#Gastown Medicinal

[kalihaze604]

Tuesday, January 16th, 2024. This mango, dragonfruit, tangerine, and watermelon fruit salad felt like eating a bowl of sunshine! I heard this song earlier for the first time and loved it, it felt like it had the same uplifting and energizing sunshine vibe as the fruit salad did. Fruit salad with chia, flax, and hemp seeds is my favourite summer breakfast. Yes, it’s the middle of the fucking winter and this was my dinner, I did write January at the top of this paragraph, not June or July, but as a Leo, summer is my favourite time of year and yeah I fucking miss it?! I was so damn lucky this summer and got to enjoy so much fresh fruit that was both high quality and low cost thanks to a local shop that seemed to have taken an “anti-price gouging” approach as a response to many larger western chain stores significantly increasing the cost of groceries. I am always shocked with how low the prices are and how the produce is still great quality. So damn grateful for the non-western grocery shops that seem to have taken this opposite approach. I got the fruit at t+t and it seems like their produce selection is huge and only speciality items are higher priced? Idk why but my grocery bill is always like $37 every single time there- I guess that’s what fills up my reusable bag I usually bring. I really like trying different random exotic fruits from the Chinatown grocery shops. I’ve always loved trying new food and I’m forever grateful for K and his family for introducing me to so many different types of delicious Asian food when I first moved to the city.

This year I’m trying to learn more about the history of the land that I live on, which is the general area of Strathcona, Chinatown, DTES, Gastown, and Railtown. Last year I was fascinated with looking at old maps of what this area used to look like before settlers arrived, and throughout the last hundred years as everything changed. Last fall I was learning about the Indigenous names for the areas that I live, work and play and learning about how the local area where traditional medicines were harvested was turned into a city dump, then later restored and turned into organic community gardens. I’m gonna have to save that topic for a longer blog post cuz it’s super fascinating and I feel like I’m still just barely even scratching the surface. My current hyperfixation and special interest: learning about Chinatown, the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year, Chinese astrology, the Tong Shing, Feng Shui, and face reading. Did you know that Pender street used to be called DuPont Street and was one of the first red light districts in Canada? I think I just might have spent a past life working in the brothels there and frequenting the Opium dens, I know I’ve came back to this land to reincarnate in many past lives. yesterday, after writing that blog post and applying sunscreen (like I said I would), I went out for a walk in Chinatown down Pender street. I looked around Bamboo Village near Pender and Main and looked at the super vast selection of plants, decorations, and their whole wall of vintage and antique items from China. It’s easy to lose track of time here because there is just so much to look at. The antiques are fascinating! It’s like a jungle of plants growing in humid warm air, a history museum and a store all in one. I spent $4 on a pretty pink bowl and left to continue walking west on Pender. I was thinking I kinda wanted to go sit in Dr Sun Yat Sen Gardens and chill for a bit, but when I got there, a film crew had rented out the gardens for filming some dramatic scene so I decided to come back another day and go get some lunch and groceries instead. I had walked past so many cool little shops on Pender, and so many of them that I had never even been inside or explored what they had to offer. Or if I had, it had been a long time since. Honestly I feel it’s about damn time that I open my eyes and start viewing the world in a fresh way instead of just feeling like I have no time to look around and be curious instead of hyper focused on getting shit done and making money. I have all the time in the world now that I’m not doomscrolling anymore. I grabbed some groceries and got on the bus going home. The sky was this absolutely beautiful pink/purple/blue sunset and I got off a stop early because I wanted to witness it’s beauty all around me instead of just through the window. I thought to myself- THIS is why I’m so damn glad I left the house today and didn’t waste the day in bed staring at my phone aimlessly.

Today was a chill day as it’s the day before welfare and typically I’ll usually take this week off to focus on catching up on rest and housework. I spent a couple hours learning online, made some fruit salad, and chatted with some friends. I’m feeling so much better mentally and physically already! I feel happy and excited about life most of the time instead of sad, now. I feel like I want to get better at writing in more of an organized way? I feel like I’m jumping from topic to topic randomly and not sure how it all flows but I’m sure I’ll figure it out as I go along with more practice writing. I’ll probably end up writing and publishing a memoir at some point in my life and this is just practice.

Furiosa has always been terrible at dying. She never planned on living to see the Citadel again, let alone finding herself the defacto ruler. Sure, the girls are helping where they can, but the Citadel just isn’t ready for them. Even worse, with her injuries slowing her down, Furiosa’s past finally catches up to her.

Cheedo knows she came back different, but that doesn’t mean she knows who this new person is.

Maybe if Capable buries herself in her new work, she can bury her grief as well.

Meanwhile, Max resumes his wandering with old and new ghosts in tow.

Updated: New Max chapter because we didn’t honestly think he could stay out of trouble in Gastown, did we?

This Summer months of June July and August. We are having an Exhibition series geared toward Black and Indigenous creatives who practice spiritual medicine.

