    I recently updated how the MONTHLY & QUARTERLY ‘Mutually Beneficial Employment’ supporters of the work that goes into running The 95EH Events Calendar are displayed over on moun.town/events — SO — I figured I’d take this weekend of (american) gratitude to give thanks to the hearty handful of local businesses/organizations that graciously agreed to take a chance on the soft-launch of this non-traditional approach to supporting the work that goes into running a local 'bizness’ idea like 95EH.CA and MOUN.TOWN during this last half of 2023.

    So, THANK YOU Kimberley Public Library 🙌 and THANK YOU Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce 🙌 and THANK YOU Mountain Grass Gallery & Bistro 🙌 and THANK YOU The Hourglass 🙌 and THANK YOU Huckleberry Books 🙌

    As someone who has foolishly gone done the path of 'just do the work and maybe the support will follow’ (aka: diy blogging), it has really meant a lot to see some tangible support for this project come about in its 7th year of attempting to keep existing (although also shoutout to those businesses that signed up for profile pages back in the earlier days… before that pandemic cancelled events for a couple years, as that meant A LOT too 🙌).

    And on the topic of 95EH continuing to exist, I’ll soon be going into 'mostly out of office’ mode for the months of December and January, but I do plan on attempting to fire-up this “Mutually Beneficial Employment” idea again in February 2024 — SO — if any other local businesses/organizations/humans would be interested in joining the 'MBE’ team, please feel strongly encouraged to send a “hey!” to 'hey@95eh.ca’ (or DM me) to start up a conversation OR you can also read more about this concept over at:

    👉 moun.town/mbe 👍

    And in the meantime, I will continue updating The 95EH Events Calendar with Kimberley AND Cranbrook area events, while also putting together a FREE weekly newsletter, while also continuing to share daily “EHs” on the local socials & over on 95EH.CA + MOUN.TOWN (while also working in the background on how to improve/evolve things further for next year… in between getting hygge with the Danish in-laws).

    Someone asked in a Facebook group about how to find out about all the different winter/xmas markets happening in the area, so I figured I would share that if you search The 95EH Events Calendar at moun.town/events you can find a bunch of local markets + if/when public Facebook events get created for anymore Kimberley/Cranbrook area markets, they’ll get added to the overall list (it’s also possible to submit events right on the calendar for anyone who doesn’t use Facebook for listing their local area events).

    Channels of Rage
    On the vile and corrosive replacement myth, those who push it and why they do, and what it really replaces.

    “And I believe the appropriate response to all of this corruption is anger, which I’m defining very specifically as something that is observant, clearly seeing the lie as a lie, and the lie’s corruptions as corrupt; as something that is restorative, seeking not to exchange wrong for wrong, but to exchange great supremacist lies with greater truths about intrinsic human value; and as something that is expectant, which believes that change is not only possible but necessary, and filled with a great conviction that it is the responsibility of all of us to see this restorative change come about.” - READ MORE HERE
