#Minneapolis pride 2024

[martianprincess01]

Behold the queer diet. Wavy chips, diced tomatoes, toasted oats cereal, black beans, and frozen pizza.

[theweirdwideweb]

Here in Minneapolis the 3rd precinct police station we burned up during the George Floyd riots is still sitting there scorched with concrete barriers & barbed wire. They had a sign up that said like "Clean Up Begins 2024 ☺️🕊️🙏🏻" but it's still untouched, like a holy or cursed place. Part of the landscape. I pass it almost every day. It's an enormous source of pride for our community.

"The idea of Communist revolution is probably a largely western trend these days among our young folk, surely the support for it in somewhere like Japan is even less than with u-"

...

Actually...looks like we have some catching up to do...

(I usually don't get too political but on that note, consider the RCI if you wanna support an actually solid Marxist movement for good change ❤️ I'll be helping them with a booth at Minneapolis pride this year!)

LOCAL HISTORY EXHIBIT

Then and Now: A Look at Local LGBTQ+ History and Our Community Today

LGBTQ+* communities in Hennepin County have gravitated to spaces of camaraderie, organizing, and community since the early 20th century. As the built environment of the Twin Cities has changed due to economic and social factors, so have those spaces. But the need for connection and support within the LGBTQ+ community—for mental and physical health, legislative activism, personal expression, and relationship building—has never dissipated. As non-profit LGBTQ+ organizations have folded, new ones have emerged with equal passion and purpose, and what was once a network of in-person support has expanded greatly through online channels. This exhibit looks at the places, organizations, events, laws, and people who have shaped our vibrant local LGBTQ+ community today.

*LGTBQIA2S+ is an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, and the countless affirmative ways in which people choose to self-identify. This exhibit uses a shortened form (LGBTQ+).

View the exhibit in its entirety at Edina Library and Northeast Library from June 2023 through mid-July 2023. The exhibit will travel throughout the library system through 2024.

This exhibit was created in partnership between Hennepin County Library Special Collections and the Library’s Pride Workgroup. It is supported with money from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

All images and photographs, unless otherwise noted, are from the Special Collections at the Minneapolis Central Library. View more local photos in the HCL Digital Collections https://digitalcollections.hclib.org/

Pride Ink 2024 Day 4 Prompt: History

Today I wanted to highlight the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, posting photos I took of his works I was able to see in person several years ago in Chicago and in Minneapolis. Felix Gonzalez-Torres was a gay man and many of his works are about his partner Ross Laycock. His sculptures often explore themes of life, loss and time. Info about both artworks in the comments.

Mary Jo Shields

Mary Jo Shields, 70, of South Pasadena, FL and Forty Fort, PA, passed  away on October 12, 2024 while traveling in Italy. Mary Jo was born on September 16, 1954 to the late Joseph and Mary Stiles.  She was born and raised in Luzerne and attended Central Catholic High School in Kingston, PA and was a graduate of College Misericordia, Dallas, PA, as well as the Evelyn Wood School of Speed Reading.  Prior to her retirement from the Wyoming Valley School District, she was a teacher and chair of the science department at the Wyoming Valley West Middle School.  She also taught in several elementary schools in the district early in her career.   

Mary Jo enjoyed life to the fullest.  Her sense of humor was renowned.  An avid sports fan, Mary Jo could be found cheering on her favorite teams: Notre Dame Football; Syracuse Basketball; and the Philadelphia Phillies. As the last surviving member of her immediate family, she was affectionately referred to as “The Matriarch.”  She embraced her Irish heritage and was the hostess to the yearly “Jig’s Dinner” on St. Patrick’s Day.  She loved St. Pete’s Beach, Florida but home was always the Wyoming Valley. Her greatest achievement was her sons. Her love, support, and pride knew no bounds.

Mary Jo was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Mary Stiles; sisters, Peggy Urbanovitch and Sally Disano; and nephew, Glenn Urbanovitch. 

She is survived by her loving husband Joe, who would have celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary on November 5; her son Attorney Joseph Shields and his wife Laura of Forty Fort, PA; and Michael Shields of Minneapolis, MN and his partner Teresa Pfab and their dog Ted Lasso, who Mary Jo loved; nieces, Laurene Urbanovitch, Lisa Stull, and nephew James Urbanovitch.  Several great nieces and nephews and a great, great niece.  Mary Jo was a blessing and blessed by wonderful friends, too many to count.   

The funeral will begin at the Hugh B. Hughes Funeral Home at 9 a.m. on November 4, 2024, with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at St. Ignatius of Loyola Church, Kingston PA at 10 a.m.  Friends may call at Hugh B. Hughes Funeral Home on November 3, 2024, from 2 to 5 p.m. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Feeding Tampa Bay Disaster Relief at https://feedingtampabay.org or to the Catherine McAuley House, 430 Pittston Avenue, Scranton PA.   

The family would like to extend their thanks to Emanuele Caligiuri of La Pavese Funeral Home in Rome, Italy and the staff of the Hotel American Palace, and EUR of Rome for their care and compassion.