The Exhibition series will take place in a window space known as the  Cheeky Proletariat  320 Carrall st. (The Cheeky Proletariat website is down right now, instead I will give you a brief rundown of its history).The space is Black owned by Anthonia Agundele, who also runs Ethos Lab. Since the alternative space has been open, it has become energetically charged with the centering of art around revolution and Black empowerment. Nya Lewis Williams who ran the space in the past for Anthonia, left behind a huge legacy known as Black Art Gastown . As Black Arts Vancouver, we are now running the space in partnership with the Cheeky, looking to continue that legacy. Black Arts Vancouver's  mission in centering Black, Brown and Indigenous Artists and youth in and around Vancouver, we want to utilize the space for artists and creatives alike who have been at the forefront of this revolution. This comes in many forms and ultimately is Spiritual Healing. Even though our communities are far from being healed and we may not see it in our lifetime, this notion does not stop us from doing our work.

any recommendations for tattoo shops in the Vancouver area?

Gastown tattoo is by far the most talented group of artists i've seen so far! Black Medicine is also a great place for unique styles of tattoos (the artists all have a signature style)aaand there are a lot of great independent artists like kshocs and graememaundertattoo and nessaaa! 💗

[nataliedormered]

so i've basically just felt like collecting the stories about all of my shoes that i keep in my mind, in my blog instead. i think of my shoe collection on kind of the same level i think about my book collection: something full of stories, experiences, emotions, and beauty.

i know for a lot of people shoes are simply practical, they get you to from point a to b without stepping on a rock. i know people who only have two pairs of shoes. if you like this, i'm probably going to do more of these so stay tuned, if you don't that's okay this obviously feeds a very particular kind of interest.

full disclosure: while i own some fairly expensive or difficult to acquire brands of shoes, i'm not doing this to show off my "wealth" or lack of. nearly all were bought on sale or passed down to me. i am a generally savvy sale shopper with a lot more luck than $$$

So this shoe story:

This shoe stories begins with the tale of another pair of shoes. I had a pair of black oxfords (i believe from nine west - perhaps spring? - but definitely no more than $20), with about half an inch of a heel that I had from 2013-2015. I loved those shoes. I wore them nearly everywhere from spring to fall (and through a single vancouver winter) two years in a row. if you know anything about nine west or spring shoes you are already seeing the problem.

by the beginning of summer 2015 they were utterly destroyed. but i loved them so much. they were so worn and flexible they were practically jazz shoes, a favourite for rehearsals that weren't character shoes.

but alas it had to end. my mother, tired of seeing her daughter wander around with holes in the soles of her dirty, smelling, half destroyed shoes, made me throw them out. however this was not terribly cruel. she did not rip them from my hands as i wept, it was a reluctant but understanding goodbye. you can wear your shoes until your toes are poking out the ends but you will at some point have to let them go.

she did promise me one thing though, and that is that she would replace them. which is a fair promise if you throw out your teenage/near adult daughters favourite pair of shoes. so after a long drawn out search that always reached the conclusion of not quite right, these shoes finally came into my life.

while visiting vancouver in the fall of 2015, my family went shopping through gastown and found this John Fluevog workshop and fell in love with so many pairs of shoes there. i believe my mother bought both herself and my shoes from there, although i cannot remember what she bought for sure. she justified the shoes for me because they replaced the ones she had thrown out (and i would stop whining about it.) these are probably the most expensive shoes (money paid wise not original price) that i own at $235ish. but my mother paid so counts as free in my bank account

now these are obviously not black supple oxfords, but they are so gorgeous in their own particular way. first of all they are so beautifully made, the leather is so beautiful. i thought about cleaning them to show off their truest, cleanest beauty, but i think that defeats the point of showing off how i love my shoes. the soles aren't plastic, but rubber. and damn, do i have a thing for designs in the grips of a shoe, it's such a wonderfully understated way of doing something so unique to show off the craftsmanship in the shoe.

this is where the story goes downhill. i don't pack a lot on vacations that i intend to shop on because how else am i suppose to get it all back? (my mother and i do have a bit of a bad track record for shipping special books found at local booksellers back home in order to avoid going over the weight limit) so of course i'm going to wear what i've bought. so the next day i wore these new beautiful pair of shoes all. day. long. that day we happened to be going to the vancouver aquarium, which is in the middle of a park. so i walked down the street from our hotel to catch a bus, walked through a park, walked through the aquarium, and all of that in reverse back. those who know about stiff leather shoes already know the problem.

to be completely honest, the aftermath probably wouldn't have been quite so bad had i not have worn socks with broken elastic around the ankle. the long and the short of it is that i got two very big blisters on the insides of both my feet around my heel. i didn’t want to draw attention to my idiotic mistake so i just ran out to buy bandaids the next morning and wore my doc martins very loose for the next few days.

things in general were pretty as normal for a few days after returning from my trip. i put bandaids on the holes in my feet and kind of forgot about them. they were still uncomfortable, and now i couldn’t wear my fancy new solemates (shoes - soles - get it?), but i just kind of left them? which was a terrible mistake

the long and the short of it is one of those giant holes in my feet got a staph infection. i figured this out when one day it hurt way too much to put shoes on or even touch and later that night i took off the bandaid to see a kind of puss/blood swollen mess about half an inch protruding from my foot. it looked like the inside of a muscle. it haunts me to this day. so i went to emergency because at this point i can barely walk and it’s like 10pm. I wait until like 2am to see a doctor and get a prescription for an antibiotic cause ya it’s probably a staph infection because staph lives on our body all the time and i just gave them such an opportunity to slide in my wounds.

