A benefit for PARC

Parkdale Hall, Thursday, July 23 at 07:00 PM EDT

On July 23rd, in collaboration with SHOUT!, Licentia & the Parkdale Activity and Recreation Centre, 9 MILLION, S.H.I.T., SIYAHKAL, DUCHESS & DIATRIBE are going to play, in Parkdale, at Parkdale Hall, with MEG REMY of US GIRLS DJing between acts.

PARC has been a force in Parkdale for approaching 50 years. They have spent those years providing support for people facing mental health and substance use challenges, homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity. They provide two hot meals a day, housing support, employment support and, most importantly, community.

PARC are literal neighbors of many of the people playing this show.

Recently, as PARC has been focussed on expanding its affordable housing programs, it has come under fire from people who consider them a blight, and would rather see them closed. The enemies of PARC, are the enemies of the Safe Consumption Sites, are the enemies Encampments, are the enemies of dignity and humanity.

So, all proceeds from this event will be going to PARC - to support their initiatives and to continue their good fight.

Beyond the proceeds, and the reason this is happening in Parkdale, this is meant as a true show of support, by the community for the community. There are more of us, than there are of them. This is a great way to prove it, with numbers.

It’s so easy to feel powerless right now. To this feeling, we must not concede. As always, we advise getting together with your people.

Tickets are on sale now. The fine folks at Dice have waived ticketing fees for us on this one. You will only pay the mandatory tax + credit card processing.

There are $30 tickets, $20 tickets for students, and a $60 pay-it-forward ticket that will allow a member of PARC to attend free of charge.

Tickets can be found here. We hope to see you there.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Sarah Ferguson aveva una relazione occasionale con Puff Daddy. Lui si vantava della loro vita sessuale”: l’indiscrezione bomba del Daily Mail

La notizia è clamoroso e ha scosso la Gran Bretagna. Secondo quanto riportato da Andrew Lownie sul Daily Mail, il controverso Puff Daddy – attualmente in carcere per trasporto di persone a fini di prostituzione – era ossessionato da Sarah Ferguson. Un ex dipendente della Bad Boy Records dell’ex magnate avrebbe affermato che il capo “si vantava di aver avuto rapporti sessuali con lei”.
Puff Daddy avrebbe incontrato Sarah Ferguson per la prima volta a New York nel 2002, a una festa organizzata da Ghislaine Maxwell, compagna di Epstein. I due avrebbero iniziato una relazione segreta nel 2004, che sarebbe durata diversi anni.
Lownie ha affermato che Daddy avrebbe persino detto di “non vedere l’ora che le figlie di Fergie raggiungessero la maggiore età”. Si dice che le principesse Beatrice ed Eugenie abbiano incontrato il rapper diverse volte insieme alla madre. Un’altra persona che conosceva il cantante ha anche affermato che il suo profumo Unforgivable, lanciato nel 2006, sarebbe stato ispirato da Sarah e dal suo gusto personale in fatto di profumo maschile.
Si ritiene che la duchessa e il rapper si siano incontrati molte volte in Europa e in Africa, e una fonte ha dichiarato: “Si incontravano in hotel di lusso… Una volta hanno soggiornato in un hotel a sette stelle che costava oltre 50.000 sterline a notte. Non badavano a spese”.
Lownie afferma che una fonte vicina alla famiglia reale avrebbe detto: “Guardate la sua lunga storia. Ogni uomo con cui è uscita o con cui si è associata aveva un passato controverso: tutti hanno un passato squallido e pieno di insidie. Le piace vivere al limite. Non può sistemarsi con un brav’uomo. La annoierebbe a morte”.

Sarah Ferguson had an occasional relationship with Puff Daddy. He bragged about their sexual life: the explosive gossip from the Daily Mail.

The news is shocking and has shaken Britain. According to Andrew Lownie in the Daily Mail, the controversial Puff Daddy – currently in prison for transporting people for the purpose of prostitution – was obsessed with Sarah Ferguson. A former employee of Bad Boy Records, a former magnate, allegedly claimed that the boss “bragged about having sexual relations with her.”

Puff Daddy first met Sarah Ferguson in New York in 2002 at a party organized by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s partner. The two began a secret relationship in 2004, which lasted for several years.

Lownie stated that Daddy even said he “couldn’t wait for Fergie’s daughters to reach adulthood.” It is said that the princesses Beatrice and Eugenie met the rapper several times together with their mother. Another person who knew the singer also claimed that his perfume Unforgivable, launched in 2006, was inspired by Sarah and her personal taste in men’s fragrances.

It is believed that the Duchess and the rapper met many times in Europe and Africa, and a source stated: “They met in luxury hotels… Once they stayed in a seven-star hotel that cost over £50,000 a night. They didn’t care about the expenses.”

Lownie claims that a source close to the royal family said: “Look at her long history. Every man she dated or associated with had a controversial past: everyone has a sordid and treacherous past. She likes to live on the edge. She can’t settle down with a good man. It would bore her to death.”

Robert the Devil

In Latin: Robertus Diabolus.

He’s a legend of medieval origin about a Norman knight who finds out he’s the son of… (bum, bum, buuum!) Satan. This story started in France in the 13th century.

The story goes:

A duchess of Normandy who was tormented with a desire to have kids but couldn’t have any. She got tired of waiting on God (who wasn’t listening to her). So she decides to ask the Devil. The Devil compiles.

A son is born! As an infant, he bites his nurse & pulls her hair out. As a “lad,” he knifes his teachers. At age 20, he became a bandit chief. He’s then dubbed a knight. This was because of the belief that the wicked instincts raging in him would be subdued. But this only made him worse than before. No one could surpass him in strength or in courage.

In a tourney, he overthrows & slays 30 opponents. Then he goes roaming about the world. He then goes back to his homeland. He restarts his banditry – robbing, arson, murdering, ravishing. One day, after unaliving all the nuns of a certain abbey, he remembers his mom. He goes looking for her.

The servants scatter in every direction when they see him coming. No one waits around to talk to him to find out what in the world he wants. Right at this time, Robert had an epiphany. For the 1st time ever, he becomes conscious of his own monstrous wickedness. He becomes remorseful for his actions. He wanted to know what made him the way he was.

Robert then goes to his mom. And at literal sword point, he tells her to tell him the truth about his birth. After learning the truth, he freaks out, man! But his sturdy nature isn’t weakened. He doesn’t despair. Instead, the hope of a laborious redemption, of a marvelous victory, urges & spurs on his proud spirit.

He’ll learn to conquer Hell, to subdue himself, to foil the designs of his dad (Satan), who’s made home a docile instrument of destruction & of sin. He makes no delay. He goes straight to Rome, casts himself to the harshest kind of penance, makes confession to be a holy hermit, & swears that henceforth he’ll taste no food that he hasn’t snatched from the jaws of a dog.

On 2 separate occasions, when Rome was besieged by the Saracens, he fought incognito for the Emperor & gained the W for the Christians. Recognized at last, he refused all rewards & honors, the imperial crown, & even the monarch’s own daughter. He goes away to live as a hermit in the wilderness. He dies a saint, blessed by both God & men.

In other accounts, he finally marries the princess who’s deeply in love with him.

The oldest known account of this legend is a Latin prose narrative by a Dominican Friar, Etienne de Bourbon (circa 1250). It then shows up in a French metrical romance of the 13th century. From France, the legend spread to Spain. In England, the subject was treated in the metrical romance Sir Gowther (circa 14th century). In this version, the devil disguises himself as the mom’s husband.
