TRANS DAY OF REMEMBRANCE 2024

Don't have the spoons to make a spiel about how solidarity in and out of the community is important, but wanting to highlight that as is. We need to speak out and show up for those who fight alongside us, and for those we've lost*.

*Remember: Any concrete numbers you see statistics wise are not 100% accurate. The violence against us, especially our BIPOC siblings, are majorly under-reported.

Here are some organizations and resources to share around, with attributions and pronouns (as of writing the post). I'll section this off based on what type of resource/org they are... more or less--

Archival.

2600 Pages of Hate: Transphobia and Fascism by maia crimew (It/She)

Black Trans* Oral History Project by Blu Bachanan (They/Them) and Naomi Simmons-Thorne (She/They)

Digital Transgender Archive by K.J. Rawson (He/Him) et al.

LGBT+ Intersectionality, a Google Drive full of Resource Books

The Mirror Memoirs by Amita Swadhin (They/Them), Jaden Cervantes-Fields (He/Him), and Bilen Berhanu (She/Her)

NYC Trans* Oral History Project

The Trans* Library (Carrd)

University of Victoria Transgender Archives (Canada)

Varied.

Baltimore Safe Haven, established by Iya Dammons (She/They).

Bklyn Boihood, established by Black masculine-of-center queer and trans people of color.

Black Trans Femmes in the Arts, established by Jordyn Jay (She/Her)

Black Trans* Travel Fund, established by Devin Michael Lowe (He/They) and Morticia Godiva (Her/Shey)

Brave Space Alliance, established by trans and gender non-conforming individuals.

FedUp Collective, established by Zain Lugay (They/He), Sam (They/Them), Cody (He/Him), Ian (He/Him), JO Walduck (She/They), et al.

For the Gworls, established by Asanni Armon (They/Them; Sources Vary)

The Gender Affirming Letter Access Project, established by transgender, nonbinary, and allied mental health and medical providers.

"The Gender Binary" is a Misnomer; Gender Has Always Been a Hierarchy by Talia Bhatt (She/Fae)

Privilege, Power, and Pride: Intersectionality within the LGBT Community by Kittu Pannu (He/Him)

The Okra Project, established by Gabrielle Inès Souza, Max Rigano, and Celyna Jackson (Pronouns Unknown).

Organización Latina Trans in Texas, , established by Anandrea Molina (Ella/She, Rigoberto Reyes/Monika Adams (Él/Ella/She/He), Gia Pacheco (She/Ella), Danny Lopez (Él/He), Noemi Garza, Barby Ledesma, Vanessa Garcia, and Kassandra Rivas (Pronouns Unknown).

Princess Janae Place, established by Jevon Martin (He/Him) and Dani Farrell (He/They).

The Transgender Education Network of Texas, established by various BIPOC trans community members.

Trans*, Gender Variant, and Intersex Justice Project, established by Janetta Johnson (She/Her), zy'aire nassirah (He/Him), zen "zee" mills (She/Her), van dell (They/Them), Valentine McClain (They/She), eli b. (They/He), et al.

TransgenderNI (Northern Ireland) / Belfast Trans Resource Centre, established by trans community members.

TransInclusiveGroup, established by Tatiana Williams (She/Her/Goddess), Krys Gordon (She/Her), Adrianna Tender (She/Her/Diva), Mei-Lan Diaz (They/Them), and Na'stacia Buchanan (She/Her).

Trans Latin@ Coalition, established by Paolo Coots (She/Her/Ella), Arianna Inurritegui-Lint (She/Her/Ella), Alexa Rodriguez (She/Her/Ella), et al.

Trans* Needle Exchange, established by Oliver (Pronouns Unknown).

And remember, community is what keeps us alive.

It is important to call out bigotry in our spaces; important to let those here know we value them and their existence. Do not solely fight for those who are gone, fight for those who are living with us here and now.

Let the folks in your lives and in your communities know you care about them. Listen to them. Learn from them. None of us are free until all of us are free.

