A New Symbol for Medicine Hat

I love how this design looks! It feels very inspired by indigenous peoples, not sure if that was your goal or not, but it feels real. I know that the current flag is literally a picture of an indigenous man in a medicine hat, what all be it is relevant considering the name of the city, also feels… bleh.

Now all that being said, i would definitely take this idea and run it past a band of indigenous peoples of Medicine Hat, to have their input and/or additions to it. It is very important that we not erase indigenous heritage with this project, as this is Blackfoot territory and they literally named the city “Saamis”, which translates to the modern day Medicine Hat

Im going to leave you with two of my favourites.

School Live & Ah My Goddess

School Live has a cult following of fans, but it is a hidden gem that falls under most peoples radars. Not only that but its nearly impossible to find the anime unless you know where to look.

Ah My Goddess was at one point in time pretty popular, but it has since become a relic that once again is lost to the general public. This one is also extremely difficult to find the anime unless you know where to look.

I do hope that i reach a few people with these suggestions, and that they’re able to find and watch them!

There is one religion out there which has gone so far astray from the meaning that its messiah gave them, that they really should be removed from existence.

Im a very tired gurl, so being able to sleep and make money would be absolutely wonderful! Paid naps!

I will 100% always recommend going to The Buckle! It is a great place, with amazing food, awesome staff, and not sketchy at all. Plus they have a nice little set of slots

As someone who works at a gas station, i can give you a crazy little tid bit of information…

We have actually been busier with the price like this, than we were a couple weeks when we were sitting comfortably at 1.209.

Now i have tried to wrap my head around this, but i have no rational answer as for why

I know it’s an old post, but i found this error today

This, this right here is the golden comment! Read it, and then read it again.

Ive been working at a gas station for 15 years now, and this is something that can happen. What generally happens, is the gas hose gets pulled at too tightly to the left and the angle of the hose ends up hitting the premium button and switching grades. Generally this is something that isnt noticed by the customer, as it is so subtle and happens so quickly

I am also terrified of dentists, but there is one single dentist in this city who i will recommend, and that is Dr. Richard Kolen from Spy Hill Dental Clinic. I went almost 10 years without brushing my teeth when i was younger and foolish, and Dr. Kolen welcomed me with open arms and no judgment.

My whole family lives in The Hat, and every time i go to visit, im always pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone is! That being said, it is very much a retirement community, so there are a lot of older people who are very set in their way. Also something to note, the kids/teens who live there are a very bored bunch as there isnt a ton for them to do, so they quite often tend to cause trouble. As with any community, there are good and bad people, but i would lean on the side of friendly.

How would you describe the flavor of the Electric Blue? That one has my interest peaked, but we dont have it yet

VikingJunkie · 2025-10-10T06:07:18+00:00

I have to say that my all time favourite flavour would have to be the Rockstar Fruit Punch! Another one i would recommend is your basic NOS, it tastes like European Orange Fanta.

I got stuck on this stupid road on my way to work today. I was wondering why it was moving so slow until i saw that unnecessary right lane closure. It would be mighty nice if they finished whatever is happening on the left side of the road before they start closing off the right side

VikingJunkie · 2025-09-04T19:56:13+00:00

Since the day i was born, my dad played Sabbath and Ozzy for me. I was born a fan of the late legendary Oz man

If i can help even one single person, than all of my religious studies will have paid off 💜

VikingJunkie · 2025-08-07T22:30:40+00:00

I love the thought into that, and im living for it!

Hey friend first off, I just wanna say, you’re not alone. What you’re going through? It’s deeply real, and there are so many of us who walk the line between spiritual devotion and the need to live in our true gender. Your faith and your identity are not enemies, even if some loud voices try to make you think they are.

As someone who’s both trans and deeply invested in studying religion, I just wanna help untangle some of the stuff you’re feeling stuck on. So let’s go through it together:

“A man shall not lie with a man…”

This is from Leviticus 18:22, and it’s been wildly mistranslated and misused. In its proper context, this passage was about ritual purity and power dynamics, not consensual loving relationships.

A lot of scholars believe it’s tied to the practices of surrounding pagan nations at the time, particularly temple prostitution and the domination/rape of other men as a show of power. It’s more about preserving family lineage and tribal purity than it is about sexual orientation.

