Just some art from the past month or more that I like. Doodle art helps the best to unwind the brain.

Street Spirits Theatre Company was established in Prince George, BC, in 1999. It was a way to get at-risk youth off the streets and engaged in something that they cared about.

On September 17, 1999, Street Spirits did their first ever show at Artspace. It was for CASEY: Community Against Sexual Exploitation of Youth.

Instant success.

The name I'm known by at the Company is Mari, short for Marisa or Merritt, depending on the show. I joined the Company in 2015, when I was 17. After my first month, we did a road show in Burns Lake about peer pressure and sexual harassment in the community by people of authority. It was an intense show. And I was hooked.

In this blog, I want to explore and rant and recall everything and anything Street Spirits. The memories, the shows, the legacy that existed before me. All those tidbits and pieces that made Street Spirits the family I didn't know I needed.

So, welcome to Street Spirits. Does someone have something for circle?

Hello, fellow artists and queers:

I made a second insta account for my queer art and poetry and such, since my first insta has been a jumbled mess since high-school.

If you'd like to follow it, that would be much appreciated!! Queer art coming soon!!

The Ruling Princes and Princesses of Dorne

Leaders of Dorne During and Post Nymeria’s Conquest

Morgan Martell - Wentworth Miller

I just thought it would be cool if the line came from a multiracial Morgan Martell. 

Mors Martell - Miguel Ángel Silvestre

The coming of the Rhoynar to Dorne is clearly inspired by Moorish Spain so I specifically chose a Spanish actor for Mors.

Nymeria of Ny Sar - Sofia Boutella

Since the inspirations for the Rhoynar are Moorish Spain and Dorne is Palestine, I focused on choose Maghrebi/North African and Palestinian faceclaims for the characters from here onward.

I think Sofia actually looks kinda like some of the drawings for Nymeria as well!

Morra Nymeros Martell - Hiam Abbass

I chose the name Morra because I thought Nymeria would want to name her first born, likely knowing there would be some push back against a woman inheriting, after the father whose seat she’d be taking over.

I also thought Morra would likely be a bit older considering Nymeria lived for so long

Mors II Nymeros Martell - Takfarines Bengana

The Red Princes

We aren’t told why they rule together.

I figured that meant either they were triplets and the oldest decided they should rule together, or that the oldest was sickly and decided to give their siblings ruling power to help cover the gaps they wouldn’t be able to fill as a disabled ruler.

With that in mind, I tried to find people around the same age, and gave them all “M” names because George loves naming conventions like that. I like to believe Myria is the oldest and the disabled one, with Mellei as the leader of her forces and Manfrey as her right hand in Sunspear. 

Myria Nymeros Martell - Hafsia Herzei

I completely made this name up

It should be pronounced MY-ree-uh.

I combined the “Ny” sound from Nymeria but with the M from Mors, then added the “ria” because a number of female Dornish names end in “ia.” 

Manfrey Nymeros Martell - Rami Malek 

There’s a Dornish character named Manfrey, one of Doran’s cousins. 

Mellei Nymeros Martell - Nadia Hilker

One of the two servants that Doran assigns to Arianne is named Mellei.

I figured it was likely an old fashioned Dornish name, along with Morra.

really thinking hard about the "prince henry belongs to britain. henry fox has to belong to himself or else...he'll vanish." "can he ever belong to someone else?" "only momentarily." conversation. then immediately transitioning to henry being incredibly vulnerable and open and trusting with alex in the hotel scene. there's something there. do u understand.

[In early May 1967, w]hile the Redlands trio [Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Robert Fraser] awaited trial, DS [Norman] Pilcher raided Brian Jones’s London flat, busting him and his friend Prince Stanislas Klossowski de Rola, the extravagantly named son of the French painter Balthus. Brian and Prince Stash, as he was known for short, were taken down to Kensington Police Station in a blaze of publicity and charged with possession of cocaine and cannabis, Jones charged additionally with possession of cocaine and methedrine. They went from the police station to the new high-rise Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, where the Stones’ new American manager Allen Klein was staying, but the hotel management made it clear that Jones and de Rola were not welcome, which is when Prince Stash took a call from Paul McCartney, whom he knew slightly. Prince Stash explained to Paul that he and Brian couldn’t stay at the Hilton, and couldn’t go back to Brian’s flat because of the press. Brian had other places he could go, but Stash, a foreigner, didn’t know what to do. ‘I’m sending my car and driver right now. You’re packing your bags and moving into my house, and if they want to bust you again they’ll have to bust me as well,’ Paul said. So Prince Stash joined Paul and Dudley at Cavendish Avenue, running movies on Paul’s 16mm projector, taking drugs and entertaining what Stash describes as harems of girls, including a [woman] named Iggy [Evelyn Rose], while Beatles fans camped outside, periodically bursting in through the gates ‘like sort of cattle breaking through a fence’. They’d steal Paul’s laundry and empty his ashtrays—‘Did he smoke this?’—before being ejected.

I mean in Cinderella 3 Prince Charming is pretty unhinged. I'm pretty sure we've all seen the scene where his father forbids him from going down stairs so he just jumps out the window.

I watched the Cinderella sequels more than I watched the original movie as a kid

A small win for pride month. It looks like my local school district will be getting two new union endorsed candidates. Perhaps more importantly we are not getting any bigots.

The runner up (soundly defeated with half as many votes as the new trustees), believe that the First Nations kids were lying about widespread discrimination. He was going to fight and prevent action from being take on discriminatory practices.

One of the losers (who pulled early and spoiled 69 bigots advanced votes) was determined to stop education about Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity . To be clear the school board doesn't make curriculum decisions so he could only have engaged in petty sabotage. He insisted on ignoring a question about collective bargaining to instead rant about "parental rights" before getting shouted down by the town hall audience. He then stormed off saying he "Didn't have time for this".

Local Elections are the most important and the most impactful. Less than 7% of the population voted
