  1. You have no idea just how much I needed this win today, the past few days have been absolutely brutal. My mental health has been on the floor and I’ve been in the darkest place. I got up and I put my make up on (a mask of make up is essential for me when I feel this crap about myself or I won’t get out the door) then went to the river for a morning run. It was a challenging run my brain telling me I’m not good enough in so many ways but I needed the win so I took control and got myself the win. I know this doesn’t fix anything but I needed to remind myself that I am a strong and powerful woman that can fight back, even against my own poor mental health. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #ptsd #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #running #runningtherapy #riverrun #win #postivevibes #hope

  6. ‘We want the mill to shut down,’ #GrassyNarrows #FirstNation to #Ontario

    After nearly 60 years of industrial poisoning, the northwest #Indigenous community continues to demand justice

    September 17 2024

    "When members of #Asubpeeschoseewagong #Anishinabek (Grassy Narrows First Nation) and their supporters arrive at Queen’s Park this week, they’ll be calling for the #DrydenPulpAndPaper mill that’s been poisoning their water with #neurotoxins for nearly 60 years to permanently close.

    "'We want everybody to be compensated, we want the mill to shut down, and we don’t want no #mining or #logging in our territory. We just want it all to stop,' says #ChrissyIsaacs, lead organizer of the caravan.

    "Isaacs has been a staple of the annual #RiverRun demonstrations since they began in 2010. She was a leader among Grassy Narrows youths who blockaded #LoggingTrucks from entering the nearby #WhiskeyJackForest in 2002 and is currently travelling 1,900 kilometres to Toronto from her community near Ontario’s western border to protest the downriver effects of #methylmercury poisoning.

    "Staff at the upstream #ReedPaperMill in #DrydenOntario, about 150 kilometres east of Grassy Narrows, dumped nearly 10 metric tonnes of #mercury into the #EnglishWabigoon River system in the 1960s and early 1970s. Mercury poisoned the #plants and #fish that the people of Grassy Narrows, and neighbouring #Wabaseemoong Independent Nation, were consuming.

    "A half-century later, medical experts are finding that varying nervous and neurological health effects affect up to 90 per cent of Grassy Narrows residents.

    Members of Grassy Narrows First Nation stopped to demonstrate outside of the Dryden mill before heading to Toronto for the annual River Run demonstration at Queen’s Park. There, they will call on the Ontario government to compensate the community for generations of industrial poisoning and call for the mill, now owned by First Quality Enterprises, to be shut down.

    "The Grassy Narrows road blockade to prevent clear-cut logging and mining from happening in their traditional territories has stood for 22 years, and in that time Isaacs’s children have had children of their own. She says the conversation has never been transformed as much as it has this year.

    "In May, scientific researchers released the revelation that #sulphate and organic matter in the #effluent that the mill is still releasing into the river is making methylmercury in the river system even worse, as opposed to diminishing over time as they were told."

  11. #workoutoftheday #running

    My #morningrun didn't go as planned today. Temperature was -5°C and my old phone suddenly drained its battery at km 4. I really need a new one 😭!
    So I went back, but with no music to keep me focused I stopped after 2ish km.
    I must have run for about 6 km only.

  12. “There is no next book,” Fialka told me. “We’re only reading one book. Forever.”

    Finnegans Wake reading group finishes the book after 28 years and then continues on to page one.

    I would do this in a heartbeat if I could find such a group that fit my schedule, etc. So inspiring imho.

  13. Today's activity
    ➡️ 1h of #juggling : contact, pois, balls and clubs.
    ➡️ #riverrun. The weather was perfect. 21°C, sunny, cloudy and windy. That fresh breeze truly feels great!

    Fun fact: I sing when #running to keep my heartbeat in the right zone (I still don't know about zones but I'm hacking my way through them 😁). Anyway I was high-pitching 🎵I'm gonna make it fire baby!🎶 in #Dope by #BTS while this biker passed me by. He turned his head, 😂 and 👍
