Freedom, Reflection, & Forward Motion

June 19th, known as Juneteenth, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On this day in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that enslaved Black Americans were finally free.

Juneteenth is not only a day of remembrance — it’s a powerful symbol of liberation, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward justice and equality.


What Juneteenth Represents

🗝️ Delayed Freedom – Though the Emancipation Proclamation took effect in 1863, enforcement was slow and uneven. Juneteenth reminds us that freedom must be fought for and protected.

🔥 Resilience & Culture – Despite centuries of systemic oppression, Black communities have continued to rise, create, and lead in art, activism, business, and beyond.

🌍 Reflection & Responsibility – Juneteenth challenges all of us to recognize how the past informs the present — and how we can build a more inclusive, equitable future together.


Ways to Honor Juneteenth

📚 Learn Black History Beyond Textbooks
Explore the lives, achievements, and struggles that mainstream history often overlooks. Support Black authors, filmmakers, and educators.

🖤 Support Black-Owned Businesses
Every purchase is a vote. Support entrepreneurs and creators building wealth and legacy in their communities.

🎉 Join a Celebration or Protest
Juneteenth events often include music, art, food, and moments of healing. Celebrate and show up.

✊🏿 Have the Tough Conversations
Talk with family, friends, and co-workers about systemic inequality, allyship, and progress. Silence is complicity.


Cannabis and Social Equity 🌿

The War on Drugs disproportionately impacted Black communities for decades. Today, as cannabis becomes legal across many states, social equity programs are critical to ensuring that those most harmed have real ownership, opportunity, and voice in the new industry.

Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom without access, justice, or equity is incomplete — and cannabis legalization must be rooted in repairing the past.


Quick Recap

  • Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the U.S. and the ongoing fight for racial justice.
  • It’s a day of celebration, education, remembrance, and activism.
  • The cannabis community has a responsibility to support social equity, reparative justice, and inclusion.

Father’s Day

Honoring Strength, Guidance & Love

Father’s Day, celebrated on the third Sunday of June, is a tribute to the dads, granddads, stepdads, guardians, mentors, and father figures who help shape our lives. It’s a day not just for barbecues and ties, but for acknowledging the steady strength, quiet sacrifices, and unwavering support that so many fathers provide.


What Father’s Day Really Celebrates

🛠️ Support & Stability – Whether through a comforting word or showing up day after day, dads are often the foundation we lean on.

🧭 Guidance & Growth – From teaching us to ride a bike to helping us navigate life’s bigger turns, fathers leave lasting imprints on our path.

❤️ Love in Many Forms – Not every father expresses love the same way. Sometimes it’s a hug. Sometimes it’s a repaired sink, a home-cooked meal, or just showing up when it counts.

👥 Father Figures Count Too – Uncles, coaches, teachers, community leaders — anyone who’s stepped up to offer guidance and care — today, we celebrate you, too.


How to Celebrate Dad

  • 🎁 Give Something Thoughtful – Whether it’s a handmade card, a call, or a gift that says “I see you,” the thought goes a long way.
  • 🍽️ Share a Meal – Fire up the grill, go out to eat, or cook their favorite dish. Food brings stories and memories to the table.
  • 🎣 Do What He Loves – Fishing, watching sports, working on a project—join him in his element.
  • ✍️ Say What You’ve Been Meaning To – A few heartfelt words can mean more than anything money can buy.

The Chill Dad Vibe: Cannabis & CBD for Father’s Day 🌿

If your dad (or you) enjoys a little elevation or relaxation, this can be the perfect day to gift or enjoy:

  • 🛁 CBD bath salts for sore muscles and deep rest
  • 🍫 THC or CBD-infused edibles for a mellow evening
  • 🌿 Classic strains like Blue Dream or Granddaddy Purple for laid-back bonding
  • 🍻 Cannabis-infused beer or mocktails for a new kind of Father’s Day toast

Cannabis culture isn’t just for the young — it’s for anyone who values wellness, peace of mind, and maybe a few good laughs with loved ones.


Quick Recap

  • It’s a time to express gratitude, share quality time, and recognize the many forms of fatherly love.

Strawberry Moon @ TTOGR

Full Moon

Share This

A Sweet Signal of Summer’s Rise

The Strawberry Moon is June’s full moon — and no, it’s not pink or flavored like a berry, but it does mark a season of abundance, sweetness, and powerful transitions. Named by Native American tribes, particularly the Algonquin, the Strawberry Moon signaled the time to harvest ripe wild strawberries.

This moon rises just before summer’s peak, making it a vibrant symbol of ripening intentions, emotional clarity, and natural beauty. Whether you’re harvesting literal fruit or the results of your personal growth, this moon reminds us that now is the time to enjoy life’s flavor.