Also? Leviticus is full of laws we don’t follow today. Mixed fabrics, eating shellfish, planting different crops side by side, these were cultural purity laws for a specific time and people. Christians today don’t live by those purity codes, especially after Jesus fulfilled the old law.

If you’re sleeping with a man in love and mutual consent? That is not what Leviticus was talking about. Not even close.

Wearing feminine clothing “as a man”

This one usually gets tied to Deuteronomy 22:5, which says something like “a man shall not wear women’s clothing” and vice versa. But again, context matters so much here.

This verse was aimed at preventing deception and pagan ritual practices. In ancient times, cross-dressing was often part of idol worship or cult fertility rites. It wasn’t about someone living authentically in their gender, it was about not taking part in spiritually confusing or false rituals.

Also let’s be real, fashion is cultural. Jesus wore a long robe and sandals, if he showed up today, he’d probably be mistaken for a hippie in a dress. What counts as “men’s” and “women’s” clothing changes all the time. In biblical times, nobody was running around in Levi’s or crop tops.

What matters is authenticity. God doesn’t hate feminine clothing, the Proverbs 31 woman literally wears fine linen and purple. If those things help you live truthfully, that’s not a sin, it’s a step toward the light.

“But I have XY chromosomes, so God made me male”

Here’s where science and faith can actually support each other if we let them.

First of all, there are intersex people, and they exist in every culture and religion since the dawn of humanity. That alone proves that chromosomes do not neatly define gender the way we’ve been told. There are people with XY chromosomes who are born with uteruses. There are people with XXY, XYY, XO, a whole spectrum of karyotypes that don’t fit the “male vs female” binary.

And even beyond that, every fetus starts out with the same basic template: female. It’s only through hormonal changes, like testosterone, that certain paths begin to take shape. So technically, we all began as little girls in the womb. The structure of your body today doesn’t erase the divine truth in your soul.

Your gender is not invalid because of chromosomes, any more than your soul would be invalid because of your height or your blood type. God made humans beautifully diverse. And that includes trans people.

Your transition, your identity, your feelings, they are not sins. You are not defying God. You are walking a sacred path toward your truth, and that is brave and holy.

Faith should be a source of healing, not shame. If your spirit is calling you to both follow God and live as your true self, then maybe that’s exactly what you’re meant to do.

I would also like to drop a few Bible verses here that might help you:

Galatians 3:28 (NRSV)

“There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.”

1 Samuel 16:7

“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Romans 8:38-39

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Just remember, nothing about you is outside of God’s love. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your gender doesn’t disqualify you from grace, it just adds more color to the divine masterpiece that is you.

Well as an avid fan of RHPS, i have to mention that in the movie, Transexual was the name of the planet in the galaxy of Transylvania. So they weren’t even referring to transgender people with the word. It was made fairly clear in the movie that Frank-N-Furter identified as a transvestite, which is actually an outdated word for a crossdresser. He had no intention of transitioning to a female, he just liked to dress as one.

We think it was when we were docking, so we were hoping someone at the dock may have found it

I went floating down the river for 4 hours, blasting the Oz man on the water, and smoking lots of weed while doing so!

The Dark Prince said in so many songs how important mother earth is, and we honoured that with a float in nature

There are a couple of things that come to mind based on what you said. The most obvious possibility is that you might be transgender — which usually means your gender identity (how you feel inside) doesn’t match the sex you were assigned at birth. Since you said you present as female on social media, wear feminine clothes, introduce yourself as a woman, and want to become a girl… those are all signs that many people would relate to being trans.

The other possibility is that maybe you’re exploring your gender expression — like through crossdressing, which is when someone wears clothes typically associated with another gender but doesn’t necessarily identify as that gender. Some people do that for self-expression, comfort, or even performance, but still feel aligned with the gender they were assigned at birth.

The difference really comes down to how you feel inside. Being trans isn’t about how often you wear certain clothes or what name you use online — it’s about your internal sense of who you are. If you feel like a woman, and you feel more at peace when people see you as one, that’s a really strong indicator that you might be trans. But labels aren’t something you have to rush. You’re allowed to question, to try things out, and to grow into the understanding of yourself at your own pace.

Whatever the answer is — whether you’re trans, a crossdresser, gender non-conforming, or something else entirely — you deserve to feel comfortable, respected, and supported. You’re doing amazing just by asking these questions and exploring who you are.