Catch their electrifying performances at the Brighton Psych Fest on August 30 and the Manchester Psych Fest on August 31. Don’t miss this chance to witness a musical revolution that’s captivating audiences everywhere! THIS WEEKEND: Billboard Chart Topping Bluegrass-Meets-Hip-Hop Phenomenon Gangstagrass To Play Two Rare UK Festival Shows! Listen 'The Blackest Thing on the Menu' Fearless, unapologetic and a brilliant lyricist, that's just a few words I can use to describe Blackest Thing on the Menu. The entire album is a work of art in the making as these guys are telling the story of their lives and not holding anything back. Compelling stuff https://open.spotify.com/album/0QSJf6HZhBk5AO5aaMIh62?si=Tc2BW9mhSh2KmFR4R4xUuA Watch 'Mother' To hear this you wouldn't think much to it but listen again, and much more closely, Gangstagrass is bringing a social issue street violence and death to the fore. Their fearlessness is something I admire  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaHQ7ormX78&pp=ygUTZ2FuZ3N0YWdyYXNzIG1vdGhlcg Watch 'Good at Being Bad' For someone who grew up listening to 90's music this definitely takes me back, and I actually enjoy it. For me, it's the pride and cheekiness that does it for me as he's saying 'this is me, here's what I like' and he keeps it decent  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Scju9Q6pz4 DEAD CHIC serve-up an epic romp through a vast, barren, wild landscape with new single "Paris"! And served up and epic romp he certainly has. Not only has Dead Chic reminiscence over a past romance which is dead and long gone but he has also gone full Wild West at the same time. I enjoy how he uses the elements of the lyrics, the music, the beats and tones, even his husky voice to set up the mood.  Listen  https://open.spotify.com/track/2wTlnBBIaESfTTjhW2ExUI?si=d7100a5de9404c55 Watch https://youtu.be/WFH36iNSeLU?si=Fn5R8cY45DMet_MS Geordie Greep (of black midi) Announces Debut Solo Album “The New Sound” Release Date: Oct 4th, 2024  I have never heard of this guy before yet am interested in him and his music, even his voice is strong and rich. Geordie is a Frank Sintara and Chris Cornell for the TikTok generation. The lyrics are compelling, even a little bit risqué but it's down to what rocks your boat.  Watch ‘Holy, Holy’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4EU_0vFzuU Worldwide Tour Dates Announced - Wed-Aug-21 – Map Studios, London – (Sold Out) - Fri-Aug-23 - Map Studios, London – (Sold Out) - Fri-Aug-30 - Brighton Psych Fest @ Concorde 2, Brighton - Sat-Aug-31 - Manchester Psych Fest @ Gorilla, Manchester - Tue-Sep-10 - Brooklyn,NY Union Pool (Sold Out) - Wed-Sep-11 - New York,NY Nublu - Thu-Sep-12 - Brooklyn,NY TV Eye - Fri-Sep-13 - Brooklyn,NY Sultan Room - Thu-Sept-19 - Reeperbahn Festival @ Knust, Hamburg - Thur-Oct-10 - Llais Festival @ WMC (w/ Squid), Cardiff - Sat-Oct-19 - Isolation Festival, Budapest - Tue-Oct-22 - Fleece, Bristol - Wed-Oct-23 - The Cornish Bank, Falmouth - Fri-Oct-25 - Storey's Field Centre, Cambridge - Sat-Oct-26 - Arts Club, Liverpool - Sun-Oct-27 - Classic Grand, Glasgow - Mon-Oct-28 - The Cluny, Newcastle - Tue-Oct-29 - Brudenell Social Club, Leeds - Wed-Oct-30 - Rescue Rooms, Nottingham - Fri-Nov-01 - Les Nuits Botanique Weekender @ Orangerie, Brussels - Sat-Nov-09 - Pitchfork Festival @ EartH, London - Tue-Dec-03 - Point Ephemere, Paris - Thu-Dec-05 - Lido, Berlin - Fri-Dec-06 - Bitterzoet, Amsterdam - Sat-Dec-07 - Doornroosje, Nijmegen - Mon-Dec-09 - Magnolia, Milan - Tue-Dec-10 - Bad Bonn, Düdingen - Fri-Jan-17 - Philadelphia, PA Johnny Brenda's - Sat-Jan-18 - Baltimore, MD Ottobar - Sun-Jan-19 - Raleigh, NC Kings - Tue-Jan-21 - Asheville, NC Eulogy - Wed-Jan-22 - Atlanta, GA The Earl - Fri-Jan-24 - Nashville, TN The Blue Room - Sat-Jan-25 - St Louis, MO Off Broadway - Mon-Jan-27 - Minneapolis, MN 7th St. Entry - Tue-Jan-28 - Madison, WI High Noon Saloon  - Fri-Jan-31 - Chicago, IL The Empty Bottle - Sat-Feb-01 - Kalamazoo, MI Bell's Eccentric Cafe - Mon-Feb-03 - Toronto, ON Velvet Underground - Wed-Feb-05 - Montreal, QC Bar Le Ritz - Thu-Feb-06 - Brattleboro, VT The Stone Church - Fri-Feb-07 - Boston, MA Brighton Music Hall  Instagram X (formerly Twitter) Django Django - Default  Originally released back in 2012 and did make its presence felt in the charts for, sadly it didn't stick around.

Friday, June 28, 2024

Sluggish start to the day. Gloomy outside. Didn't watch the presidential debate last night but spent some time this morning going over the analysis. Dale came home a little early from work and we sat and processed our deep seated and ongoing burnout from our work lives. We're realizing this is gonna be a long haul. I'm two week in to my summer break and I'm not as far along in my recovery form the previous year as I usually am. The bright side for both of is that it confirms we're truly ready to move on with big life changes over the next year. The unfamiliar is a bit daunting but it is time to finish writing this chapter of our lives and move on to the next.

It's Pride Weekend here in Minneapolis. Warren and I went to the patio party/happy hour at the Eagle tonight. Dale joined us for dinner back at Warren's place.
