It's All Been Done Before @allbeendonebefore - Tumblr Blog

i was unexpectedly surprised with a copy of Braiding Sweetgrass I'd put on hold months ago and forgotten about and it turned up coincidentally at the perfect time in my readings since I'd just finished a collection of presentations on the intersections between traditional knowledge, ecology, and healthcare.

I've heard a lot about how important and good this book is even though I hadn't really heard all that much about what it was about or whether or not it would be relevant to the work I'm doing but just having finished the first section i feel like i'm already shooing away that question about relevancy. it's relevant to me as a human living on this planet and that's more than enough in itself.

#cannot recommend this book enough #the author speaks about choosing to pursue biology and botany over poetry and the whole time im reading im like #im glad you didn't actually have to choose #hapo's workventures #hapo rambles #also its really good to read after i spent most of today following up on articles about forced sterilization

got emo at the health centre because they had ted harrison prints in the waiting area and im like im not the target audience for this (people who have to come here from the territories for diagnosis/treatment) but i appreciate it all the same.

#it cheered me up instantly after i biked there in pouring rain haha #i've got a ted harrison print over my desk to look at each day #personal hapo

trying to identify the things that are blocking me in my life creatively and otherwise and one big one is that dollarama stopped stocking my favourite sketchbooks >:'T I have one empty one left and then a couple in BC still so I'm not in a complete panic yet but IT'S NOT HELPING

#teenage me would cry if she knew how devoted i was to dollarama sketchbooks lol #but i will introduce her to talens and she'll calm down #hapo rambles #personal hapo

its raining all week including on the Ride of the Fancy Women on sunday so I guess I am going to build a fancy outfit around my neon windbreaker. we're just going to combine pride and fancy women into one outfit i guess :D

edit: got my dates mixed up so there's still hope for sunshine but I am still pondering my outfit In Case

#GET. YOUR. SPARKLE ON!#this years ride is going to be in the river valley so either we will be protected or drenched by the trees #personal hapo #hapo rambles #i will probably wear something similar to what i'll be giving tours in later this summer #i have a poncho i can wear but im not sure if i should even bother with a hat #helmet should be fine

Went out to an event for enrichment and they hauled Corb Lund onto the stage and he was all "I didn't know this was going on I was just here to shoot an Instagram video..." He's fighting the good fight I'm so happy.

Albertans go sign his petition NOW, it's in the final stretch!!! The mining projects named affect BOTH northern and southern Alberta. They have been killed repeatedly but the government keeps resurrecting them. We will knock down as many as it takes!!!

#Alberta is a joke but one of our biggest country stars decided to almost singlehandedly fight the government #and whenever I see him out doing his thing I gain HP #Albertans I'm Begging you go sign the Water Not Coal petition RIGHT NOW if you haven't #my pal got a canvasser to bring the petition directly to her parents in their home #you can do it!!!!!!

no habs... no...

#i feel sick aaaaaaaaaaaaagh #so for 24 hours i will completely forget what hockey is and then #i promise i will return to my annoying WELL its OUR TURN TO BRING IT HOME self

it's 25-28 degrees outside and yet i have to turn on my desk lamp because its so dark i can't read hahaha

hoping for a big thunderstorm this week for all my new plants to get soaked

#unfortunately i need to figure out a way to cap my rain barrels properly #the snow melt was next to useless because i didnt realize there was a hole in the back for a hose attachment waaahghh #hapo rambles #hapo's workventures #i was crying about spending money and then spending the morning planting but yknow #looking out at my flowers on the deck is so nice ;~;#personal hapo

yeeted myself out of bed to put all the plants i bought yesterday in pots or in the ground before i even brushed my teeth because its 28 today and i slept horribly and i need to legitimately wake up about half an hour earlier every morning so i can go outside and water them in the cold so how's that for goal setting
