Throwback Thursday – “A Man Without Land Is Nothing” – Duddy Kravitz (August 2022)

I’ve been heavily involved in a variety of major changes for those I love most in the past three years – my mom is now in a care home because of her dementia, my dad has finished the sale of the last quarter of land from the farm that’s been in our family since 1883 […]

Lawful Evil vs. Chaotic Evil: Understanding the Motivation of the Charlie Kirk Shooter

There is a far-right group called Turning Point USA led by Charlie Kirk and another, even more far-right group called Groypers, led by Charlie Fuentes and they are at war with each other, even while being at war with the wider world in various ways. This is a great explanation of why: @cybelecanterel A quick […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

Music Monday – “Why don’t you ever want to play?/I’m tired of this piece of string/You sleep as much as I do now/And you don’t eat much of anything”

The best song trilogy of all-time? (I think there’s a reason that cats are the spirit animal of librarians!)

Music Monday – “It’s a working man I am/And I’ve been down under ground/And I swear to God if l ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind/I never again will go down under ground”

Decided to go to Regina’s “Day of Mourning” event at City Hall this year. Twenty-seven people died workplace-related deaths last year and this was the first year I knew one of them which makes the whole thing a lot more real. This was a song they played at the end of the ceremony. “Working Man” […]

Music Monday – “These are finest times of my life/This is the greatest time of my life This is the greatest time of my life/These are the biggest times of my life”

A colleague sent me this song I’d never heard before and, true story, it hit me just right so I ended up tearing up in my cubicle. (That may have been the intention?) “Bill Is Dead” – The Fall
