It's always hard reading about the violence committed to steal America, but the buffalo is always like... That's some inhuman shit. Everyone is burning in hell for that one. Wdym there were thirty to sixty MILLION buffalo in 1800, and by 1900 there were only 300 left. THREE HUNDRED. Do you know, can you fathom the amount of purposeful cruelty required to kill NINETY NINE PERCENT of a population of an animal, just to spite and murder the living Native people who existed and thrived with them? All this, for White Power and Entitlement?? Sickening.
I had the pleasure of visiting a bison breeding site recently. There is a natural herd that lives on a Nature Conservancy-owned plot of land which has been restored to native prairie and they are maintaining a herd which is also the source of new herds in other places.
People do terrible things but other people do great things. Never give up hope. There are baby bison frolicking in Illinois today.
Here is a picture of a baby bison I took at the Oakland Zoo in 2021.
The Oakland Zoo's bison program is in collaboration with the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. This baby was released with others from the Oakland Zoo herd as part of returning bison to the plains of Montana.
We can't erase what colonists and settlers did, but we can work to fix the damage, and many, many people and organizations are working to save the bison and re-wild them, led by the indigenous peoples of the US and Canada who have been their stewards for so long.
I encourage everyone to find out what programs and systems they can support in their local areas and communities-- it can be as fun as purchasing a zoo or museum membership if those orgs do this kind of work.
Authorities in Uganda declared the country free of Ebola following the discharge of the countryβs last patient! The country reported cases in May alongside its neighbor Democratic Republic of Congo, which continues to deal with the outbreak β Uganda, however, only ever recorded 20 cases and two deaths, with authorities finding no indication of further spread within the country! Uganda responded swiftly to the public health threat, including contact tracing and postponing potential superspreader events. Part of the reason the response was so successful was due to Uganda having experience in swiftly responding to health crises like Ebola. Uganda for now can breathe a sigh of relief as it continues to educate the public on prevention measures as well as send healthcare workers to Congo to help tackle the virus!
Uganda discharged its last Ebola patient from hospital roughly two weeks ago.
2. ππΊοΈ 7 natural wonders just became UNESCO World Heritage sites β and one country gained its very first!
These newly-christened landmarks highlight Earthβs cultural and natural diversity, from the massive ancient landscape of Greeceβs Mount Olympus, to climate-resilient coral reefs in Jordan, to fossils in Denmark that provide clues into the evolution of life on Earth! Joining the World Heritage Listβs 26 new sites for 2026, these natural landmarks include the first ever World Heritage site in South Sudan, which annually hosts the worldβs largest land mammal migration of six million antelopes!
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has followed advice from IUCN, as the official advisor on nature, to inscribe seven new sites on the Wor
3. π«π§ͺ Sweden plans to ban all forever chemicals in everyday products by 2028!
PFAs, or βforever chemicals,β are synthetic chemicals that take thousands of years to degrade and pollute the environment, all while being linked to harmful health impacts. The banβs prohibition of PFAs in commonly-used products like kitchen appliances, clothes, and cosmetics is a victory for both the environment and human health!
Sweden plans to ban forever chemicals in kitchen appliances and clothing by 2028. When will the EU follow suit?
4. π§π± Water is returning to the African Sahel!
Groundwater reserves are rising after decades of drought in the region, restoring water to dried water sources! While part of the shift unfortunately comes from increasingly stronger rainfall due to climate change, it is also largely in part to rain-water harvesting. From Ethiopia to Senegal, the drought of the 1970s and 1980s fueled hunger and disease, but as monsoons now grow stronger, today the region shows a vastly different story β near-extinct wildlife are resurging, farmers are planting thriving trees and harvesting higher-yielding crops, and wells and new ponds are filling! One of the most notable transformations can be seen in Lake Chad β one of Africaβs largest bodies of water before drying up during the droughts, the lake is now almost as big as in the 1960s, and is 10 times its mid-1980s size!
Warming has brought extreme rain to the parched Sahel, which is seeing aquifers refill as monsoons grow stronger. But heavier downpours alon
5. ππΌ Childhood immunization continues to grow globally!
Despite vaccine efforts being threatened by conflict and vaccine hesitancy, in 2025, 90% of infants globally received at least one dose of a diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine, and 85% completed the full three-dose series, an increase from 2024. Compared to 2024, the number of unvaccinated children with no doses fell by nearly 750,000! These numbers reflects the strides made in protecting children's health β in just the past 25 years, government investment, community efforts, and public trust have reduced the annual number of unvaccinated children by 40%!
Zero-dose children fell by nearly 750,000 in the past year, but drop-out numbers high and stagnant, increasing risk of disease outbreaks
I learned to sew in college when I had an open elective slot and needed an art credit.
I now sew well enough I can make a lined 3 piece pinstripe men's suit in about 3 days, including fabric selection, altering my patterns, pre-washing fabric, and a day spent on tidying up any final tailoring.
What I cannot do is find decent fabric in a brick and morter store within 3 hours drive of where I live. This matters, because fabric drape and feel cannot be determined online, and online vendors lie CONSTANTLY about the composition and quality of their fabric.
I will order something at a reasonable price for suiting fabric (wool blend) and get some synthetic garbage I couldn't use to make a potholder.
We have reached a point of capitalism where I can't buy clothes off the rack that fit me well and I can't buy decent fabric to make my own clothes to fit me well. I can only buy clothes a couple sizes too large and hope that the arm holes line up well enough for me to tailor them to fit me well.
Half the time I do this, the shirt arrives made of a fast fashion fabric that is such garbage that it's not worth the time to try. It doesn't matter the budget. The expensive clothes are expensive fast fashion that's built to be just as disposable as the cheap clothes.
I want consumer protections that differentiate between fabrics. I want to actually get the fabric I order.
For that matter, I want paying more for something to actually mean higher quality and not just a higher mark up.

