Secular Sunday – Grifting, I Mean, Grieving Widow?
Charlie Kirk’s wife husband was violently assassinated three months ago. I’m pretty hard on religion and a lot of people are saying her “grieving” isn’t appropriate. But if I’m being completely honest, if she’s truly a hardcore Christian Evangelical, I’m guessing that there’s nothing deeper here (literally) than her thinking that her husband dying was […]
Music Monday – “He Ao hara, he Ao Aroha kore/T? mai r? koe hei whaka-tau I au/Ng? t?manako O te Ao Katoa”
“Tapu Te P? (O Holy Night)” – Marlon Williams, Dhungala Children’s Choir, Paul Kelly
Music Monday – “I will come back here, bring me back when I’m old/I want to lay here forever in the cold I might be cold but I’m just skin and bones/And I’ll never love England more than when covered in snow”
One of the single saddest moments of my life was leaving England a couple days before Christmas after a four-month college exchange. I still consider the single most joyful stretch of my entire life – the people, the sights, the experiences – just pure living in the moment and openness to the world that greatly […]
Tips For Interacting With People With Dementia
Here are tips about people with dementia that I just discovered…some of them I knew but some are new to me and will help me with my mom and maybe help some of you too. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Margaret.” NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? […]
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!)