Which is why I'm also going to drop broader-focus organizations and resources for the global community:

alQaws for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society

Canadian LGBTQ+ History

India's LGBTQ+ Movement

LGBTQ+: A Troubled History in Mexico

LGBTQ+ Orthodox Jewish Education (PDF)

LGBTQ+ Narratives in Pakistan

LGBTQ+ Rights Ghana Support Fund

Nigeria's Queer History

Queer Activism in Africa

Queer Nigerian Emergency Fund

Feel free to add onto this (preferably with more grassroots kinda stuff/individual spotlights; anything goes long as it's vetted really).

Old-Time Radio/streaming radio drama recslist, with especial reference to horror

Somebody asked for recs for places to stream radio shows and otherwise listen to radio drama, but I can't find where they replied to me, so I'm just gonna do this here. This is far from an exhaustive list of sources or even a recs guide for specific episodes. but I find OTR (and less-old-timey radio drama) a great accompaniment to crafty tasks like sewing or doing art.

I would also be remiss not to mention Nitrate Diva, whose seasonal horror radio round-ups got me into that particular corner of the listening world. If you're looking for ideas of what to listen to, her guides are great -- not all mystery or thriller podcasts ran primarily-horror or supernatural content for most or even much of their programming time but she's cherry picked some amazing starting places.

Old Time Radio Downloads - does what it says on the tin, and should be streamable in your browser as well as downloadable. Hosts a wide spread of genres and some international programming, with episode information and more details than a lot of places. No search function that I can see, however, wtf.

Old Time Radio Researchers - volunteer org with an immense catalog of OTR programs available for free streaming, hosted by the Jim Beshires Memorial Episode Library,with 90,000+ episodes. Beyond their killer streaming archive they host OTTRPedia (with a great list of books their info is sourced from) and some episode scripts.

OTRCat - show catalogue and purchasing library for old-time radio shows on physical media like CD

Archive.org's Old Time Radio showcase

M.R. James On TV, Radio, and Film - not hosting but just a guide to various radio adaptations of M.R. James' stories between 1951 and 2010.

For specific program recs beyond NitrateDiva's above/"everything with Vincent Price in it, especially Fugue In C Minor",:

The Black Museum -- Orson Welles telling you weird stories about murder weapons from the Scotland Yard Black Museum. Sort of proto-true crime podcasting.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater - my parents, both big mystery and SF enjoyers, remember this from the 1970s and from later reruns! (And it tickled them both intensely that it appears in the Spielberg film Super 8.) Includes episode guide and ratings for all 1300+ episodes, and a great index of which programs are adaptations of other existing fiction, whether an ostensible adaptation of "Casting The Runes" as "These Will Kill You" or Plutarch's account of the murder of Julius Caesar.

CBC Radio Mystery Theater was apparently a thing out of Canada -- Leslie McMurtry has an amazing paper, "Sounds Like Murder: Early 1980s Gothic on North American Radio", about the history of gothic and/or horror programming in radio drama and the way CBC's program Nightfall reflected contemporary anxieties and committed to nihilistic uniquely-Canadian Gothic.

Many of these shows, including Nightfall and The Black Museum, are also streamable via Apple Podcasts. Not my preferred way to listen but also one of the ways I was introduced!

I enjoy modern narrative horror fiction podcasts and I'd love any resources anyone has about how to learn more about, or where to browse, other radio drama with horror themes. The BBC has done a number of great horror programs, as has Big Finish's kickass collection of shows, but I'm not sure the best way to go about digging into those.

Mrs. Duval threading needle [William Duval's wife, Aulaqiaq. Although blind, she was still able to thread the needle and sew.]

Pangnirtung, Northwest Territories (Current day Nunavut), 1946 Library and Archives, Government of Canada. Archives/Collections and Fonds - Item ID #3192235 (x)

Aulaqiaq was the second wife of German-born American whaler, William Duval. Duval had his first whaling expedition to Arctic Canada in 1879, leaving back to the United States in 1883, and finally permanently returning to the north in 1884. William integrated well into Inuit society, as he became fluent in Inuktitut and was given the name of Sivutiksaq (which translates as harpooner).

