Nova Scotia. I think I see some familiar faces here...still preoccupied with Springsteen, life, the universe and everything. Feminism. Health both public and reproductive. Covid ain't over.

Oh dear, that must have been something! I have a similar reaction watching our MLA respond to the comments on her FB post where she presents the cuts to services as A GOOD THING!

We are pretty complacent out here, and a lot of people like our MLA, I think my first letter might have caught them off guard, but now they are getting a deluge (and probably orders to ignore us?)

My first two letters to our MLA got responses from her assistant, telling me variois things, that Danielle was in Halifax, I should write to the Minister of Culture and she would print out my letter for Danielke's attention. My third letter got the automated response within seconds of being sent.

I know not a lot of my NS pocket friends pay attention to @theglobeandmail.com anymore, now that we cant get a hard copy except bespoke ones on Saturday at only a few locations. But look at today's editorial headline..

Soooo they are afraid of talking to regular people, indoors, with security standing by?

And even though the front page mentions c the Sports Hall of Fame, you can choose a more local museum to support.

It had allowed other museums in the province who were not "provincial" museums to up their game, and bring up their standards.

TRACK | ANSM - Association of Nova Scotia Museums

And some of that was due to the professionalization of museums promoted and brought about by training opportunities shared by the Association of NS Museums programming ansm.ns.ca/track/ which is being cut in half.
