With 435 Holly, the bear that started me on my Katmai Bear Journey, not showing up yet this year, i am taking a lot of comfort in watching her offspring grow and thrive. Whether they are fishing up a storm like 89 Backpack or playing bitey face with the other subadults like 335 Jolly, they have all been a joy to watch.

503 Cubadult, Holly's son not by birth but by choice, has especially been a bright spot for me this year. Seeing him grow into the large, successful boar that he is today always warms my heart, because the story that him and Holly share -- the story of a scared cub separated too early and the nervous sow who decided to take him in despite the risks -- is one of the best and most special stories we have. We had never seen a Brown Bear adopt a cub before, we didn't know that was something that could even happen. And yet, back in 2014, against all odds, 435 Holly adopted 503 Cubadult.

We will never know how or why that adoption took place -- it happened mostly off camera, and obviously we can't ask the bears about it. But, at the risk of too much humanization, i cannot help but think that of course it was Holly who adopted him. Of course. She is a nervous mother, yes, but she is also a kind, gentle, caring one. When 89 Backpack was a yearling, he couldn't put any weight on one of his front paws for the entire season, and Holly slowed down so he could keep up and changed where she fished so he would be safer. If any sow was going to look at that small, lost, scared 1.5 year old cub and take him in...of course it would be 435 Holly.

i miss her.

Plant of the Day

Friday 10 May 2024

In Union Terrace, Aberdeen, the slide allows great views of the Helleborus argutifolius (holly-leaved hellebore) flowers and new foliage. This clump-forming, evergreen perennial can take the space of a small shrub once established.

There’s this song from the 80s that reminds me a bit of Chappell Roan. It’s called “High School Confidential” by the Canadian band Rough Trade. It’s about the singer, Carole Pope recalling having a crush on the mean girl in high school. It’s bouncy new wave, has provocative lyrics and a really unique vocalist.

It was such a big part of my childhood because my parents and the radio played it a lot. I was always happy to hear it on the 1 radio station we had that played rock music from the “80s, 90s and Now”. It’d come on between songs by the likes of Limp Bizkit and Bryan Adams (Canada’s Springsteen).

And it’s so cool—it’s an absolute bop about a young queer woman having a crush on another woman. That was huge! Now there are a ton of singers who sing about that whether it’s Chappell Roan or Billie Eilish or Syd tha Kid. (Or Hayley Kiyoko or Kehlani or girl in red or Shura or Arlo Parks or Rina Sawayama or MUNA or Hollie Col or Sarah Barrios or Tegan and Sara or Zolita or Xana or Fletcher or King Princess or mxmtoon or Halsey or Dodie or Megan thee Stallion or Phoebe Bridgers or Julien Baker or Lucy Dacus… It’s a great time to be alive for fans of queer female singers folks!)

Anyway, I love this song. It’s an incredible artifact of the 80s. Goes to show women have been writing catchy songs about having crushes on bitchy straight girls since probably Sappho and this track was another step forward in pop music for queer women perpetually afflicted by yearning.

Spring is creeping up the mountain! Snow still wraps the mid-to-high elevations of the park, but at low elevations early season wildflowers are beginning to bloom. Look for coltsfoot, trillium, yellow violets, and skunk cabbage along the road between the Nisqually Entrance and Longmire. Holly-leaf Oregon-grape (Berberis aquifolium) is less common, but you can find it blooming in a few low elevation areas in the park, including at Longmire. The lovely patch pictured here is located in a planted island near the Nisqually Entrance, visible as you drive in and out of the park. Holly-leaf Oregon-grape has shiny dark green leaves with spiny edges similar to its namesake. Its bright yellow flowers form large clusters at the end of each branch. What early season wildflowers are you beginning to see at home or in the park?

I feel like some of these characters could be swapped for one another but it still stands that this would be a Portland Row scene.

The scene in question

Excerpt from "The Family Treasure" NBC Quantum Leap (2024) 2x10

Transcript:

Sarah Malek: Oh my god, are you okay? Are those bandages? Are you hurt? Dean Malek: Not exactly. *takes off shirt to reveal chest bindings* It is a bandage, but that’s not why I wear it.

.

Ian Wright: Wow. Transmasculine in the ‘50s. I mean, I had a hunch. But this is … Jenn Chu: Isn’t that dangerous though, binding with elastic bandages? Ian: Good eye. Look at you. But there weren’t exactly a lot of options back then. Dean must feel so alone.

.

Sarah: I don’t understand. Dean: When I wear this, I feel more like myself. Sarah: So do you want to be a man? Dean: No. That’s not it. Sarah: Do you think it’s shameful to be a woman? Dean: No! Being a woman is great … for some people. But I’m not really one or the other. I’m just Dean.

…

Ben Song as Nadia Malek: You look badass. Dean: You two like the whole “miss” and “ma’am” thing, but that’s not me. And I’m … I don’t want to be “sir,” necessarily. I wish I had better words for it. Ben: You know, my best friend b-back at, um, finishing school- Ian: *laughs* Ben: They also feel the same way. So they ask us to use “they” and “them” instead of “he” or “she,” which is really binary. Dean: Binary like spy code? Ben: Yes, and also, a binary is anything with only two possibilities. A light switch is either on or off. A person is either good or bad. Sarah: But I don’t think that’s true. Ben: Exactly. So we need more possibilities than binary, right? Ian: *tears up* Ben: My friend identifies as nonbinary. Dean: I like that. Sarah: So that’s what you are, nonbinary? Dean: I mean, I’m not ONLY that. But yeah. Feels like me. Sarah: But you’re still my sister? Dean: I’m your sibling. Sarah: Okay. I can live with that. Come here *hugs them* I love you, Dean. Dean: I love you, too. Thank you for listening to me when I tell you who I am. Ian: Well done, Ben Song
