I’m gonna say it. The musical lion? Sucks. Like ok, explain to me, lion, how you would have fought that battle yourself. You were an oversized kitten in a cage. Tell me, lion, how you think you could have gotten out of that and “fought that battle.” Because I don’t think you, a little baby puffball, could have done anything. We knew you were a coward, lion, but a liar too? I hate you. You owe Elphaba your loyalty and you know it. No wonder you’re a coward, and it’s entirely your own fault, nothing to do with Elphaba. You did this to yourself, lion.

Oooo something else that happened at my conference for work

An exhibitor from the neighboring booth was talking to me about my powerchair and he asked me how much/if I could walk

(I practiced this phrase the morning before I went to work every day there)

"Oh, why do you ask?" Politely, and with a quizzical look. Which morphed into an awkard smile while he scrambled for a good excuse for such an invasive and unnecessary question.

But, of course, there wasn't one. And hopefully, he will think about that the next time he is curious about the LEVEL OF ABILITY OF A STRANGERS BODY PARTS.

#I found this post in the drafts of my personal blog #from July of 2021 #I need to remember 'oh why do you ask?'

Really the monsters in supernatural should have moved to Europe or just outside the US cause like the brothers wouldn't leave the country anyways

#spn #supernatural #this is assuming the hunting culture outside the us is much smaller #now im wondering how it would look like in other countries #because we get a very limited portrayal through sam and dean as they dont leave the us #another i found in my drafts from 2021 #dean #destiel #cas #dean winchester #deancas

For years, the people of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation watched over their waters and waited. They had spent nearly two decades working with Canada’s federal government to negotiate protections for Kitasu Bay, an area off the coast of British Columbia that was vulnerable to overfishing.

But the discussions never seemed to go anywhere. First, they broke down over pushback from the fishing industry, then over a planned oil tanker route directly through Kitasoo/Xai’xais waters.

“We were getting really frustrated with the federal government. They kept jumping onboard and then pulling out,” says Douglas Neasloss, the chief councillor and resource stewardship director of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation. “Meanwhile, we’d been involved in marine planning for 20 years – and we still had no protected areas.”

Instead, the nation watched as commercial overfishing decimated the fish populations its people had relied on for thousands of years.

Nestled on the west coast of Swindle Island, approximately 500km north of Vancouver, Kitasu Bay is home to a rich array of marine life: urchins and abalone populate the intertidal pools, salmon swim in the streams and halibut take shelter in the deep waters. In March, herring return to spawn in the eelgrass meadows and kelp forests, nourishing humpback whales, eagles, wolves and bears.

“Kitasu Bay is the most important area for the community – that’s where we get all of our food,” Neasloss says. “It’s one of the last areas where you still get a decent spawn of herring.”

So in December 2021, when the Department of Fisheries and Oceans withdrew from discussions once again, the nation decided to act. “My community basically said, ‘We’re tired of waiting. Let’s take it upon ourselves to do something about it,’” Neasloss says.

What they did was unilaterally declare the creation of a new marine protected area (MPA). In June 2022, the nation set aside 33.5 sq km near Laredo Sound as the new Gitdisdzu Lugyeks (Kitasu Bay) MPA – closing the waters of the bay to commercial and sport fishing.

It is a largely unprecedented move. While other marine protected areas in Canada fall under the protection of the federal government through the Oceans Act, Kitasu Bay is the first to be declared under Indigenous law, under the jurisdiction and authority of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation.

Although they did not wait for government approval, the Kitasoo did consult extensively: the declaration was accompanied by a draft management plan, finalised in October after three months of consultation with industry and community stakeholders. But the government did not provide feedback during that period, according to Neasloss, beyond an acknowledgment that it had received the plan...

Approximately 95% of British Columbia is unceded: most First Nations in the province of British Columbia never signed treaties giving up ownership of their lands and waters to the crown. This puts them in a unique position to assert their rights and title, according to Neasloss, who hopes other First Nations will be inspired to take a similarly proactive approach to conservation...

Collaboration remains the goal, and Neasloss points to a landmark agreement between the Haida nation and the government in 1988 to partner in conserving the Gwaii Haanas archipelago, despite both parties asserting their sovereignty over it. A similar deal was made in 2010 for the region’s 3,400 sq km Gwaii Haanas national marine conservation area.

“They found a way to work together, which is pretty exciting,” says Neasloss. “And I think there may be more Indigenous protected areas that are overlaid with something else.”
