How it started / How it's going.

Tim Houston has lost the confidence of Nova Scotians. The latest approval ratings are out from Angus Reid, and polls show that the premier’s approval rating has dropped ELEVEN points, with 58% of Nova Scotians indicating they “moderately or strongly disapprove” of Houston’s performance as premier in March. The drop in approval ratings is the steepest in the country. Nova Scotians are watching, Premier Houston, and they don’t like what they see!

This is a great time to let your MLA know that you don’t approve of the proposed provincial budget. Call, email, book a meeting with your MLA and let them know that culture is critical, and this budget is not good enough.

Imagine being responsible for one of the most iconic film brand ever produced.

Michael C. Gross (1945–2015) was an American artist, designer, and film producer renowned for creating the iconic Ghostbusters logo. A Pratt Institute alumnus, Gross began his career as art director for National Lampoon (1970–1974), where he designed the infamous “If You Don’t Buy This Magazine, We’ll Kill This Dog” cover. In 1980, he transitioned to Hollywood, working as an associate producer on Ghostbusters (1984). Gross, with artist Brent Boates, refined Dan Aykroyd’s original concept for the “No-Ghost” logo—a cartoonish ghost in a red circle with a slash, initially intended for the Ecto-1 and uniforms. Its clean, universal design became a pop-culture phenomenon, topping Pratt Institute’s 2012 survey of admired alumni icons. Gross’s role extended to managing special effects artists and contributing to films like Heavy Metal and Ghostbusters II, where he redesigned the logo with a two-fingered gesture. His graphic design background, including work for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and John Lennon, shaped his versatile career. Gross later retired to painting and photography in California, passing away from cancer in 2015. His logo remains a timeless symbol of the Ghostbusters franchise.

JUST saw this post on BSKY and had to share it out. Cannot express how much I love this. Getting folks to see and care enough to engage is a daily struggle. Likes are not even a good indicator of engagement anymore as folks are ingesting your content but not commenting or even liking it. Which leaves so many to feel alone and unseen. We hear the eco of 'like and subscribe' all the time but if you read something take a moment and like it, share it and even comment.

And if you are on BLSKY follow https://bsky.app/profile/onurm1.bsky.social

Let folks KNOW you are there and that you are engaged with them. We are all in this together folks
