I live for ridiculous drag numbers! Getting good mileage out of that coat too! I made it for a Mollymauk cosplay but it's perfect for stuff like this!

There’s a group of folks that are super Take Back Alberta adjacent and are “definitely not coordinated despite all of the evidence to the contrary”…

Anyways…

Here’s a great article from The Sprawl you should send to everyone you know.

It's getting closer and closer to the gayest time of year! That's right HALLOWEEN!!! So here's a throwback to probably one of the most fun numbers I did! The Oogie Boogie Song!

Also, I totally forgot, but yesterday was my drag birthday! Dann Gleebitz has now been around for six whole years! Still so grateful for the community I've met, and the confidence that doing drag has given me!

It still feels surreal, but I am so happy I got into drag when I did!

Less than a month until the 20th anniversary show for my drag troupe and I am definitely one part anxious and one part completely hyped! This is probably the biggest thing I've gotten to be a part of, and I want to be the show to be great!

This is TONIGHT!!! If you like drag and are in Calgary, come on out and watch the show! It is PACKED full of performers and looks like it's gonna be a blast!

Dann Gleebitz @danngleebitz.bsky.social · Jul 15

Next show is on Thursday, I have a ridiculous number planned. I’m in the process of making a bunch of little felt, sequinned pizzas to pin to my shirt.

Did a show in honour of my drag mom’s birthday tonight! I don’t usually do a lot of country but I might have to consider doing them more! It was fun!

Of course, the Electric Stage crew is always a great group of people! I missed them!

Say hello to Mr. Electric Stage Series Circuit 11!!! I am still so grateful for the community I’ve met in the last 6 years. I don’t know where I’d be without everyone!!!

Uuuugh yeah, I know what you mean. I was learning Japanese so I get that's a whole other beast, but I know I'm not even at an elementary level of reading or speaking.

Hopefully someone does an app or webpage dump for some Duolingo alternatives.

Agreed. Don't like Canada? Move out! Get out of here! There is no Alberta without Canada!

What great albums came out when you were 21?

Dir en grey album cover for Kisou

The background is a marbled white/pale grey and there is a circle in the center, with a window frame with a deep blue marble background behind it.

Album cover for Audioslave's self titled 2002 album.

A large gold sculpture resembling a flame is on a greyish rocky landscape. A small figure wearing a red shirt and blue shorts stares at the sculpture.

Album cover for Shania Twain's album, Up!

Shania is in the center, her arms up over her head with a smile on her face, wearing a white tank top and white pants.

Album cover for Alanis Morissette's album, Under Rug Swept.

There’s some stunning info in the new @ParklandInst report on surgeries in Alberta…

And it seems pretty clear that private for profit surgeries are choking out the public system.

"With an election coming and their numbers tanking, the Conservatives can’t risk further exposing Poilievre as a weak Trumpist with no ideas who rose to the top of their ranks on the strength of misinformation and endorsements from fascists and alt-right influencers."

Pierre Poilievre's fear of media scrutiny is more proof that he's got something to hide

The Conservatives' unprecedented move to bar the media from travelling with Pierre Poilievre during this election campaign is 100% on-brand.

“A tentative agreement has been reached between the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Calgary Board of Education.

The agreement is for a wage package higher than the original government mandate”

Good.
