I coordinate a local Transition Growing Places group and work closely with a community hub as we have a lot of crossover (gardening, sharing food etc).

We had a joint event today and the person in charge of the the hub messaged me "thank you for your help and patience today"

Hang on Fluffs, what point of today did you test my patience? Never.

Turns out two other people invited their groups along and demanded tables & awnings that Fluffs didn't have. And then got shitty that it wasn't there.

Fluffs and I had been planning for months and our bits ran fine.

Fluffs is Autistic and I'm ADHD and we operate as a single functional adult to the public.

A failure of leadership - Dogwood

As people lay trapped in their cars, B.C. public safety minister Mike Farnworth had something else on his mind: building a pipeline.

“If we can combine the resources and knowledge of these three pillars – municipalities, Indigenous governments and community groups – we can start reshaping the world at a local level in ways that will save lives and blunt future disasters.

It would be helpful if the provincial government pitched in, or at least stopped actively making the climate crisis worse. But we can’t wait for them. This disaster is still unfolding, and the next one is just around the corner. For today, here’s a growing list of emergency support services and verified fundraisers for those affected by the floods.”

"Community gardens are one of the best ways to bring people together. It teaches team work, work with immediate benefits, the wonder of seeing things grow and everyone feels useful and productive. You can grow a garden anywhere. It nurtures the soul." - Lyla Paakkanen for 1200 Posters Prints available: http://creativeactn.us/lp1200.
