I need #covid resources for a friend who has #LymeDisease & isn't masking 100% - articles about how covid affects Lyme patients would be especially useful. Help, please 🙏 I tried searching for legit resources but search engines are wacky now. I was getting messed up results/RFK Jr anti-science stuff 👎 #medical #LymeAndCovid #CovidScience #Health #CovidAndLyme

Right before #rappelling down highest building in #Victoria to raise funds for #BCChildrensHospital. From a few years ago. I was event photographer & was asked to substitute for someone who chickened out. I had 15 minutes of training on the street & was going down the high rise, 20 minutes after starting quickie training 😆 #PeopleWithDisabilities #MonochromeMonday #portraits #ClimbingGear

Look - I've only been on Mastodon/Fediverse since 2022. I'm a non-techy person who has been perpetually online since early 90s. There's never been a fully safe space for an outspoken, disabled POC person like me - in any online community. Even going back to Usenet days - I was a minority. Every single SM I've been on has been majority white folks. Same with the Fedi. We need more diversity everywhere - online & offline. I'm not leaving this platform due to being a minority. I'm staying & will fight for my presence & for fellow marginalized POC presences. I have always had to fight, almost my entire life - for space & to be included as a visibly disabled POC woman who is loud as heck with issues close to my heart & soul. I can't remember when I didn't have to fight for that. My experiences here now are vastly different than in 2022. I still get some racist jerks who do their cowardly racist shit. I'm not letting those racist fuckers run me off here. FUCK THEM. I'm staying & they can go fuck off. #POCVoices #PeopleWithDisabilities #MarginalizedVoices #WomenOfTheResistance #POCWomen #FuckRacism #NotLeaving

I was really excited to discover new #CoralFungi growing in our front side yard, this morning! I don't know what kind they are though. The white ones are forming a fungi cult 😆 Orange ones are very tiny & just emerged. #MushroomsMonday #fungi #WhatAreThese #PleaseID #nature #mycelium #Wsanec #Saanich #biodiversity #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #NatureIsCool #ecological #environmental

Heading out to run some errands with Mom.
