‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.
A national park service webpage about Stonewall. "Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

I’m just so in love with our main theatre at The Globe 😻 Also look at this gorge set and lighting for the next show!

Women of the Fur Trade opens this week. Set by Kaitlin Hickey, lighting by @lxq42.bsky.social and directed by Yvette Nolan
Panoramic view of a theatre in the round. The globe theatre in Regina stretches out across the entire frame, with seating on all sides with a smattering of audience. On the stage is set of green grass astroturf, small walls and turrets of a fort. Inside the “fort” is a wooden floor, three rocking chairs and three sewing baskets. The rocking chairs are lit with a spot light each and the walls the fort are glowing.

A pretty incredible day and evening of celebrations for the new Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan. I’m so very lucky to have worked with Bernadette for a few months, and now to call her a mentor and friend. She is truly a role model of community building, kindness and dedication.
Bernadette and Oz posing for a photo. Bernadette is in a floor length green sequent dress, with her small medals of office pinned on her dress. Oz is in a black tux with an Every Child Matters/Truth and Reconciliation pin, that is beadwork and orange embroidery. Bernadette is looking up at Oz and laughing, while Oz looks at the camera bemused.

Sometimes you get to do really fun and neat things for work. The former ED of the Globe theatre was installed as the Lieutenant Governor this afternoon. And I got to get all purdied up! Next up is the tux 😻
Three images, with the top image across the entire frame. The top image is of the Saskatchewan legislature with the throne centre dais. On the stage are multiple members of government, military and the new Lieutenant Governor. The lower left image is of me, in a suit, with a pin that says “you’re on native land”. The image on the lower right is a group photo of some of the Globe staff.

Do you run away from feelings of emptiness? It’s time to face them head-on
Do you run away from feelings of emptiness? It’s time to face them head-on
People try many things to fill the void, but respite is short-lived. Learning to tolerate and understand these emotions will give you a more solid sense of yourself I just read an extraordinary article by Anna Parker for this website, and it set my mind…

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Hi y’all, with Meta apps becoming increasingly more unsafe for LGBTQI2+ and marginalized people, and it’s sharp turn to the right.

I’ve decided to migrate here

For the time being I will no longer be posting on any Meta or X apps, looking at the feed or messages.

Here be my only social media! 😻