Aulaqiaq and William had four children, two of whom survived childhood (daughters Towkie and Alookie, born around 1900 and 1902, respectively). Aulaqiaq and William still have many descendants in Baffin Island region of Nunavut currently.

Unfortunately, I could not find much information on Aulaqiaq herself, aside from her marriage to William Duval, and the children they had together.

[historia-vitae-magistras]

This is a little different from your usual content. But you have so much niche information that just I love to hear about. Do you have any podcast recommendations?

WHOO okay so I'm doing my nonfiction podcast recs and leaving out my horror or audio dramas but without further ado:

It's been out of production for years, but Caustic Soda is probably my favourite of all time. It's a small Canadian production of tons and tons of episodes on everything from shark attacks to murder to warfare to bugs and anthropology. It's so fucking funny and pretty well-researched as time goes on. Honestly, I was so young listening to this that it formed part of the lens through which I view the world.

Stuff You Missed in History Class: Often corny, wee bit lame, occasionally hilarious, always solid; this one is probably the one that has taught me the most. It's been on the air forever now, and it's really fucking great. They have also used sources that I actually dug out and made public for the first time and I'm quite proud of that. Its the favourite sweater of podcasts.

Time to Eat the Dogs is about the history of science and exploration. I highly recommend it if you like any of those things. I really like the host's interview style; all the guests are academics and authors. It's very conversational and feels like having a lovely sit-down with good friends, but those friends have Ph. Ds.

Casting Lots: Two really, really funny Brits discuss survival cannibalism across time and space. This podcast informed me that a story i heard as a fireside tale was based on true events. It somehow manages to mention Canada in every other episode and then some. I love the first three seasons in particular. They have truly done some incredible work in the course of their series and pulled from some primary sources that surprised even me, an actual archivist. They're shockingly respectful for how funny they are and how disturbing the content is and really take into consideration things like culture, empire, sex and racism as they discuss cannibalism, and it's just. I love it so much, truly.

Big Old Boats: It's not technically a podcast, but I've never once in my life actually watched the video as he discusses various maritime disasters, and I don't think I've ever missed anything by doing so. This is an absolute must-listen if you enjoy maritime history, missing ships, ghost ships, or just anything weird related to a boat. Archival work I did is actually mentioned in a couple of episodes!

Not What You Thought You Knew: Another podcast I really love that was, unfortunately, a very short run but academics and actual historians debunking popular historical myths. I am very, very fond of the episodes on The Night Witches in particular.

The Midnight Library: Last but not least my favourite fucking podcast currently running. It's a nonfiction podcast framed as a fictional witch/librarian in her cursed library telling (mostly) true stories around a particular theme, human vice, or any number of stories. And the way it's framed is so fucking great. Like they're talking about real history, witchcraft and folklore in so many of these, but you get little glimpses of world-building that have honestly started to bleed into the way I write. Even the ads are for fake magical businesses like 'the League of Lady Grave Diggers, the Broom and Fang pub. The library assistant/bouncer is a werewolf. The Witch's on-again and off-again boyfriend is a spring-heel jack. It's just so fucking clever a way to frame a nonfiction podcast in a spooky atmosphere while being historical, terrifying and funny in turns.

Anywho, if you listen to any of them let me know! And sorry if that went overboard!

Pioneers of Electronic Music.

Ann Southam

When she began to study composition seriously in 1960, a teacher, Gustav Ciamaga, introduced her to the relatively new field of electronic music.

"I loved the mucking-around quality of it," she said of her time in the University of Toronto's electronic-music studio.

