i miss the group of 4 crows that would come visit me. but, there's still 2 that come and see me. one large one small. the small one is still nervous.

i love seeing critters remember gifts given to them and returning the favor! mutuality is really so beautiful i love being alive i love my relationships with all the different critters and plants in my life i want to take them all so much further

what i mean is - learning plant identification is obviously useful. but i want to develop a set of reproducible practices which can be passed down, separate from any knowledge of a plant, to safely learn what the plant would be useful for.

i wanna develop a set of practices i can apply to the plants i find to determine what properties are imbued in them

yesterday was crow/eagle/osprey day - i wonder what we'll see today

saw some ospreys yesterday flying around the neighborhood - they make funny sounds

look at how they spit in the face of values of freedom and cooperation in the name of democracy. and then to claim the locals' 'violent response' is a sign of dark hours ahead.

on the contrary - dark hours were brought on by the violent colonial project of indigenous genocide.

maybe it's just me, but i don't think the French should be importing police to a tiny island nation to stop the locals from rioting against deepening French control of the island - especially at the expense of the indigenous population

here's the example i saw that was on my mind

i just learned about collections of kids organizing protests of end-of-year tests. i know a lot of people are going to pretend like there aren't clear political reasons for kids coordinating struggles but, i hope those interested in liberatory politics are keeping an eye on this stuff.

last night while walking to get some dinner with my partners some lady was walking by and saying stuff to different people as she walked past and when she looked at me she said "ugly people all die"

i got to pet a big steer named Rufus though!!! the handler was like 'rufus means rust colored in latin, so he's a rufus covered rufus!!"

i'd like to see some non-enclosed critters, but, it's still nice to see people trying their hardest to help the critters that come under their care.

i just got back from the zoo and seeing the critters was SO rejuvenating
