Check on your friends today. Check on your Vet friends. Check on anyone with CPTSD or PTSD. Fireworks are extremely triggering to us. Take good care of your animals.

When folks argue that a Universal Basic Income would deter working, think about those million-dollar CEOs. If a modest $15k is enough to make one quit working, wouldn’t multi-million dollar packages make CEOs practically comatose? Yet, here they are, still CEOing. Weird isn't it?

Chronic pain is hitting me hard again. Very predictable post ablation, every 5 months post my pain jumps to a 6 or 7/10 everyday. I get no relief. I have to live like this for 4 more months until the next one. Wash, rinse, repeat. He can’t do it less than 9 bc of RVH’s protocol :((

Leopard Tree, Panama

What a gorgeous canopy!
A leopard tree does not suffer from many pests or disease. They do prefer a hot and dry summer

Have a look within my SmugMug site for some #WallArt for your home, cottage or office.

Love the look of the Harris’s hawk!
Fierce looking & a stealth flier.

This was at the Falconry Centre in Tottenham, Ontario, Canada.
I have another Harris’s hawk in flight in my Wildlife gallery on my photo site. Have a peek 🫣 and see what u can find.

How about a beautiful serene photograph of the hike I went on near Eugenia Falls, Eugenia, Ontario, 🇨🇦?

It’s a good day for some tranquility and relaxation.

Have this feeling permanently if you purchase this on canvas, metal or acrylic #WallArt!

I’m pretty down. Pretty frustrated and feeling defeated. I’m busting my butt trying to sell my work and I have low sales. Seemingly low interest or people telling me they’ll buy, but end up not living into their word. I want to supplement my ODSP with my earnings :(

Down today. I’m no contact w my mother. She said my rapes were “poor choices” on my part. Who says that?! And a mother ffs?! How could I go back after that?! She may be hurt or likely more pissed I didn’t send a card or call but the boundaries have been made. No contact. If you’re NC too I get it!

Tomorrow won’t be a good day. I have a mother but we’re no contact. The last contact we had she stated “your poor choices are what caused your rapes” so I will not be reconnecting with her anytime soon or bc of the pressure of Mothers Day. Sure guilt creeps in that I didn’t get a card, how can I?

The concept of Universal Basic Income isn't about discouraging hard work; it's about ensuring everyone has the fundamental necessities to survive. Our society should not be one where survival is a privilege. It's time we make it a right. Basic income is not charity; it's justice.