The fridge we pulled up from the inlaws' basement is now in the Old BP. Farmer M hooked it up to the battery which is connected to solar panels there.
It seems a little overkill for their uses for now, but hey, free fridge.
Stacks of solar panels for their upcoming projects. One of the Very Big projects they have coming up is redoing the roof of the Old BP, which will involve a lot of structural work, including fixing some issues with the walls, in addition to the roof. Then they want to cover the roof with solar panels, to run the place.
Sovereign has been busy, taking down the house that the meth heads burned out. Last I heard, he wanted to put a taco truck here, but we'll see.
I assume the immediate neighbors will be thrilled to see this once- awesome-house-turned eyesore go.
Befriending heavy equipment operators has changed EVERYTHING. It's unbelievable what this equipment can do. All the work we've done at Critter Cove is by hand, and hand tools. But equipment like this can do in a few swipes what would take a half day by hand. It's something else.
It also takes a LOT of skill to use these. But now we know Sovereign (who is insanely skilled), Farmer M, and his BFF T (also very skilled).
On my end, the cooking, cleaning, Sorting Of Stuff continues while I just joined another local mutual aid group that I heard was active... V is finding new projects to get into already.
She built - by herself, of her own design - an extremely sturdy and fancy place for her chickens, ducks, etc.
She clearly has the family good-with-engineering genes.
The big dark circle is a pond, the dark container to the right is a water reservoir, and there's pipes with water running out. There's a whole filtration system, with water continually pumped and cleaned.
There's enough room to hang out with all the birds in the structure. They have feeders and in the back, the dark area for roosting. The whole structure has multiple layers of protection, with a cattle panel (?) layer and a very fine hardware cloth (?) layer. She also has 2 big dogs that have full run of the fenced in backyard. It's super impressive!

