Did you know Mennonite clock-making was a thing? I didn’t, but there’s a temporary display on at the Manitoba Museum and it’s really interesting! Lots of clocks from the 1800s that have travelled from Ukraine to the US/Germany/Paraguay/Canada etc.

Understanding contemporary queer activism – How Manitobans can fight the rise of queer/trans/gender-phobic rhetoric.

Manitoba Museum Auditorium

From around the world, almost every day, there are stories that demonstrate the rise of hate against Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Inclusive communities. Canada has been called one of the safest places for 2SLGBTQ+ folks, but many know how fragile that security is.

The Manitoba Museum, in partnership with Rainbow Resource Centre, is hosting a special Pride Week First Friday event – Queer Activism: Now More Than Ever.

In this panel discussion, Ashley Smith, Director of Advocacy at Rainbow Resource Centre, will be joined by contemporary queer activists and academics to explore how the global rise of an anti-queer rhetoric threatens the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ people even here in Canada, and how the fight against discrimination needs the active support of Manitobans.

Reserve your spot at this free event here.

Panelists: Ashley Smith (he/him), Director of Advocacy, Rainbow Resource Centre; Karen Sharma (she/her), Executive Director, Manitoba Human Rights Council; Brie Villeneuve (they/them), student, University of Winnipeg, Faculty of Science; and Noah Schulz (he/him), Professor/Researcher. You can read more about the panelists here

That is some straight up fuckin' DEVILRY right there.

Mrs. Desmond was fined for defrauding the Federal Government of one cent, the difference in the Amusement tax on an upstairs ticket of two cents and a downstairs ticket of three cents.

Last month, I applied to sell work at the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library (Centre for Craft) museum shop! This was my first time applying as a vendor, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went! The centre accepted eight of my pieces to sell in the shop!

You can find my work under the "Textiles" section, or by searching for "Charlie" :)

Confronting Indian Residential School Confabulation and Media Irresponsibility

Responding to Gerbrandt and Carleton’s “Debunking the Mass Grave Hoax” by Michelle Stirling ©2023 Canada is in the grip of a ‘mass grave/missing children’ psychosis related to Indian Residential Schools.  The ‘shock and awe’ media campaign that accompanied the statements by the Kamloops First Nation in May of 2021 claiming that clandestinely buried children’s bodies or remains had been found in…

My redneck neighbor Doug on 'Into the Breach'

Sorry, been busy with work and life and so has Doug.

Now, let's get onto the next episode, 'Into the Breach'.

CW: Pretty chill, by Doug's standards.

------------------

Episode 13: ''Johnny Cash would be Proud''

Welp, sometimes, you gotta go where you’re wanted. And for Little Orphan Blondie, she’s back at the Museum of Science and Industry, now doing shitty puzzles with the Jedi babies. I really do hope Gun Safety Muppet sat on one of his own guns after that bullshit, hate that blue puppet fucker. 

At least the little pink girl got to keep her souvenir doll from the gift shop that Stepsister Beth . I hope these babies are going around and stealing from the storage. I would. 

Church Lady left these guys in a shitty parking lot. Ha! Time waits for no man and she’s got a potluck with Sassy Park Ranger to prep for. 

Aw hell yeah! My boy Toaster Strudel showing up in a stolen work van. And Daddy Warcrimes and his boyfriend MBA Rob are wondering if there’s yet another sobbing family stuffed in the trunk they can ransom once they cross the border. Never change, you two. 

God MBA Rob looks and TALKS just like my asshole nephew. Ugh. “Do you think I’m lying?” “Yes!” 

Wow, Daddy Warcrimes and Julio ain’t taking no one’s shit. My boys!

Toaster Strudel even went into the Empire’s dumpster and yanked out an imperial uniform and forcing MBA Rob’s scruffy ass into it. Or maybe he hooked up with one and stole his clothes. Didn’t take Toaster Strudel for that but hey I don’t judge, that’s for Jesus and your God to do now ya know. 

(“Wait, that Echo likes dudes?”

“No, that he steals from people he’s banged. Come on now Meat Muffin, why you gotta be prejudiced and stuff, we got laws now, ain’t you seen Brokeback Mountain?”)

Oh, Stepsister Beth is on the struggle bus. Come ON, Stepsister Beth, start chatting with some of those other clones can get these babies out of here! Why all the male scientists got them windowless van mustaches? 

Scientist with bangs is a real bitch. Don’t like her. 

Look at Little Orphan Blondie plotting her way out of the Museum of Science and Industry! 

Oooh my boys going all Johnny Cash with the BLACK! Love it! And MBA Rob trimmed his ass down, looks like My Wife’s First Love in Star Trek, gotta give it to him, good look.

(“I’m assuming that’s Will Riker?”

“Yeah, Captain Picard’s Number 1.”

“Why not call him Riker since you know who he is?”

“My wife told me I’m not allowed.”

“....I’m not asking anymore.”)

MBA Rob’s super power is being a wild asshole. Ya know, that’s not always a bad thing. Man, he’s good at this. Ah, there’s Daddy Rambo shooting Stormtrooper dingbats and Toaster Strudel doing a thing. 

There’s Julio checking out the ladies on his cell phone. Wonder which lady he’s texting, lay that pipe where you can, brother. 

Is Toaster Strudel wearing jeans? Oh who cares–look at my boy kicking ass! Being all 007! Man, hope Alex-from-Manitoba is watching from heaven, proud of his boy! 

(Alex-from-Manitoba is Fives?!)

Julio fires up the stolen work truck, and off they go! Will they make it? Will they make it?! Come on, Daddy Rambo! Turn on some Folsom Prison Blues, you got this! 

Even Daddy Warcrimes knows that Toaster Strudel’s on it. No wonder they gotta sideline Toaster Strudel like this, when he comes on shift everything works. Dang. 

Woah! There they go! My boys! And Little Orphan Blondie! Woah!

Painted faces, flags, signs and posters made up a sea of more than 1,000 people outside the Manitoba Legislature Sunday at the Rally for Trans Youth.  Sunday's event was a peaceful counter-protest, which began with speeches at the legislature, a march down Broadway Street and a rally at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The rally came after hundreds took part in the "1 Million March 4 Children" protest in Winnipeg against LGBTQ-inclusive education and sex ed policies in schools on Wednesday. "It's so important that people come out and support us because it's been going on for generations that we've been fighting for this," said 17-year-old Egan Shier. "And I think that more people need to educate themselves and learn more about the community and who we are."
