  1. Victoria has a ‘Scream-Like-A-Gull Contest,’ and this #CHEKnews clip of local bird-watchers giving it their all is the funniest thing I’ve watched in a long time: ‘Screaming like a gull is going to be the thing to do, and the place to be.’

  2. @dillyd His (sorry, it’s a man) name is Git’weedzarat, or Person-With-Large-Nose, and he is a crest belonging to the Wolf clan of the Gitanyow tribe.

    [Edit: Above is from Barbeau (1929) but Duff (1959) is more reliable. Gitanyow told him the figure is a woman named Will-a-Daugh. She birthed a grub-worm that destroyed her village & was killed. In despair she drowned herself. The crest is indeed a mother holding her child. @dillyd was correct.]

  12. Okay that ‘Christmas Dream’ opening song was nuts.

  13. Something about the perfect crisp plaid of the controlled Helen Brent’s couture outfit and its contrast with the drunken Mrs Kraft’s chaotic deconstructed squares is working for me #TCM #NoirAlley #BornToKill

  14. Mrs Craft is the inspiration for Miss Hannigan, looks like #TCM #noiralley #BornToKill

  15. Poetic license in this 1943 #letterhead at #BCArchives: “The Alaska Highway / See, now, of power & conquest / what a destiny is mine! / As a symbol of defiance, lo! the / wilderness I span; / And my beacons burn exultant / as an everlasting sign / Of unending domination, of the mastery of Man!”

  17. Archival research reveals some interesting letterheads: one for the Venezia Hotel (1933) in #Natal, BC—“The Best Hotel for Me” due to its barber shop, pool room, & phones available “day and night”—and another for a British Columbia Police Radiogram (1926), with that gorgeous green ink on cheap paper

  18. @RickiTarr A former lifelong friend—now an anti-vax, crypto-loving, prepper conspiracist who recently dumped me for living in ‘clown world’ like a chump—admitted to trolling as an actual hobby. She’d make a drink after dinner, and spend hours happily replying to social media posts with the express intention of stirring shit up. Just a middle-aged, wealthy, white woman who found joy in making people mad or miserable, on purpose. I don’t miss her.

  23. @HannahHowe Thanks for your reply! You’re confirming what I’m not seeing when I hunt for books online. I’m surprised that there’s not a reliable go-to source, and it goes to show how much research #KarinaLongworth must have done for her #JoanCrawford podcasts on #YouMustRememberThis She delved so deeply into JC’s early years, affairs, and relationship with Christine that I was hoping to find an equally compelling biography.
