It’s Wednesday.
It’s actually Wednesday June 21, 2023. Around the world people of many backgrounds, origins, faith, etc. are (in their own way) celebrating Summer Solstice, the official beginning of Summer and the longest day of the year.
Here in the Great White North, a.k.a. Canada, we are also celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day.
On June 21, for National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada. And so we should, after how badly we botched things up with the Indigenous Peoples historically.
Wednesday also happens to be one of my favourite shows on Netflix. (Bear with me for a moment, I may have to make some stretches to make this all come together.) Jenna Ortega is brilliant as the lead character. As a big time fan of the original 1964 Addams Family TV series, I was skeptical. I certainly never felt any of the movies did the the original series justice. I couldn’t be happier to be wrong. I love the new show.
That being said, I think I could get behind a new movie with the cast that showed up in my facebook feed. A post from Reed Redbond (Dementia Von Grimm) has got to be one of the most worthy ideas yet. Reed Redbond is an extremely talented, creative artist hailing from the UK. You can find them on facebook & twitter. A quick warning, not all their posts are for everyone’s taste or sensibilities but there are some real gems there. I have already shared the post on FB but I think it deserves to get as much attention as possible. Especially today. So here you go…

Enjoy your Wednesday!
