Were Shutting Down the Keystone XL Pipeline

 

In the words of SOLE.

Amy Goodman did an informative interview with Bill McKibben about the drawing the line on the Keystone XL pipeline.

"if you tap into, if you burn all of that economically recoverable oil up there in Alberta, then it is game over for the planet. There’s just too much carbon."

 

Read the interview here:

The natural disasters happening all over the world, most recently The Rim Fire in the North Sierra's and the flooding in Colorado*. I have been thinking about this for years. After Katrina, and the 2 Tsunamis in Asia, the fires, floods, its time to stop thinking about all of these events as mere coincidence but an early warning of sorts of what is to come. This is just the beginning. He goes on to say that "What we call civilization will just be a big disaster response operation." in the future if we don't stop what we are doing to our planet now. 

 

I will be going out SATURDAY the 21st to protest the Keystone XL pipeline. Will you join too?

*The floods in Colorado are estimated at 2 billion in property damage, so far. 

 

 

i love this guy...

He's fucking hilarious.

It has been 2 weeks to the day since my beautiful joy of my life peacefully passed away next to me in our bed. I still can not believe that this reality that i wake up to in shock every morning is real. And the fact that time is taking me further and further away from the last time i rubbed his belly, pet his head, kissed his little nose, held his soft paw in my hand, smelled his wonderful scent, or told him I love him. I miss my boy more than anything and i long for him so desperately. It is so quiet in the house and so lonesome without my booboo. He is everything to me. Every day I rush home from work to see him and have our snuggle sesh. Every weekend plan, every vacation taken, my motivation to keep going when I feel like giving up. He really is the best boy I could have asked for in life, didn't need much training, actually I didn't want to train his own will out of him as a pup so i just stuck to the basics, potty training, sit, stay, etc but he learned so much more just living life, he had a HUGE vocabulary of words he understood, I could just talk to him, i never needed to shout commands, in fact i never really needed to discipline him much because he is just so good natured and mellow. He won over everyone, even the dog haters couldn't resist KC. He is all love, all booboo love, he put others feeling and happiness before his own, tho i kept him a pretty happy boy. But for whatever I gave him, he gave me back ten fold. He gave me more than i think i deserve and now that he is gone i miss that love he would give to me so freely, i really miss it. I will NEVER know this kind of love, this real true unconditional love again in my life. I know that kinda sounds sad and defeating but that is not the way i mean it, i mean that what we share together is so special to us that i will never find that again. That is the love of me and KC that we made together and I will never let it go, i will remember and try to live in our love for the rest of my life, he is always in my heart forever, until we are together again. I am so thankful that over 15 years ago he found me in that shelter I visited trying to find him. I think he knows so much that I don't or didn't, he has always known.

I could write a novel about KC, his cute behaviors, our life together, losing him and how huge a part of my life he is and how many people love him. But i need to keep it short and sweet (my tears are streaming) and leave the good stuff for me to keep. I will probably share more here and there, i have the giant task of compiling 15 years of photos and videos into book and dvd format, much of which is film, actual film, KC pre-dates digital media. So I will likely find a million great photos and vids of my little baby that might make me feel good to share.

The Love Of My Life

I love this little boy more than life itself.

He is my joy and happiness.

He is still here, although I dont know for how long.

Cherishing every moment.

 

All For KC

This is the hardest time in my life.
I dont know how to say goodbye to my best friend, my loyal companion and soul mate of 15 years. I dont know when is the right time, if its what he wants/ needs.
If there is something more I can do to help him. If i have failed as his mamma.
He is such a fighter that it is really hard to give up on him, because he has not given up.

Im Emma Goldman

Sole just released "I Think Im Emma Goldman".

( Make it full screen )

"I internalized so many of Emma's ideas, everything from rejecting heirarchy in both society and daily life, atheism, to supporting all forms of direct action, and standing up for the rights of the workers, the dispossesed and standing against the empire. Emma was a fearless individual in a time of great upheaval, whereever there was fire, Emma brought kerosine. I always refer to her as the female Malcom X. The time was right, in the wake of Occupy and everything that is happening in the world Emma's work and anarchist philosophy (and practice) is more relevant than ever." -SOLE

My KC

i heart sloths

 

 

I have this little ornament thingie given to me by my bf around x-mas time and i hung it on my little charlie brown tree because i love sloths so dearly. I was talking about how i want to go to Costa Rica so bad just to play with sloths and have them hang allover me.

It began in high school art class where we would spend some time looking thru old National Geographics for some "inspiration" ... or just to be lazy teenagers ... and i came to a page filled to the brim with the cutest face i had ever seen. a sloth. that was it, i was in love for life.

So I guess this little guy hanging on my tree will be in a new movie called the Croods. Its really about some cavemen but i think the best thing about this movie is a sloth named Belt.

Read THIS and you will understand what we are going thru.

My 15 year old KC has had a trying year.
This all started around Easter last year, April.
He developed what I thought was an ear infection. It started with him scraching and flipping his right ear. Gradually over the next day he slowly developed a head tilt until the following day it RAPIDLY turned into a complete head tilt at a right angle even when standing. I took him to the vet right away, seriously he probably wouldnt have made it another two days. He was put on antibiotics immediately with an injected starter dose. It was either a severy interear infection or vestibular disease. I was told to watch him for the next 2 weeks while on the antibiotics and he will probably slowly come out of the head tilt.  Good news is he did. It took about a week and a half for him to be pretty much back to normal. I was with my family over Easter, thinking this might be the end for my little Booboo. But he made a great recovery, I thought I had dodged a bullet on that one.
He was fine, back to normal (arthritis and hip dysplasia) until September. I went thru a very sad family loss. I was very upset and distraught during that time. About 2 weeks later we notice some very unusual behavior out of nowhere. There was slime in a puddle on the floor and about 2 feet away was a pile of poo. KC NEVER poos in the house, NEVER! So it was a huge red flag. We watched him for the next 2 days closley until at 5am I was awoken and told that KC had just had a seisure. WHAT?!?! This is where our nighmare began.