"It was a combination of making things happen and letting things happen. There was no point trying to tune anything. Things would just kind of drift off. It was like a wilderness of sounds. And now that whole wonderful playground has been paved over," she said, referring to the much more sophisticated equipment available today. (source: theglobeandmail)

She founded, with Mary Gardiner, the Association of Canadian Women Composers in 1981. She was the first president (1980–'88), life member (2002), and honorary president (2007). (source: thecanadianencyclopedia)

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

A week dominated by small mixed changes to perf with improvements slightly outweighing regressions. There were no pure regressions, and many of the mixed perf results were deemed worth it for their potential improvements to runtime performance through further optimization from LLVM.

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

Mike Bihun was shot and killed by a prison guard on April 15, 1932, at Manitoba Penitentiary. It is the 90th anniversary of his death. Two other prisoners, Thomas Jones and William Gorda, were shot and seriously wounded, though they would survive and later be put on trial. They seriously injured the Chief Keeper Thomas Clayton and a Guard, Alfred Fisher. It was one of the most violent incidents in the, at that point, 60 year history of the Manitoba Penitentiary, better known as Stony Mountain.

Although mentioned in the final report of the 1938 Royal Commission to Investigate the Penal System of Canada, this event is largely forgotten, and much of the documentation that would be necessary to make sense of it is functionally "lost" in uncatalogued materials or restricted document sets at Library and Archives Canada. Yet this was the first, small rumblings of a tumultuous decade of convict revolt in 1930s Canada, so it merits much closer attention.

First, I want to start with how the event was described by the newspapers, the coroner's inquest, and the Ministry of Justice, the majority of the available sources at this time. Then, we'll discuss the investigation and its many loose ends and unanswered questions. Finally, what happened after Bihun was buried, and what is the place of this event in broader penal history?

1.

For almost a month before April 15, 1932, Jones and Gorda had been confined in the penal cells - that is, solitary confinement - for repeated violations of prison rules. Speaking to the press after the event, the Warden, Col. William Meighen, brother of former prime minister Arthur Meighen, claimed "that the pair have been two of his most troublesome prisoners, and are as desperate men as ever have been confined in the prison."

Jones had previously served two terms at the Fort William Industrial Farm, in what is now Thunder Bay, and had been sent to Stony Mountain for 2 years for escaping from that provincial prison. Gorda had been sentenced at Minnedosa in mid-1930 for three years for housebreaking and theft - it was his first time in prison. Bihun, ironically, was a model prisoner, despite having the worse reputation outside of prison. He had been sentenced on Dec. 22, 1930, to 10 years in the penitentiary with 10 lashes for his part in the daylight raid on the Bank of Montreal, Logan Avenue, Winnipeg. He was only 20.

Gorda and Jones, right before the attack, had been brought from their cells to be given a bath along with two other prisoners. Their path took them through a central courtyard, where 80 prisoners were at work cutting stone, breaking rocks, and building a new wall. Due to these cramped and insecure conditions, a larger than normal escort of four officers, including the Chief Keeper, were escorting the four inmates from the bath back to the penal cells.

Suddenly, Gorda and Jones broke away from their escorts, grabbed sledge hammers and stone breaking tools, and attacked Clayton and Fisher, cutting and bruising their heads and shoulders with repeated, "savage," blows. They chased the Mason Instructor, and then ran toward the penal cells. In desperation, one of the guards in the yard yelled 'Shoot, Shoot!' to the tower officers. Three of the guards stationed on the walls opened fire - first into the air as a warning, and then at Gorda and Jones, aiming at their legs and arms to avoid a fatal shot. Despite hitting both men, neither inmate surrendered or stopped, and had to be forcibly restrained by Deputy Warden John Abbott and a team of guards.

A group of inmates was watching the assault from the entrance to the nearby 'stone shed,' despite being ordered to take cover. Bihun, one of this group, was struck by a ricochet bullet that killed him instantly.

The wounded officers were helped by a group of inmates to their homes outside the wall, and Gorda and Jones were rushed to the prison hospital.

The whole affair had taken less than ten minutes.

A coroner's inquest was called by Dr. A. N. McLeod, which sat from 9 pm until nearly 3 a.m. on the 16th. McLeod fully exonerated the three guards who fired their rifles, and indeed they were praised for their "restraint." The specifics of the event, however, remained very confused. Clayton, Fisher, Gorda, and Jones were not interviewed by the inquest, or in the later investigation.