What the Strawberry Moon Represents

🌸 Fruition – This is a time when seeds planted earlier in the year begin to show results. What’s blooming in your life?

💞 Emotional Ripeness – Like strawberries, our feelings come into full flavor—rich, sweet, maybe even a little messy. Let them guide you with heart-centered honesty.

🔥 Passion & Playfulness – Summer solstice is near, and energy is rising. Let the Strawberry Moon be your invitation to live boldly, love deeply, and savor joy.


Rituals & Reflections

Moonlit Meditations – Sit outside and reflect on the emotional or creative “fruits” in your life. What’s come to light?

🕯️ Candle + Strawberry Offering – Light a pink or red candle. Eat strawberries with intention—honoring the sweetness you’ve created.

🧘‍♀️ Full Moon Journaling – Ask yourself: What am I ready to celebrate? What joy am I withholding that wants to be expressed?

🌿 Nature Connection – Take a walk, garden, or simply feel the warmth of the season on your skin. This moon reminds us to be in our bodies, with the Earth.


Cannabis and the Strawberry Moon 🍓🌿

The Strawberry Moon and cannabis share a kindred vibe—both are about slowing down and savoring the moment. A strawberry-flavored strain or CBD edible can heighten your lunar ritual, offering grounded euphoria or mindful calm.

Try:

  • Strawberry Cough (sativa) for uplifting energy
  • Strawberry Banana (hybrid) for chill joy
  • CBD-infused strawberry gummies for moonlit mindfulness

Whether you’re setting intentions, lighting up under moonlight, or simply tasting the sweetness of the season—let cannabis be a companion in your ritual.


Quick Recap

  • The Strawberry Moon is June’s full moon, symbolizing abundance, sweetness, and emotional growth.
  • It’s a great time for reflection, celebration, and nature connection.
  • Cannabis culture can blend beautifully with lunar rituals to enhance mindfulness and intention.

World Oceans Day @ TTOGR

World Oceans Day

One Ocean, One Climate, One Future — Together

Every year on June 8th, we celebrate World Oceans Day — a global reminder that our blue planet’s beating heart is its oceans. Covering over 70% of Earth’s surface, the ocean connects us all. It generates the oxygen we breathe, regulates the climate, feeds billions, and supports an incredible diversity of life. Without a healthy ocean, there is no healthy planet.

This year’s theme, “Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate,” calls for bold, collective efforts to protect marine ecosystems and restore the balance between humanity and nature.


Why the Ocean Matters

The ocean is far more than a picturesque vacation backdrop. It plays a critical role in climate regulation, carbon absorption, and oxygen production. It’s also a source of livelihood for over 3 billion people globally.

But today, our oceans are under threat:

  • 🌡️ Rising ocean temperatures and acidification are destroying coral reefs and marine life.
  • 🧴 Plastic pollution has reached even the deepest trenches of the sea.
  • 🐟 Overfishing disrupts food chains and coastal economies.
  • ⛴️ Oil spills and noise pollution threaten biodiversity and fragile habitats.

What You Can Do: Be a Wave of Change

You don’t have to live near a beach to make a difference. Small changes ripple into big impacts:

♻️ Reduce Plastic Use
Say no to single-use plastics. Carry reusable bags, bottles, and utensils, and support plastic-free brands.

🐟 Choose Sustainable Seafood
Opt for seafood certified by programs like the MSC or shop from local fishers using ethical practices.

🚿 Eco-Friendly Products
Use reef-safe sunscreens, biodegradable cleaners, and clothing made from organic or recycled materials.

🗳️ Support Policy & Protection
Advocate for marine-protected areas (MPAs) and climate policies that protect the ocean.


A Blue-Green Connection: Cannabis & the Ocean

Cannabis culture often intersects with nature appreciation—and that includes our oceans. Sustainable cannabis cultivation practices, such as reduced water use and eco-conscious packaging, help prevent runoff and waste that could harm marine ecosystems.

When you enjoy a beachside sesh, a mindful smoke near the coast, or just a sea-salt breeze after a long day, remember that the serenity you’re enjoying depends on healthy oceans.


Quick Recap:

  • World Oceans Day celebrates and protects the planet’s most vital ecosystem.
  • This year’s theme urges us to take climate-conscious action for ocean health.
  • Everyone can make a difference—no matter where you live.
  • Sustainability in cannabis culture can help support clean oceans.

World Environment Day

Restore Our Earth, Respect Its Rhythm

World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5th and is the United Nations’ primary platform for raising awareness and action on the most pressing environmental issues of our time. This year’s theme is “Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience” — a call to heal the land, revive ecosystems, and build a more sustainable relationship with nature.

World Environment Day isn’t just about sounding alarms — it’s about planting hope. It reminds us that healing is possible when we act together with urgency, creativity, and care.


