Secular Sunday – “Indiana public librarians forced to remove half the books in the teen section as demanded by unelected library board including a pro-book banning pastor”

Just as we watched drug poisonings and Narcan training spread across American libraries before becoming more common in Canada, I suspect religiously-motivated book banning requests (and religious board members being even more activist in trying to direct library’s directions, not just individual books) is the next thing American libraries will export to Canada.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Drop Everything And Read, Regina Coronation Park (April 2017) #skpoli

By most accounts, Sask Party MLA Mark Docherty was a decent dude. I know I always enjoyed my interactions with him – when he would come to the library I was working at for events or programs or when I would bump into him at community events or whatever. Given his background and resume, I’ve […]

Secular Sunday – He/Him Is Risen

It is absolutely [chef’s kiss.gif] that this writer for Briarpatch chooses to announce they are trans, their name is now Alex, and they are using he/him pronouns while using #HeIsRisen as a hashtag on Easter Sunday. Long time Birrellheads may have noticed that my byline has changed. This is because I'm trans! I'm using he/him […]

Music Monday – “Experience Regina” (Well, It Was An Experience To Be in Regina This Weekend Anyhow!)

“Experience Regina” Parody (Watch It To See Some of Regina’s “Highlights”) You may have heard that Tourism Regina recently rebranded. It started with a teaser clip and message on social media at the start of March: It’s All Happening… Let’s push the narrative; the same old is boring. Our city is changing, and that means […]

Covid Is Not “Over” (And It Never Will Be) But…

…there are signs that, for myself personally, it’s in a different phase compared to the heights of masking/social distancing/rapid testing that have been much of my (and society’s) approach for the past three years. * I mostly mask when in crowds and/or as a sign of respect and understanding if I’m interacting with someone who’s […]

Saturday Snap – “Do you need a campaign volunteer who has helped candidates win at least 10% of the campaigns he’s worked on?”

Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowessess First Nation is one of, if not the most, high profile Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan for his work in business, child welfare and much more. (Unfortunately, part of his high profile,including an interview for CBS’s “60 Minutes” show, is for very tragic reasons.) Above is a pic of myself and […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – CUPE Convention (March 2015)

I’ve spent a few days at the CUPE Sask convention this week and I honestly thought it was my first time attending but turns out my Covid brain fog is real because I found a pic I took when I was there in 2015. It’s of Sask Party Minister, Don Morgan, trying to be relatable […]