My in-laws are going from a gargantuan house in the Atlanta suburbs to a small, 2-room apartment in a retirement community in the Atlanta suburbs. My FIL wants to move fast, but the house was filled with soooo much stuff, mostly thanks to my MIL who was an avid TJ Maxx (upscale-ish discount store, carrying things originally in nice department stores) shopper for decades plus they lived there for decades. The home was so big it's like having a storage unit itself.
This is our 3rd trip down there in as many weeks, helping to empty out the house.
It's all logistics. Family has already been through the house. The stuff we're pulling is for V or our home, for local friends, to donate to mutual aid groups, etc. etc.
Yes, the truck eats gas. V does the driving because I hate driving this giant behemoth of a truck - you can't see anything!! We are both drinking lots of coffee these days to get everything done.
There's still so much in the house. I think in the end, the remaining items will be donated to groups there. But the need here in WNC is intense, as this region is still deep in the recovery process from Helene.
One thing I'm marveling about my MIL is that despite a massive house filled with so much stuff, everything was extremely well organized, which makes this SO much easier. The whole thing was really serious example of domestic labor, beautifully decorated home, beautifully organized. She was born a poor ass mountain girl from the north Georgia mountains from a barely literate family, we're now dissembling her dream home.
Like so many of her family, her mind is gone from the Alzheimer's.
Farmer M was moved in on laaaaate Friday night / Saturday morning to the New Project location. His camper is 100% solar powered, but due to his chosen location, the trees block a lot of the panels (he has since moved it by 90Β° to get more sun).
No biggie. V has many more and is willing to set them up here.
On top of the camper are some large ass sheets of fancy greenhouse plastic - polycarbonate panels - the ones V specialty imported. They are a little damaged so can't be sold, BUT they can be used vertically to create a very fast vertical fence. Not a beautiful fence, but an easy, light-transmissible 7' fence that will help cut down on the winds from the traffic. Just on the far right of the photo, the gray you see is the small but busy rural highway.
Aside from the fence, next up is to work more on the well and get it fully hooked up to the camper, and some repair work to the septic and also get that hooked up to the camper. More fill dirt needs to be dumped as well - the assumption at this point is that the soil is at least somewhat contaminated.
Given the trees + overall dimensions of the land, it's not an amazing place for any sort of food production, though it is flat and Farmer M does have some in mind. I am chomping at the bit to get him seeds for what he needs, but he honestly has his mind on these bigger projects.
I can now sleep easier at night, knowing he's no longer at the old BP, even if there's much much much more work to be done. Most of it involves skills I do not have, but I can document to let people know what is possible, while cheering them on.
I'm also doing the unsexy behind-the-scenes supportive domestic labor for V, so he can focus on helping to do what needs to be done. Purchasing food, making food, doing laundry, making coffee, cleaning the house, taking care of the animals, etc. are all just parts in the greater chain.

While I was busy at work doing ... work things, V and Farmer M and T (a literal teenager, also brilliant) were figuring out if the well at the new locale works. It does!
Farmer M was all 'we ought to test this, it could have e. coli' and V just immediately started drinking it in large quantities and declared it good.
This is a screenshot of a completely unhinged video V took, but hopefully you can see the root cellar there. The grey box in the bottom of the picture is a large battery on wheels that has been charged up with solar panels (they call it a Fossibot), and the white piping on the right is the piping from the well. The giant claw above is the heavy equipment they used to pull up the piping, and hopefully you can see the water coming out as a small stream on the far right.
Reportedly, it tastes absolutely delicious!
Still no word on when Farmer M will move in. I'm afraid where he wants to be is currently a muddy pit, with the $1k in gravel on the other side of the property. But if we can get the water hooked up for him, that would be wonderful.

Sadly, it's a no go on that property for D. Reportedly the Wealthy Landowner decided to rent it to someone else for a huge amount of money instead.
We'll keep trying to help D find something near us, but it's hard, everything is insanely over priced here, especially small parcels of land, and most is in HOAs it seems like...

Alllmost cleaned up. There's a pile of tires to the left of the giant TV, a random old fireplace, hopefully one more major sweep will get the rest of the stuff out. And hopefully Farmer M can be there on Thursday or Friday. The sooner, the better.
We've paid about $1k for all that fucking gravel for him to change his mind, and decide that he wants his camper on the other side of the property (where the original home was). It's not a total loss, maybe V and Farmer M will put the metal storage building there. It's all in flux.
----
V and Bk just finished up wiring on a massive solar job at a crazy cult that has gone on for way too long, everyone is very happy about that. Hopefully they can get the last check and move on to the next job.
I had an intense day at work myself, mostly trying to figure out something with google business products that I don't think can be figured out. It's a multi-year problem I've spent hours working on and talking to tech support about on the phone and decided to take a stab at it again today. I'd like to say I've made progress but really there's a wall I'm hitting and it's ultimately the same one I've hit previously.

Tonight, we went to hang out with Z and the Black Panthers down in Asheville. The Black Panthers were mostly two very gritty no bullshit white women feeding the homeless a range of food, and also offering free water and clothing. They had multiple tents and tables and chairs set up and ice for the water and everything.
Z pulled out his guitar (it turns out he's an excellent musician), and then a homeless guy pulled out his guitar, and there was an amazing impromptu jam session. Farmer M and his kids were helping to serve food. They really didn't need any more servers, so I broke down garbage so it would better fit in the modestly sized garbage container and cheered on the excellent musicians, it was a lovely moment of community (I really wanted to take photos but resisted the urge, the musicians were putting on a show and soaking up every moment).
Anyway V and Farmer M are very interested in helping the Black Panthers of Asheville with some solar stuff in some capacity. The no-nonsense ladies were delighted to meet V.