Why It Matters

Our environment is not an abstract concept; it’s our home, our lifeline, and our legacy. Yet, human activity has pushed Earth’s natural systems to the brink:

  • Over 75% of the Earth’s land is already degraded in some way.
  • One-third of the world’s arable land has been lost in the last 40 years.
  • 1 in 4 people are already affected by drought, and that number is rising due to climate change.

Healthy land supports life. From food production and clean water to biodiversity and climate balance, restoring our planet’s ecosystems is the key to securing a livable future.


What You Can Do: Small Acts, Big Impact

We all have a role in rebuilding the relationship between people and the planet. Whether you’re living in a city apartment or a rural home, there are practical ways to make a difference:

🌱 Plant Native Trees or Wildflowers
They protect soil, provide habitat, and capture carbon. Even a balcony garden helps pollinators and supports biodiversity.

💧 Conserve Water
Fix leaks, collect rainwater, and choose drought-resistant plants in your garden. Every drop counts.

🍽️ Reduce Food Waste
Wasted food means wasted land, water, and energy. Composting scraps also returns nutrients to the soil.

🚶‍♀️ Rethink Transportation
Walk, bike, or take public transit when possible. Less fuel means cleaner air and lower carbon emissions.

🛍️ Support Regenerative Brands
Choose companies that prioritize sustainability and eco-conscious practices—from clothing to cannabis.


Nature and Cannabis: A Green Connection

The cannabis plant itself is a powerful symbol of regeneration. It grows fast, restores soil, and can be cultivated sustainably with the right practices. Whether used medicinally or recreationally, let cannabis culture remain grounded in respect for the Earth—from seed to sale.

When you light up under the sky, hike through forests, or meditate on a patch of grass, remember: your peace is rooted in the planet’s health.


Quick Recap

  • World Environment Day (June 5th) encourages global action to protect and restore ecosystems.
  • This year’s theme: Land restoration, drought resilience, and healing degraded Earth.
  • We can all make a difference through small, everyday actions.
  • Cannabis culture and climate care can—and should—grow together.

Celebrating World Press Freedom Day: Defending the Right to Free Expression in the Digital Age

Every year on May 3rd, the world comes together to observe World Press Freedom Day—a day dedicated to the principles of press freedom, the protection of journalists, and the promotion of free expression. Declared by the United Nations in 1993, this day is an opportunity to highlight the importance of media freedom in a functioning democracy and to advocate for the protection of journalists worldwide.

As traditional media faces new challenges, the rapid rise of the internet and social media has introduced new frontiers for the protection of free speech. Today, press freedom and freedom of speech on the internet are more intertwined than ever before.

The Importance of Press Freedom

Press freedom is foundational to the democratic process. A free and independent press holds governments accountable, informs the public, and enables citizens to make informed decisions. Journalists uncover truths, expose corruption, and give a voice to marginalized communities. Without a free press, societies are vulnerable to misinformation, censorship, and manipulation.

However, press freedom is under constant threat in many parts of the world. From authoritarian regimes to corporate control over media outlets, journalists face censorship, intimidation, and even violence. According to the Reporters Without Borders (RSF), press freedom has been declining globally for over a decade, and journalists are increasingly at risk of being silenced.

“The press is not free if it is not free to criticize those in power.” — Bill Moyers

The Digital Revolution: A New Era for Freedom of Expression

With the rise of the internet, freedom of speech has transcended traditional media outlets. Social media platforms, blogs, and independent news websites have allowed individuals from around the world to express their thoughts, share ideas, and participate in public discourse. The internet has democratized information, enabling voices that were once unheard to gain visibility and make an impact.

However, the digital age also presents new challenges. While the internet has increased the reach of free expression, it has also introduced complexities surrounding online censorship, misinformation, and the control of information. Governments, tech companies, and powerful interests can manipulate or block online content, infringe on privacy rights, and even shut down platforms that promote free speech.

Challenges to Freedom of Speech on the Internet

  1. Censorship and Surveillance: In some countries, governments use the internet to monitor citizens’ activities, block websites, and control the flow of information. Internet censorship can prevent people from accessing critical information and stifle dissent. In some cases, social media platforms are required to remove content deemed politically sensitive or contrary to state policies.
  2. Misinformation and Disinformation: The spread of false information on the internet has become a growing concern, especially on social media. Misinformation, whether spread deliberately or unintentionally, can have harmful consequences for societies and individuals. It can undermine trust in public institutions, fuel political instability, and damage reputations. Balancing the freedom to share ideas with the need to combat harmful misinformation is a delicate challenge.
  3. Corporate Control of Social Media: Major social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have immense power in shaping the flow of information. While these platforms have made it easier for individuals to speak freely, they also have the ability to restrict content, ban users, and manipulate algorithms. The question arises: how do we protect free speech on these platforms while also ensuring accountability for harmful content?
  4. Online Harassment and Threats: The anonymity provided by the internet can also enable online harassment, hate speech, and threats against journalists and individuals exercising their freedom of expression. Many social media platforms and websites struggle to strike a balance between protecting free speech and addressing harmful content.

