I need to rant for a minute.

I live near where the Maine Cheese Festival is: the festival takes place in Pittsfield: a town where there is a lot of poverty. They have made this festival inaccessible to locals by only being able to buy tickets online, and by a super expensive pre-order: $30 per person for basic tickets, even more for early bird tickets. This festival also attracts very rich, often times very rude patrons, who harass locals. There are also a load of really unsafe drivers on the road for this festival, and it gets really hard to get in and out of town.

I think either the cheese festival should relocate, OR they should make tickets more available to locals. I know I would love to meet local cheese vendors (as someone learning to make cheese), but they price out the people living in the area and make it tourist and rich people exclusive. They should not be holding a rich-and-tourist exclusive festival in a non-tourist, very poor area of Maine.

The whole festival is tone deaf and I hope they figure out something soon.

Harmonic convergence

The first night of the Capitol City Film Festival (right here in River City) brought us the documentary "CAMP RiCSTAR", which will be a hard act to follow, indeed.

The film tells story of the Eric "RicStar" Winter Music Therapy Camp in East Lansing, which, for 20 years, has allowed people with disabilities to unleash their inner musicians

I can't claim complete neutrality here. Sharon and I have strong connections to "CAMP RICSTAR":

The movie was produced by our friends, Dick and Judy Winter, who, by the way, created and nurtured the camp in honor of their son Eric, who was born with cerebral palsy and died in 2003 at age 12. Judy and Dick were determed to mine some good out of their tragic loss and, boy, did they strike gold.

As you can see from the photo the film is dedicated, in part, to our daughter Jessica, who died in 2002 at age 25. Jessica also had disabilities. An endowment we established in Jessica's name through the MSU School of Music provides financial support to the camp.

Lord Huron's front man makes a cameo appearance in the film, speaking not only as a musician, but as somebody who witnessed the positive, soothing effect of music on his sister.

The film already has won some big awards and is bound to win more. It's a compelling portrait of the power of music to change lives.

NEW YORK -- Target is removing some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.

“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work," Target said in a statement Tuesday. ”Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior."

Target said that customers knocked down Pride displays at some stores, angrily approached workers and posted threatening videos on social media from inside the stores.

Target declined to specify Wednesday which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were “tuck friendly” women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts. Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company that designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing and accessories, have also created backlash.

The Pride merchandise has been on sale since early May. Pride month is held in June.

Target confirmed that it has moved its Pride merchandise from the front of the stores to the back in some Southern stores after confrontations and backlash from shoppers in those areas.

Target's response to confrontations in its stores is taking place as state legislatures introduce a record number of bills targeting LGBTQ+ individuals.

There are close to 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that have gone before state legislatures since the start of this year, an unprecedented number, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Those efforts focus on health, particularly gender-affirming health care for transgender youth, and education. State legislatures are pushing to prevent discussions in school regarding sexuality and gender identity.

At least 17 states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors, though judges have temporarily blocked their enforcement in some, including Arkansas. An Associated Press analysis found that often those bills sprang not from grassroots or constituent demand, but from the pens of a handful of conservative interest groups.

Target’s Pride month collection has also been the subject of several misleading videos in recent weeks, with social media users falsely claiming the retailer is selling “tuck-friendly” bathing suits designed for kids or in kids’ sizes.

The moves come as beer brand Bud Light is still grappling with a backlash from customers angered by its attempt to broaden its customer base by partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Bud Light's parent company said it will triple its marketing spending in the U.S. this summer as it tries to restore sales it lost after the brand partnered with the transgender influencer.

Target and other retailers including Walmart and H&M have been expanding their LGBTQ+ displays to celebrate Pride month for roughly a decade. This year transgender issues — including gender-affirming health care and participation in sports — have been a divisive topic in state legislatures and the backlash has turned hostile.

Spring in Australia: Tulips at Floriade in Canberra

"Burning Man is an excellent illustration of the corrupting power of money. It took less than 40 years for money to warp an event built around the explicit rejection of conspicuous consumption into a giant neon-lit orgy for rich people

And the real tell is, the people who ran Burning Man never once put up a fight over it. They didn't just accept the perversion of their cause, they defended it. They insisted that stopping it would be contrary to their own founding principles!

That's what money does, even just through simple proximity. It poisons your brain"
