There’s no smoke without fire, they say. Fire (and smoke) has been very much on our minds lately. In Canada,forest fires rage unabated. Although they are quite used to a “fire season,” this is the worst for over thirty years, with around 19.5 million acres burned so far (can you imagine?) and popping up all over the place. This has had a terrible effect on air quality, with smoke drifting across to the United States and even, recently, to Europe. The skies over New York and other cities have had an eerie glow.
Now, much closer to home and across the Caribbean, we continue to be plagued by fires. I have been writing about it for years now, and the Jamaica Environment Trust has campaigned on the issue – in particular, the horrific fires we have endured when our dumps catch fire (no, they are not landfills). And now…

Across states, we’re seeing promising signs that the judiciary may wind up serving as a check on the relentless Republican campaign to disempower and disenfranchise. G.O.P. attempts to impose a kind of semi-fascist federalism is being trumped by our own constitutional democracy.
This month, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction for three trans youths against provisions in a Florida law denying gender affirming care to children, with the judge saying in a scathing opinion that their families are “likely to prevail on their claim that the prohibition is unconstitutional.”
He said it’s “not comforting” that people in the community would support these ideals, “but what’s more alarming is when people appear to be organized and they appear to be emboldened to engage in intimidating behaviour in a council chamber in front of a … body who’s tasked with dealing with the city in a democratic way.”
Outbursts from the gallery, applause and punctuating remarks, Pollard added, gave the impression that the group was an “organized mob.”
Despite the hate received, the city will not be cancelling any pride events, Mayor Young said.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
I have just finished, in 28 days, writing 80k words, so my rough draft is done. I say rough draft, because it contains scene markers, and I haven’t even bothered to spell check it, but I am too drained to go back through it, yet, so I will treat it as a first draft, and let it sit for a while. Now, back to my regularly scheduled Writing Process note:
I still see that I tried to fit too much information into too little space in an attempt to save resources.
In vain.
I also see that a novel needs to be worked on all at once, not paused for another book to be written, even if it is nonfiction. Two major projects do not play well together, at least for me
And trying to jot down…

Hier kommt unser zweites Musikvideo vom Auftritt zum Sankt-Hans-Abend. Ministerin Marie Bjerre hielt eine kurze Ansprache. Als man sie gefragt hatte, ob sie kommen würde, wusste sie noch nicht einmal, ob sie wiedergewählt werden würde, geschweige denn, dass sie einen Ministerposten haben würde. Aber sie kam! 😉 Der Vormann vom Verein hat sie dann gleich dazu gekapert fünf Lose für die spätere Lotterie zu ziehen. Auch hier spielten wir erst einmal zum Essen und später mehr rockig. Es ging hier etwas lebhafter und chaotischer zu, weil alle Altersklassen zwischen 2 und 90 zur Stelle waren. Ich muss noch lernen, mich von den Aktivitäten um mich herum nicht ablenken zu lassen. Auch hier wurden wir gut behandelt und unsere Musik wurde geschätzt.
