The trail up to the summit was covered in wild blackberries that were just turning ripe. We stopped and ate for a while before continuing the climb.

"Your community is situated in a popular Canadian drilling region. Has there been more conflict there, apart from yours?

There's been all kinds of stuff that's happened in my area that never hits the papers. Supposedly, someone blew up a pipe just across the border in Tomslake, BC.

And there was one sour gas well that blew right on the same road two or three kilometers from the alleged bombing site. The pipe actually blew out from sand corrosion on an elbow from fracking—they hadn't cleaned it out properly—and that thing blew for eight hours. The people in that area had to self-evacuate. Nobody came.

Even when they called 911 they didn't come. Eight hours of "jet engine" blasting of sour gas into the atmosphere. Cattle lost their fetuses, horses got sick, and one of the women who lives nearby is sick, probably for life."

This is a protest. His refusal is saving lives and land. Imagine the whole community doing this. A whole city. Region. Tribe.

Sometimes, we all need someone to tell us we're worthy, louder than our anxiety/doubt/depression tells us we're not. So, I am starting TRUTHY TUESDAY

If you need a little truth, if your being lied to by your mental illness, your past, your self doubt, (or another person), feel free to send me an ask, and I’ll tell you the truth.

Today’s Truthy Tuesday Reminder:

You are not the sum of your bad days.

You are not your mistakes.

You are worthy of love and respect.