The Role of Social Media in Press Freedom

Social media platforms have become the new public squares where people gather to discuss ideas, share news, and participate in debates. They play an essential role in promoting free speech by providing a platform for diverse voices and perspectives. Social media has enabled movements such as the Arab Spring, #MeToo, and Black Lives Matter, empowering individuals to challenge authority and call for social change.

However, social media also comes with a responsibility. Platforms must find ways to combat harmful content, protect users from online abuse, and preserve the integrity of information shared. The role of tech companies in moderating content has become increasingly contentious, as calls for greater transparency, accountability, and fairness in their decision-making processes continue to grow.

Striking a Balance: Free Speech and Responsibility

As we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, it is important to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that the digital age presents for freedom of expression. On one hand, the internet has expanded access to information and allowed people to voice their opinions more freely. On the other hand, it has created new challenges related to censorship, misinformation, and the concentration of power in the hands of tech giants.

To protect press freedom and the right to free speech in the digital world, we must advocate for:

  • Stronger Protections for Journalists: Journalists must be allowed to report freely and without fear of retaliation. This includes ensuring the safety of journalists who work in conflict zones and addressing online harassment.
  • Transparency in Content Moderation: Social media platforms should provide clear and transparent guidelines for content moderation and ensure that their algorithms do not unfairly suppress certain viewpoints.
  • Combating Misinformation: While combating misinformation is essential, it must be done in a way that does not infringe upon free speech. Efforts should focus on promoting media literacy and supporting independent fact-checking organizations.
  • Supporting Digital Rights: We must advocate for the protection of digital rights, including privacy, freedom of expression, and access to information for all individuals, regardless of their country of origin.

Quick Recap

  • World Press Freedom Day highlights the importance of press freedom and the protection of journalists worldwide.
  • The internet and social media have transformed freedom of expression by providing new platforms for speech and information.
  • Challenges to free speech on the internet include censorship, misinformation, corporate control, and online harassment.
  • Advocating for transparency, media literacy, and protections for journalists is crucial to preserving press freedom in the digital age.

Planting Trees, Growing a Greener Future 🌳🌍

Every year on the last Friday of April, we celebrate Arbor Day, a holiday dedicated to the importance of trees and environmental stewardship. This year, Arbor Day 2025 falls on April 25th, providing an opportunity to plant trees, raise awareness about deforestation, and commit to protecting our forests.

Trees are more than just part of the landscape—they are essential for life. They clean our air, provide oxygen, support biodiversity, and combat climate change. This Arbor Day, let’s plant for the future and grow a healthier planet.

The History of Arbor Day

Arbor Day began in Nebraska in 1872, thanks to J. Sterling Morton, a journalist and tree advocate who saw the need for reforestation and conservation. That first Arbor Day saw over a million trees planted, sparking a tradition that has since spread worldwide. Today, countries around the globe observe their own versions of Arbor Day, emphasizing the importance of trees in different ecosystems.

Why Trees Matter More Than Ever

With climate change accelerating and deforestation threatening global ecosystems, planting and protecting trees is more crucial than ever.

🌱 Trees fight climate change – They absorb CO₂ and release oxygen, reducing greenhouse gases.
💧 They protect water sources – Trees filter rainwater, prevent soil erosion, and reduce flooding.
🐦 They provide homes for wildlife – Forests support 80% of the world’s terrestrial species.
🌳 They cool our cities – Trees lower urban temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning.
🌿 They boost mental well-being – Green spaces improve mood, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

How to Celebrate Arbor Day 2025

Whether you plant a tree in your backyard or support global reforestation efforts, there are plenty of ways to honor Arbor Day:

🌳 Plant a Tree – The best way to celebrate is by planting a tree in your yard, school, or community.
🌍 Join a Tree-Planting Event – Many cities host Arbor Day festivals with group planting projects.
♻️ Support Reforestation Organizations – Donate to groups like the Arbor Day Foundation, One Tree Planted, or The Nature Conservancy.
📚 Educate & Advocate – Teach others about deforestation and sustainable forestry.
🏡 Go Green at Home – Reduce paper waste, support sustainable wood products, and care for the trees around you.

Plant Today, Protect Tomorrow

The trees we plant today will provide shade, oxygen, and beauty for generations to come. This Arbor Day, let’s commit to making a difference—one tree at a time. Whether you plant, protect, or simply appreciate trees, your actions help create a greener, healthier world.

🌱 Happy Arbor Day 2025! Let’s grow a better future together. 🌍🌳
