Ancient Growth logging continues on southern Vancouver Island near Fairy Creek. This is a picture of people climbing an estimated* 600yr old cedar marked for removal this week. They had to sneak around police and logging company barriers to set up the tree sit. Last heard they are still there. Over two dozen arrested. #fairycreek #walbran #camarnah #rcmp #bcpoli #bcndp #oldgrowth #endoldgrowthlogging *estimated based on tree ring count of a “sister tree” cut recently nearby

“A Wet’suwet’en leader convicted after blocking work on the #CGL pipeline addressed a B.C. Supreme Court… telling the judge her land "has never been ceded or surrendered." "We are more than just our songs and dances. Our ancestors said, we are the land, and the land is us. Our laws flow from the land, we are nothing without it,” said Sleydo' at the end of the hearing.” #Wetsuweten :wetsuweten: #gitdumden :gitdumden: #Indigenous #BC #BCLNG #EndFossilFuels #Consent https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/wet-suwet-wen-blockade-sentencing-b-c-court-9.6939560

Bravo to this parent for saying it exactly right! ““There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.”” Anti-Trans rhetoric and politics is all about male domination. Period. End of story.

small town "inconveniences". An hour long parade of motorcycles for the annual Toy Run. The route they take means there is no way to cross from one side of town to the other until it's over. And particularly for me, I am efffectively "boxed in" wothin a 5x7 block area. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ it's a nice day and they're nice people. 😊 🧸 🏍️ Community line the streets to watch and wave and cheer them on. #portalberni #toyrun #motorcycles #community

I'm not a huge "sticker on the laptop" kinda guy... but I think a SocialBC Woolly :woollyBC: sticker would look pretty awesome beside this People Not Platforms sticker I scored from @npub1zzy7...9edy today! It might even go overtop the 🍏 Which begs the question.... is there a FediSwag store? And if not, when will there be!? 😀 💰 #swag #fedicon #stickers

i really wish I could have stayed for more than a beer and to be part of the audience tomorrrow for all the #fedicon speakers but, the bus to the ferry to my car to home to family beckons. 😂 🚎 What an incredible group @npub16d5j...u6mu gathered! I feel very humbled to have been included and our little story about #socialBC seemed well received. It was so nice to meet people in PERSON! The fediverse is making communities for people and there are good people making it happen! #fedicon2025 #bus #yvr

yikes! 3 miners trapped underground at Red Chris mine near Dease Lake. Not a lot of information right now but apparently they are in a refuge area and safe. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/miners-red-chris-mine-bc-dease-lake-1.7592096 It is a gold and copper mine in NW BC. It is closer (as the crow flies) to Juneau Alaska than Whitehorse, or Prince George.

I generally think there are way too many municipalities and arbitrary divisions in BC. We could be a lot more efficiently governed, and fairly taxed, if these were ironed out. The more than a dozen entities in the Capital Regional District are the prime example. I hope amalgamation of Saanich and Victoria happens. It should be a first step to merging a bunch more into one Victoria, and maybe other mergers around the province. #BCMuni #BCPoli #UBCM https://www.albernivalleynews.com/home2/victoria-and-saanich-should-amalgamate-public-assembly-final-report-8138996