The Winnipeg 'Tribune' claimed this was the "first serious trouble that has ever occurred within the prison" whereas the Minister of Justice gave a statement that "there had been no riot and that what had happened, under the circumstances, was by no means unprecedented."

2.

The Minister of Justice was correct - this kind of assault and violence against guards at the Manitoba Penitentiary was not unprecedented. In 1912 and 1919 prisoners had assaulted and killed guards, in the latter case even being found by a jury to have acted with provocation because of abusive treatment from officers of the institution.

Some of the basics of the above account, drawn from official statements, the coroner's inquest, and press reports, are reasonably accurate - the assault on the prison officers was carried out by only Jones and Gorda, and the bullet that killed Bihun was definitely a ricochet. Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie nonetheless wanted to be certain of what had taken place, and sent Inspector of Penitentiaries E. R. Jackson to investigate, as Jackson had experience as warden at the British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Kingston penitentiaries. His brief included determining if the death of Bihun was caused by staff incompetence or vindictiveness.

Jackson’s investigation noted that Jones had actually been caught, only twenty minutes before the assault, trying to hide a 12-inch piece of pipe on his person, that the construction and piles of stone around the yard made security exceptionally difficult to enforce, and concluded that Gorda and Jones were attempting to free other inmates from the solitary confinement cells. They were also seeking out another officer, Keeper Ellison, to assault or kill him in revenge for real or imagined slights. The other inmates being escorted along with Gorda and Jones did nothing to help or hinder their outbreak.

Jackson observed from his evidence that “everything was excitement” in the yard and shops, making it difficult to gauge if other inmates had been involved. No guards had written down the names of the dozens of inmates who stayed in the yard, though both Jackson and Meighen thought they behaved "remarkably well, given the circumstances" and no further inquiry was made in this direction. There was also no interrogation of the other prisoners in the penal cells.

According to Jackson’s investigation, the night of April 15, after dinner was served, the inmates showed some restlessness and there was “considerable talking” and “some yelling” in the cell blocks, and consequently the prisoners were kept in their cells over the weekend. Six of the inmates who assisted the wounded officers and provided first aid to the injured were singled out for praise and had substantial periods taken off their sentences or were rewarded with early parole.

Both Gorda and Jones had long “defaulter sheets” (lists of prison offences) including reports for insolence, causing a disturbance, refusing to work, inciting others to refuse to work, gambling, idling their time, refusing to obey orders, and “violet resistance” to the Deputy Warden and Chief Keeper. Notably, the year before this event, on April 30, 1931, Gorda had assaulted Chief Keeper Clayton with a club. Gorda apparently had it out for this officer (or thought Clayton had it out for him - Gorda’s first punishment in prison was losing a week’s good time for failing to earn his conduct and industry marks, and this report was made by Clayton). Each inmate had spent roughly 120 days off and on in solitary confinement since they arrived at Manitoba Penitentiary. Meighen wrote months later that "neither man was a Choir Boy" - this seemed the only explanation the warden needed for Gorda and Jones' actions on April 15.

Jackson’s investigation, despite being over a hundred pages in length, was rather cursory in some ways and a number of threads were not picked up. Crown Attorney J. F. McNeill, who was initially asked by Guthrie to prosecute Gorda and Jones for assault, wrote to the Minister of Justice on August 3, 1932, troubled by how many unanswered questions remained after the event: “Other inmates during the course of this trouble were apparently out of control, or at least the Guards in charge of them ran away from them and they pretty much did as they pleased until the Deputy Warden restored order in the yard. In the reports on the file, there is no information as to names or number of convicts concerned or what really did happen. As a matter of fact, I do not think that the reports of the event on this file are sufficient to base an opinion as what should be done with the various officers or to prosecute the prisoners. A reading of the reports leaves me with the impression that the warden has been lax in his administration and that the guards were not particularly well-trained nor did they show very much courage in dealing with this serious situation.”

