    LGBTQSIA2+ Histories in Japan and China 

    July 3, 2026 / No Comments

    Written by Mace Elsher Introduction This series will explore Queer identities, representation, and the oppressive ideologies met by the LGBTQS2IA+ community within Chinese and Japanese history. Before continuing, I would like to state that I will be using language such as “homosexual,” “transvestism,” and “queer,” this is not to offend people of the LGBTQS2IA+ community but to establish terminology that is specific to historical cases. Contemporary individuals that associate themselves with the LGBTQS2IA+ fall under this community; however, because the LGBTQ+S2IA+ is a new term, it can only be loosely connected to the past. However, this does not discredit any Queer individual of the past, but it is crucial to…

    Free Your Soul: Lethbridge Psychic and New Age Market 

    March 31, 2026 / No Comments

    Written by Grace Horlings If there’s a tarot deck and a willing friend, I’m going to get a reading. If I see a repeating three digit number on my microwave clock or on the total of my receipt, I’ll take it as a sign. I’m one to blame my proclivity for taking a selfie every time I have a good hair day and my strong-headedness on my Leo placement. I have always made a face when my friend tells me the star sign of the guy they’re dating. When I saw a sign on the highway advertising a psychic market, I was immediately susceptible.  The Free Your Soul Market was…
