Opening a recent article in The Walrus, Kevin Patterson evoked the Nanaimo of a few decades ago. What he described sounds in many ways rougher than what you might picture today.

Don't Be a Jerk at Work

Most of us who have the privilege to be able to keep our jobs (and are likely working from home) during this global pandemic feel pretty darn lucky. Many who are working from home even prefer it! But with the holidays approaching, it got us thinking about the parties we are going to miss out on this year -- the ones we liked going to, and the ones, as HR, we hated planning. This year, it is a different conversation and it goes something like this: how can we, as leaders, create meaningful conditions of connection? How do we celebrate together without overwhelming each other? What kind of connection do people need or expect? Great. This planning seems EVEN harder than chicken, fish or vegan! Key Takeaways: Find ways to provide different options for people to participate, so it’s not simply another large virtual gathering. Maybe it’s an opportunity to try something new that always got ex-nayed in the past. If you are organizing a company holiday activity, make it truly optional! That also means no judgy judgerson if employees don’t show up. As the pandemic and the safety protocols have continued, we just may miss the holiday party more than we anticipated. Bah, COVIDbug. Holiday Bonus Takeaway: Sarah makes delicious Nanaimo Bars!! She uses sea salt on the top...amazing!

Shakespeare's original comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream follows young lovers and old lovers into the mystical, natural space of the forest, where the rules don't apply the way they do anywhere else. Continuing the increasing sophistication of his plays of late, Shakespeare comments on both the nature of love and the nature of the theatre. Join us as we discuss one of our favourite of the Bard's comedies! Notes: - The content of 1 Corinthians is partly mixed up by Nick Bottom after his sojourn in the woods; it's one of the most famous parts from the New Testament, and passages from it are routinely recited at weddings (much like Shakespeare's sonnets!) - Joseph Campell's monomyth and later amendments by scholars like David Adams Leeming discuss the mythological underpinnings of the journey all heroic figures take as their stories are told; though not a strictly heroic tale, Midsummer does borrow from these ideas to describe the journey of the lovers from civilization to chaos and back again. - For more discussion about forests and liminal spaces, check out this blog post - Read up on the Coffee Shop AU, a common trope in the world of fanfiction - A funny version of the Tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe, starring The Beatles, from 1964 for Shakespeare's 400th birthday -- a must watch! - We had the opportunity to chat with John Bernardy of 25YL Site about the thematic links between Midsummer and our old fave, Twin Peaks -- check out our discussion about faeries and Lodges and forested liminal spaces (oh my!) - If you haven't seen the 1999 theatrical version of this play, we recommend it! - ...and if you don't know what Nanaimo Bars are, here's a recipe Ancient Bickerings Of all the pairings and couplings going on in A Midsummer Night's Dream, which couple is our favourite?