McNeill also concluded that “it was entirely unnecessary to do any shooting at all in the present case.” He noted that the men on the towers and wall who fired were all new appointments, and had simply followed the orders of their panicked superiors in the yard. McNeill thought that if Deputy Warden Abbott had been able to restore order without using guns, they should never had been used to begin with, given the considerable danger to staff and prisoners. Bihun's death, he felt, was entirely preventable.

McNeill, unlike Jackson, was also extremely cynical about the conduct and training of the guards and some of the “exacting” methods they used. Although Manitoba Penitentiary had a reputation among the other Canadian federal prisons of being relatively well-disciplined and well run, reports in this period indicate that the officers were often bored and so often made overly fussy or exaggerated reports to give themselves something to do, were isolated from the broader community (there still is no community bigger than a village within kilometres of the prison, and Winnipeg was hours away in 1932) and turned to heavy drinking to pass the time far more than at other federal prisons.

3.

Most ominously, McNeill was troubled to ponder that “if two inmates of the Manitoba Penitentiary can cause all the disorder that these two gentlemen did in the short time that they were at large in the prison yard, then a serious situation would develop if more then two took it into their heads to defy the guards.”

Indeed, and this never made its way into the newspapers, there were several other attempts in August and September 1932 by other small groups of inmates to provoke fights with guards or cause disturbances in the workshops. This got to the point that on September 30, 1932, Warden Meighen requested from headquarters in Ottawa the purchase of, and unlimited approval to deploy, tear gas to control inmates in the penal cells and main cell blocks should they attempt to rebel again. He noted in an earlier report that Gorda and Jones had been caught passing notes to other inmates in the prison, and that news of the trials of Gorda and Jones had to be prevented from entering the prison, as it might inflame an already tense situation.

Why? Gorda’s family had retained a lawyer, Pieter Hagel - who was an ex-convict himself, sentenced to three years in 1914 for aiding an escape from a county jail in British Columbia! Hagel's defence strategy was to embarrass and criticize the penitentiary system, and thus find some mitigating factors to explain Gorda and Jones' actions. During the preliminary hearings, Hagel asked Warden Meighen why Clayton had been transferred to Manitoba Penitentiary, and was successful in getting into evidence a past incident at Kingston Penitentiary, years before, when Clayton allegedly pushed an inmate down a flight of stairs.

The trial proper began in November 1932, and Hagel tried to call a number of unrelated witnesses, including the notorious bandit ‘Slim’ Williams, to speak about general prison conditions. Warden Meighen was deeply concerned that Judge Madden, presiding, had been reading penal reform literature and inflammatory newspaper accounts of prison conditions, as public opinion had been “stirred up by unbalanced and bad reporting about recent events at Kingston and St, Vincent de Paul.” (Meighen to Sup’t of Penitentiaries Ormond, November 9, 1932)

The combination of simmering anger and unrest, strict discipline, poorly trained and aggressive guards, and overcrowding that was evident at Manitoba Penitentiary in mid-1932 was also present at the penitentiaries in Kingston and Laval, where prisoners revolted in a series of politically-oriented and well-organized strikes and riots in October and November.

Rumours of these events came to Manitoba Penitentiary in mid-November, and a sympathy strike was called as the whole prison fell into “excitement” again. Jones was even let out of solitary, on the condition he try to calm the situation. This didn’t work - either because he was playing the authorities or the unrest he had helped kick off was already out of his influence. Only the arrival of a company of soldiers ended the unrest.

Reading the primary documents - the reports of the officers and so forth - there is one striking parallel between the situation at Manitoba Penitentiary in 1932 and other federal penitentiaries: no one in charge seemed even remotely aware of the level of inmate anger and dissatisfaction, to the point that the officers of each prison were very much sleepwalking into disaster. Gorda and Jones didn't particularly have a constructive agenda, and were preoccupied with revenge. But their actions clearly resonated with many of their fellow prisoners, and not unusually, this assault precipitated further acts of resistance.