complete side bar but - Radiolab did a super interesting show about this viking cure for staph which weirdly aired at the same moment i was suffering with this staph infection so i will never forget it http://www.radiolab.org/story/best-medicine/

now this obviously causes general disruption in my life: including but not limited almost getting fired from my job because no one will take my shifts even though i can’t walk, rescheduling a shitty group project presentation, and not being able to wear shoes for three days. cool right?

now you are probably thinking this is a pretty long and kind of wild story about a pair of shoes, right? are you glad it’s over now? well wait a minute. i’m not done. things happen in three don’t you know?

i turn out to be allergic to the antibiotic that they gave me, i get some really cool, itchy rashes on my hands and am told to stop taking them immediately and then just pray that the staph infection gets better or get an iv antibiotic. now as a good theatre kid i knew things come in three’s and thought the third thing was definitely going to be me having to get hooked up to an iv for two weeks.

it was not that, it instead was my dad having a (mini) stroke (there is a word for it i forget, but it is all good and fine and he is alive and well) so it was a pretty generally terrible time of life, that all began with the suffering these beautiful devil shoes rendered unto me

and to be completely honest it took me a long time to get over it and wear them again. in my defence it was winter and i live in a very snowy winter city so i couldn’t have worn them until spring anyway. over the last year and a half i’ve been wearing them a little at a time, wearing them in, molding them to my feet. soon they’ll be perfect. they’ll give me no more trouble. the picture above with the girl with the pearl earring socks is from last week.

life goes on, shoes get easier to wear, holes in your feet heal with no scarring, your father gets better, you can now list the antibiotics you can no longer take, and you learn what it means to suffer. and that’s just life

Furiosa has always been terrible at dying. She never planned on living to see the Citadel again, let alone finding herself the defacto ruler. Sure, the girls are helping where they can, but the Citadel just isn't ready for them. Even worse, with her injuries slowing her down, Furiosa's past finally catches up to her.

Cheedo knows she came back different, but that doesn't mean she knows who this new person is.

Maybe if Capable buries herself in her new work, she can bury her grief as well.

Meanwhile, Max resumes his wandering with old and new ghosts in tow.

New chapter: Today we're going to Gastown

[johannage-blog1]

Die Familie ist fast wieder vereint

Der große Tag ist gekommen: meine Liebsten kommen nach Vancouver und wir vier werden in den nächsten drei Wochen mit dem Wohnmobil den Westen Kanadas entdecken. Doch zuerst stand das große Wiedersehen an. Das Gefühl seine Familie nach 5 Monaten wieder in die Arme schließen zu können ist so überwältigend und unbeschreiblich! Man fühlt sich einfach wieder komplett und geborgen. Schade, dass nicht Simon mitkommen konnte... Nach der Wiedervereinigung konnte unser gemeinsames Kanada Abenteuer starten! Die ersten vier Tage verbrachten wir im wunderschönen Vancouver, nicht umsonst eine der schönsten Städte der Welt! Am ersten Tag haben wir die Stadt zu Fuß erkundigt und die Highlights besichtigt: Chinatown, Gastown (der älteste Stadtteil), Downtown mit den riesigen Wolkenkratzern und Shoppingzentren, Granvilleisland (eine Halbinsel im Hafen- und Fischerstil mit wunderschönen Läden und riesigen Märkten), Hafenfront etc. Schon einiges für den ersten Tag in Kanada, aber Vancouver hat auch sehr viel zu bieten. Am nächsten Tag ging es dann mit den Citybikes durch Vancouver in Richtung Stanley Park. Der zweitgrößte Stadtpark Nordamerikas ist nicht umsonst so beliebt und bekannt: seine einzigartige Lage am Pacifik verleiht dem Park einen tollen Flair mit Meerblick. Mit dem Radl ist es am besten den riesigen Park zu erkunden und all seine Sehenswürdigkeiten zu bestaunen wie zum Beispiel die totem Pfähle der Indianer, die verborgenen und verlassenen Seen, die Aussichtspunkte, die vielzähligen Strände und natürlich den Regenwald artigen Wald. Dieser Park ist eine himmlische Oase mitten in der Stadt Vancouvers! Unseren letzten Tag in der Stadt verbrachten wir im naheliegenden "Lynn Canyon". Hier kann man über eine Hängebrücke eine tiefe Schlucht überqueren, Wasserfälle bestauenen, von Klippen in das eiskalte Gletscherwasser springen und ganz viel wandern. Auch dieser Tag war sehr aufregend, aber auch anstrengend. Schließlich mussten wir uns auf unser großes Campingabenteuer vorbereiten, denn am nächsten Tag sollte es losgehen. Wir alle vier waren blutige Campinganfänger und ich glaube auch, dass wir uns alle nicht genau vorstellen konnten wie es wohl die nächsten zweieinhalb Wochen wird auf engsten Raum zu wohnen und durch Kanada zu reisen.
