what is your personal favorite part about our province

@definitelymanitoba

Whew. What do I like the most about Manitoba? Maybe the feeling of community! Maybe the land! Maybe the vibe?

I lived in the south during my youth! (God I'm Old, that feels weird to say) Rural, not in Winnipeg. I didn't really appreciate how beautiful and safe that community was until I moved North as an adult. I really took it for granted and wanted to move out of Manitoba.

(This inukshuk is in Churchill and was made by a cooky old guy I'm friends with on FB. His posts are so funny.)

But my family is from Churchill, and I wanted to both experience it and get like. A job. Lmao. A career.

So I did that but also I discovered I really love this place. I love the trees and the way things look and feel. I love the ravens who beg for food. I love that the people here really try to help each other. Because there are people here who aren't interested in making things better for anyone, but there's way more people here, vocal people who organize and are welcoming, that do.

I'm very happy to have Wab Kinew as our Premier! I love how easy it is to get trans healthcare here. I don't feel afraid rn that my rights are in jeopardy. And I helped us get there by voting and doing community stuff to make things safer. Of course, there are always nay sayers, but the majority is super accepting. And willing to fight for it!

It's hard to explain the vibe of Manitoba to people who have never been here. Sometimes, it feels pretty desolate. But other times, if you're in the right place, with the right people, there's nowhere else you'd rather be.

There's a song on The Tragically Hip's album Phantom Power about a girl and it's a pretty good song but I think it also suits our vibe, don't you think?

Thompson Girl, I'm stranded at the Unique Motel

Thompson Girl, winter fighter's shot on the car as well

Looks like Christmas at 55 degrees

This latitude weakens my knees, Thompson Girl

Grunt work somewhere between dream and duty

Poking through with all them shoots of beauty

Thompson Girl walking from Churchill

Across the icy world with polar bears, it's mostly uphill

But when she saw that nickel stack

She whistled hard and I whistled back, Thompson Girl

Grunt work, time between dream state and duty

Poking through with all them shoots of beauty

Grunt work somewhere between dreams and duty

Poking through with all them shoots of beauty

Thompson Girl, we're down to the dead houseplants

Thompson Girl, we've jettisoned every thing we can

She says springtime's coming

Wait til you see

It poking through with them shoots of beauty

It's the end of rent-a-movie weather

It's time to end this siege together, Thompson Girl

We're having a super fun time in Alberta right now. The UCP has released some very concerning anti-trans legislature that if passed could come into effect next year and seriously harm trans and gender diverse youth in particular.

Missouri understands my extreme need to stay in a space themed room in some kind of hotel. I NEED it.

I need someone to beef with, I crave overly dramatic relationships built on mutual hatred

Trahison! Betrayal! In Quebec!

I love hills!!! It's like a rollercoaster in your car! :3c

And oh lord what kind of whales.... 😱

@northern-manitoba, @definitelymanitoba

I’m betraying Manitoba right now, I’m in Quebec. Their roads are so smooth, but WAY TOO MANY HILLS. I also saw whales

Canada's residential school villain arc made me into the villain I am today. This is a fact.

the gimmick blogs are like tumblr’s rogue gallery. yes we’ve got some heroes, yes we’ve got some villains, but more importantly if you look over here you will see some freak who devotes all their time to counting the number of “t’s” in a post
