  1. Fred Hollows built something remarkable but its future is under threat
    By Catherine James and Rachel Kelly

    Sixty years after Fred Hollows ventured into the outback to save the sight of thousands, a devoted team of specialists fears the life-changing work he started might not survive if governments cannot see past a funding blind spot.

  3. Eine superspannende, wenn auch sehr anstrengende #bergwaldprojekt Woche im wunderschönen Val Medel in der Südostschweiz liegt hinter mir.

    In 5 Tagen befreiten wir den Bergwald oberhalb von Curaglia von den Überresten der Durchforstung, um für neue Bäume Platz zu schaffen.
    Wir bauten Wildschutz-Zäune, um dem Wildverbiss entgegenzuwirken.
    Und schließlich pflanzten wir junge Weißtannen, Lärchen und Kiefern.

    Und das alles wie immer (!) mit einer astreinen Organisation, sehr netten und kompetenten GruppenleiterInnen und perfekter Verpflegung!

    Für einen robusteren (Berg-)Wald von morgen.

  4. Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.

    There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
    1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
    2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
    3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.

    And we won't let capitalism grind us down.

    Today, Atha:
    Reset the mouse traps in the bus
    Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
    Got a new phone from a good friend
    Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
    Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning Python

    And Inara:
    Did trans HRT injections
    Did some cleaning and tidying
    Took the car to do a slow charge session
    Did some phone setup
    Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.

    If you want to fling us some currency to keep the mardy old system at bay and fill up the bus's thirsty diesel tank, feel free to send to
    ko-fi.com/athakitsune or
    PayPal.me/athamanatha or
    Cashapp $athamanatha
    Wise and some limited bank transfer options also available on request.

    No content warning even though it's dirt-y talk.

    Find yourself a job or a volunteer opportunity that includes a perfectly constructed compost bin like the one I'm working on.

  6. CW: [Digital Volunteers needed]

    Dear #fediverse,

    We have created this account to support in sharing #mutualaid requests from #Palestine.

    The team has unfortunately not been able to keep up with the needs of the times - so we are looking for:

    #moderators , #admins or #volunteers to help manage this account

    we are looking for someone who can:
    - accept new followers and reshare mutual aid requests from #Gaza and #WestBank

    we dont have a roadmap for what this account could look like, but you are free to think about this account and suggest ways in which we can further help together

    this account was created after a similar one was #blocked and removed off of instagram, but we cant manage it alone anymore, since the original team has no capacity to manage this account

    we mostly wanted to share aid iniciatives but since many people from Gaza are joining #mastodon it would be great that this account can support at least in sharing #chuffed and other links to aid requests from Gaza

    - please feel free to comment in this post or send us a DM if you believe you would be up to the task of managing this account together with other #volunteers.

    we are sorry if this is not enough, or if it's not the ideal way to help Gaza, but it's what we have been able to do so far.

    thank you,

    #FreePalestine from the genocidal zionist occupation!

  10. "Forced #human #experimentation is a thing of the past!"

    Correct! Why need forceful human experimentation when you can #financially manipulate #people into #volunteering? That way #humanrights arent taken at least on paper.

  13. Julia is our midterm executive director & she's been doing a fantastic job.

    Meet Julia:

    Julia McDougall

    Julia (she/her) is passionate about environmentalism and community engagement. Raised in Kamloops, British Columbia on Tk'emlups te Secwepemc territory, Julia spent her childhood hiking with dogs, canoeing through local lakes and rivers, and photographing the wildlife around her. With a camera and backpack in hand, Julia has travelled to six of the world's seven continents to learn as much as she can about different cultures and their connections to nature. Julia completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph in Animal Biology and later pursued a Master's degree in Conservation Research at Oxford Brookes University. She has conducted research on mountain gorillas in Uganda and black bears in Canada, which has shown her the importance of community dedication to local conservation issues. The links between positive environmental health and public engagement are clear, and have paved the way to her connection with Lifecycles Project Society. On her days off, you can often find Julia surfing in Tofino, hiking with her pup, or kayaking around the coast of Vancouver Island.

  14. Ella is a super rad person ❤️

    Meet, Ella Swan.

    Ella (they/them) is enthusiastic about increasing food security and reducing food waste. Raised to value local food systems, they have been working and volunteering for organizations related to sustainable agriculture and ecosystem health since their early teens. Their educational background is in Gender Studies, Environmental Studies and Restoration of Natural Systems. For Ella, the links between healthy food, healthy people and healthy ecosystems are clear. With practical experience in environmental restoration, farming and volunteer management, they are looking forward to supporting the administrative side of the Fruit Tree Project as well as joining in on fruit picks when opportunities arise. Ella is also passionate about art, and has a textile art practice. This is a way to (literally) weave together arts and environmentalism with their focus on reused materials, sheep to yarn explorations and natural dying. Ella is a settler of Scottish and English descent, and has been an uninvited guest on W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən territories for the past 9 years. They were born and raised on the territories of the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc peoples.

  15. Come to meet me & Julia (seen here), during #YYJ #GoByBike week, at #UVic on October 2nd. We're manning a #LifeCyclesFruitTreeProject info booth, free juice sampling station & giving away discount codes for our new orchard blend juice products. We'll be at UVic that day, from 9:30am - 12:45pm. Look for our banner, our logo marked van & me in an emerald green ballgown.

    We are a local #nonprofit food security organization. Run almost entirely on volunteers power. Please support our community work!

  17. I'm in charge!
    Promoted to be the sole adult (?) in the house with the two #grandchildren

    Mrs Mike has been called out to her #volunteering job.

    It's a bit of a pity that mum is due to be collecting them soon or we could get up to some silly stuffs.

    That's the thing about being a #grandparent - you can do the ridiculous things with a clear conscience

  18. It was great joining folks at Eno River Association building trails at an upcoming preserve yesterday. While there is so much work yet to be done in this union, and we suffer from the aftermath of a troubled history that still impacts and harms people until this day, I believe that public lands accessible for all to enjoy in principle is one of the most radically beautiful ideas ever.
