Songs don’t save the world.
They save people.

…And people do the rest.

On this day thirty five years ago, #TheSistersOfMercy performed the first of two nights at #WembleyArena.

These were the final dates on "Tour Thing", the first time the Sisters had played live since 1985, and the first time with the #VisionThing lineup.

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

One of the novels on Alberta's banned book list is The Lesser Blessed by @richardvancamp.bsky.social. We've shared some of Richard's words about what this book has meant to him, and we hope that they will be cause for reflection about what is going on in the province.

As a self published writer I implore you to embrace your oddness, your idiosyncrasies, your passions. The mainstream has bland homogeny covered. Write something different - distinctively you - and discover your true audience. #writing
