It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Important to uplift diverse Native voices, artists, teachers, leaders. Also important for non-Native people to realize the ongoing struggles with colonization. Going to talk about something happening near Roc NY- a datacenter threatening the Tonawanda Seneca Nation...
Pic (taken by me) at a public forum in March to discuss (and protest) the planned massive datacenter that would be built directly next to the Tonawanda Seneca Nation, threatening their water, land, and lives. Scott Logan is speaking.

The shorebirds got thoughts.
A groups of ducks are on the lake: a scoter, a pintail, and a red-breasted merganser. "So a really stupid old human that a lot of other really stupid humans support is calling it 'Lake Amercia.'” "That’s dumb." 
"Yeah, but no one cares. Just ignore it and focus on the important stuff."
Meanwhile, Dollie the punk merganser is nearby, screaming at shore, sticking a feather on each wing and one on tail straight up: "It's Ontario, you illegitimate, colonizer joke country run by whiny inncels! Stick your trashy red-white-and-blue up your cloacas!"

Back in winter, Kay and I hiked the Genessee River trail from our apt in Roc to Lake Ontario (ONTARIO!) Saw many cool ducks and birds! My hands were freezing and I turn into a chatterbox when excited by birds, but in this little clip spot longtails, red-breasted mergansers, and a scoter (?).

Story time! Baby raccoon rescue! We live in a ground floor apt, and outside our main windows is an alley/lot with garbage/recycle bins. Last night we had windows open and heard something struggling in a closed bin. Sounded like a trapped animal… (1 of 11)

Stoat Quest episode 22
Otter: Ahoy! Wee ermine! Stoat: You're not a wizard frog. Who are you? Otter: My name... is... Stoat: Oh, wait! Otter in a kilt! You're MacCrivens! Otter: Ach! By Lucifer’s Pelt! ’Tis not me name! Stoat: The merganser said it was. 
Otter: That fool bird! Always squawkin’ an’ callin’ me wrong names an’ stealin’ me chips an’ sittin’ her feathery bum on me head as if it were a bloody egg-nest! But that’s not why I’m here. I came to warn you. The danger the wizard frogs spoke of is near. 
Stoat: I’m not afraid. I’m a hero. 
Otter: Aye, but don’t be a fool. “Rugged individualism” is the delusion of privileged, pampered-bottomed lilywhiters who think the universe revolves around their own sheltered lives. Don’t drink the Chosen One Hot Toddy.Otter: Community is the key, is what I’m sayin.’ Here. Take this. Use it when you’re in danger, and help will come. Any questions? 
Stoat: Erm… any chance you're really a marten in disguise?
Otter: Y’ think I’m a wee marten?! Bah! I’m a proud otter! My name is MacCrivens! I— NO! That’s not my name! I… Arrgh! I can't think clearly! Where’s my cuz with that bloody pipe? I need a rip!
