I really want to sleep. But the last minute text messages from folks who are choosing different priorities over tomorrow’s town council meeting are getting to me. I don’t have a problem with their priorities, but telling me I should announce to the council what their priorities are is too much.

Temps next Tuesday night where our friend is STILL living in a car are projected to go down into the 30's (F). The goal is to get her inside for a while, & while significant progress towards that has been made, there's still a ways to go. V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree C: @sndesireecha.bsky.social

Watching hockey with the kids tonight and I of course point out how 90% of the ads are methods for winning/making money (predatory home equity loans, “score and win” grocery store promos, gambling/betting) and the other 10% are debt counselling/consolidation companies.

As my family friend floods his FB page with photos of one of his adult children over the years from birth to parenthood, I am once again reminding you: Consent extends to photos of your kids on the internet. Did your kid consent? No? Don’t post/share the photo.

You know when is the best time to teach kids, all kids and any kids, about consent and autonomy? When they are small. Even before they can communicate verbally. Teach them in small ways. If you nurse your baby, start talking about consent and autonomy right now.

Ok, woke up to a beautiful message from the band. And this last little tidbit about our token of thanks tells me it landed exactly the way I hoped it would.
Excerpt from John Hewitt’s Facebook post about their journey to Tumbler Ridge:

At the end of the night we were given this artistic plaque. It’s far greater than any dollar we could have earned. It’s maybe the most important piece of road memorabilia I will ever own. It’s a reminder to walk towards the storm, not away from it. Timestamped. 

Eternal.

Well, I’m biased, but I’d like to the think the concert went well. Nearly full house — which is saying something for here because of the mine shifts and Bingo happening on Thursdays… The band was great! Personal songs, couple covers. And I think they appreciated our token of thanks.
A small hexagonal plaque made from transparent acrylic and wood (birch). The Tumbler Ridge Community Arts Council butterfly logo has been laser engraved on the clear acrylic. The wood has a thank you message addressed to John Hewitt & The New Americans as well as the date, October 1, 2026. To the left, a large musical eighth note at the same angle as it appears in the butterfly logo above. The plaque sits askew on a silky moss green backdrop.
