open to expanding your minds/heart/soul.
I think that's why healthy humility is an essential life ingredient. Without healthy humility, we shut ourselves off from the beauty of lifelong learning.
