Hello friends, introductory Post! I'm Lester, I work in Canada as both a Game Designer/Producer as well as a theatre technician, stage manager and designer. I write, play a LOT of d&d, video games, and music.

I'm very politically leftist, anti-racist and pro-trans rights. My pronouns are he/him.

I donated 5 bucks the other day as a specific middle finger to tech oligarchs

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

Yeah, I would generally not want our entire country to have to self-police our very thoughts and comedy in service of a giant narcissistic megalomaniac at all times.

I'll be first to sign up for creating satire that lampoons him.

Was it ill advised? Yeah, maybe in the way that you shouldn't give tempra paint to a toddler and leave the room for half an hour?

But it wasn't 'wrong'.

"Despite Trump's Anger, Canadian politicians won't say Ontario's anti-tariff ad was a mistake"

What radicalized me?

No. What made you so inured you want only yours and for others to die? What brought you to the point where you can't share a crust of bread or a cup of water? What made you not able to bandage a wound, or lend a hand?

What calloused you? That's the real question.

What radicalized me?

What radicalized ME?!

No.

What made you desensitized to the world?

What made you hate that people should be allowed to flourish?

What made you dislike the feel of wind through the leaves, the fall of the sun giving way to twilight, the lapping of waves?

In a role that is traditionally often overlooked, dismissed or set to the side as a lesser contributor to the arts in contrast to more 'creatives', acknowledgement and community are foundational to acceptance.

Thank you, Vancouver Opera for seeing me.

What I was not expecting, was for the company to have said a few words to the Elder to specifically call out and bless me, as the 'new member of the team' last night.

It was honestly really touching, and gratifying. I had the chance after to shake the Elder's hand and thank him.

So one extremely kind thing at Vancouver Opera. It's my first opera with them. Like many arts orgs, before opening night, we have an Indigenous blessing for all who wish to participate.

An elder speaks a few words, gives us a blessing for our performance and for our creative work.

Thank you! It's been a blast!

I'm so tired, but we had a great opening night last night for Vancouver Opera. Rigoletto is open to an almost sold out crowd, the audience was loud and boisterous, we partied hard and had a great time.

Now to recharge before performance two!

On opening night of the Vancouver Writer’s FestivaI, I was with seven other authors where we were given the prompt to talk about being a Canadian now under this new pressure from tariffs and talks of annexation by the US. Everyone spoke powerfully. (Cont’d)
