**What a great way to start the day!**
Momo the M**o, my adorable kitty ❤️🔥, woke me up for a walk on my day off. As we wandered the highest municipal district in Canada, sleepily, my mind meandered…
From Canada Day (meh)
To Cannabis Day (the first one I haven’t celebrated in over ten years)
To Indigenous Day of Reflection (I've been pondering the value of ancestry after exploring both sides of my family)
To the Two-Spirited evolution (& the influence pop culture has on history)
To Pride (& the lack of LGBTQIA+ visibility in this small company town in BC)
To Boston Dynamics’ Spot (I want a BD puppy so bad!)
To how excited I was about Boba Fett's moment in the Star Wars series (S1, E1, 18:20)
Then, I remembered that NOW is actually PRIDE. Yes, it’s celebrated on various dates across June & July in North America, but here’s a fact👇:
Pride was inspired by the Stonewall Riots that occurred from June 28th, 1969, to July 3rd, 1969.
I’m saddened but remain hopeful that many straight people don’t understand why PRIDE is so much more important than Canada Day now.
Pride has evolved and is now inclusive. It’s not just about being q***r; it’s about the evolution of freedom and the right to be… a sentient being, free from harm or fear:
The freedom to love, to live, to give. The freedom to bare your soul, bare your ass, or smoke your grass. The freedom to celebrate whatever you want, to reflect, and even freedom for rednecks. The freedom to marry, be free of FOMO, or remain SOLO, like ME! 😁
**Happy Pride EVERYONE!**
