My Clash In Italy Picks

Cody Rhodes vs Gunther

Just because I want Randy to return

Becky Lynch vs Sol Ruca

I'm a huge fan of Sol but I feel its a bit soon for her to win a main roster title I think she will win it eventually but hey who knows she might win it tonight

Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi

It pains me to pick him but I feel if they are doing a trilogy they need to go into the 3rd with being 1 all makes it more interesting

Rhea Ripley vs Jade Cargill

I don't see Rhea dropping the title let's be honest Jade's title wasn't the best and that wasn't her fault creative are crap

Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu

Do I really need to explain why

Credit to gif owners

ᓄᐦᑕᐃᐧᕀ ᐊᐢᑯᑖᐢᑯᐱᓱᐣ nohtawiy askotâskopison, My Father’s Cradleboard by Morgan Possberg Denne

The New Gallery, November 18 - December 22, 2023

“Cradleboards have been used for thousands of years by our ancestors to carry and love for our future generations. They have protected us, acted as an external womb, and given us a place as children to watch our parents' culture and learn from a safe distance. I’ve always wondered if the fact that neither my father, his father, or myself was ever put in a cradleboard may have had a long term impact on our development, personhood, and our coping mechanisms to the ways that colonialism, residential schools and the foster care system has affected my family.

Now as an adult I deeply wish I could rewind the clock and put myself, and my father before me, and his father before him in a cradleboard as a child. To softly sing songs to us, give us safety, and to give us a connection to our culture in a safe environment. Maybe this would fix things. As kids when we were supposed to be kept safe and playing in the woods we were instead being prepped for the meat factory - the eternal meat grinder of colonialism.

The western world teaches us to push aside this childhood imagining and innocence - “These things can’t be undone!”, but what if they could? In another world somebody took better care of us, in another time we learned to drum and sing and dance, in another place we were listened to by adults who had the capacity to love and care for us.

These hot chest and aching throat feelings, the times of biting back angry tears and saying “It’s fine” have to count for something….right?”

“Morgan Possberg Denne is Two-Spirit millennial scoop and foster care survivor; with settler, Cree, Metis, and Chippewa blood connections. They have grown up in treaty 7 territory, and have relatives in southern and northern Ontario. Morgan creates imaginative, illustrative objects which could be seen as pieces of possible narratives, different ways to connect with the past and potential futures through layers of abstraction with no right or wrong answer. What matters to them is not accurately recreating the past or to predict the future, but rather to capture an inner truth and a possible alternative reality of colonial experiences. In a sense, creating new culture from a series of “what-ifs” and new stories / lore. Their work has been recently shown at the Confederation Centre for the Arts and Gallery Gachet.”

2. a close up of the same piece. the artwork has faint text cut out of the green tea tanned fish that reads “hey it’s not your fault, you know that right?”

3. a photo of the space showing a video projected onto several fish skins, a table with a vest and a hat made of fish leather, and on the table are cartons made from rawhide.

4. a coatrack on which are a rawhide hunting ruffle and rawhide fishing net resembling a badminton racket

5. a shelf seen in the background of image 3 containing a astro-turf shirt, a hand gun and pocket knife made from rawhide and a fish leather circular clip with a piece of dark hair hanging off the shelf.]

This year had been a mostly chill one until September. The highlight of my year is that I got a gig as a music writer/reviewer for an online magazine, which is still quite wonderful. These albums have been my soundtrack for the year, in which I also became a huge Steely Dan fan (thanks to a recruiter who has a history in the music biz. Thank you!), and fell back in love with Paramore (it's like we are growing up together...). I have some other releases I need to give my time to (Mitski, and Hozier. No need to yell at me, I know!) but these records were the ones that I really loved:

This is Why - Paramore

Red Moon in Venus - Kali Uchis

the record - boygenius

the rest - boygenius

The Age of Pleasure - Janelle Monáe

PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE - Christine and The Queens

My Soft Machine - Arlo Parks

Mid Air - Romy

Laugh Track - The National

Can't Buy A Thrill - Steely Dan (basically all their 70s albums)

There were other releases that I would have loved but didn't due to the artists' behavior (mainly Doja Cat and The Kills. I listened to both when they dropped, and, while there are a few songs I really like, I found it easy to put them aside). But, so it goes. This year is sadly ending on a downcast note for me, but I do look forward to new music in the new year.
