A Vancouver woman who is eight months pregnant says her landlord is threatening to raise the rent once her child has been born.
Joy Maynard and Antoine Moore are expecting their first child any day and have been living in their Vancouver basement suite since April 2021.
They told their landlord earlier in the summer about the pregnancy and Maynard said he informed them that his son is the owner of the house so they need to be talking to his son about these matters.
That’s when they said they were informed that any additional occupant would cost them $600 a month.
“We also told them that my mom is coming to visit. The son said that my mom is going to be considered an occupant,” Maynard said.

Castaways (#2 in my Quest for the Gorgon head series)
After the miracualous conception, Danae gives birth to a demi-god son she names Perseus. King Akrisios, not believing the child to have been born of Zeus, and to punish her, places her and the child into a chest and casts them into the sea. the pair find safe passage to the shore of Seriphos. Here they are rescued upon the coast by a fisherman, Diktys, who raises Perseus. But Diktys brother is king Polydektes, who, becoming enamoured with Danae, seeks to remove the protective Perseus from his path of desire.
What I find fascinating about this plot point is it being an early example of the "child surviving sure death to fulfill destiny as the chosen one" archetype. From the Book of Exodus (600 B.C.) we have a similar structure of abandonment, rescue from water, and adoption by royalty. In Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh ordered the slaughter of Israelite children, so Moses'  mother placed him within a basket, and cast him off into the Nile, to later be discovered and adopted by the Egyptian royal family. 
It also brings to mind another similar structure used by Sophocles in his famous tragedy "Oedipus Rex." (429.B.C.) Queen Jocasta, hearing a prophecy that her son will kill his father (her husband) gives the baby away to a shepherd to leave out exposed on a mountain side, but the shepherd saves the baby's life, thus allowing Odepis to live on to fulfill the prophecy. But that's a tale for another time.

Pottery, swords and jewelry: Rich Stone Age and early medieval graves found in Germany
Tumblr media
Archaeological treasures, including Stone Age pottery and medieval graves with swords and jewelry, have revealed a long history of human habitation near the Danube River in Germany.
At the site, in the Geisingen-Gutmadingen district of Tuttlingen, in southwestern Germany, archaeologists discovered one grave from the Neolithic, or Stone Age, that dates to the third millennium B.C. and contains distinctive pottery from the Corded Ware culture. They also found 140 early medieval graves, dating to between A.D. 500 and 600, that contain goods including swords, lances, shields, bone combs, drinking glasses and earrings.
"Our Gutmadingen district is probably much older than we previously assumed," Mayor Martin Numberger said in a statement. The district had previously been dated to 1273 based on the first written records of settlement there. Read more.

Living His Word
Tumblr media
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. — Proverbs 3:5-6
One of the key features of Western civilization is a strong commitment to reason and understanding. This feature began around 600 B.C. as a reaction to the mythology of the Greek people. Rather than faith in irrational myths, early Greek philosophers proposed that one should rely on reason based on evidence for the answers to the big questions of life.
The trouble with this decision, however, is that reason proved to be an inadequate substitute for faith. Since reason is limited to evidence derived from within the created order, it has difficulty providing definitive answers as to how the whole created order was set up in the first place, or providing definitive answers to any of the other big questions of life---questions like: What does it mean to be human? Why is there sin and evil? What is the solution to sin and evil?
Christianity is another key feature of Western civilization. Beginning around 100 A.D. Christians began to challenge the Western commitment to reason and understanding. What's needed to definitively answer the big questions of life for a person, they proclaimed, is not reason based on evidence, but faith based on the true revelation of God. Only God, the true source and origin of the created order, can give us the proper perspective on its meaning and purpose.
Our verses for today have important things to say in support of the Christian position on these matters. If you want to live your life right, if you want straight paths, then stop trying to figure everything out on your own, stop relying on your own limited understanding. Instead, trust in God. God makes Himself and what He requires of us known in His revelation to us, primarily and authoritatively in the Bible, and we should have faith in Him and follow His ways. Doing so enlightens us with the answers to the big questions of life and helps us straighten out the crookedness in our lives.
Reason has its place, but even reason needs the guidance only true faith can provide. Indeed, some of the most crooked and distorted products of reason have come from the minds of intelligent men and women who forsook trust in the Lord and leaned on their own understanding.

“Greetings my dear readers! We are continuing the “happy pride month” posts with some help of my friend @the-artist-from-hell , also known as “juni!” They will be taking over the explanation from now on but still posting the pride facts and history here because this is there more prominent blog- I mean MY blog… yes-
“Any ways moving on! Take it away juniper!”
‘Alright then! Thanks shrimp!
Today we are learning about the “L” in LGBTQ! the L Of course stands for lesbian! Did you know that the label “lesbian(s)” is derived from the Greek island of “Lesbos”?
“What does some Greek island have to do with lesbians?” you may ask- well Because it’s well known for a famous past resident from 600 B.C named “Sappho” ((that’s also where we get the idea of the word “sapphic” when describing romance between feminine people)) she was known for being a great female poet who was openly attracted to woman… her writing was very erotic, and may I add this wasn’t common to see at that time- especially in writing from a woman.
Sappho lived in a time when women were not thought to be intellectuals nor sexual beings—especially without the participation of a man. How two women could be erotically connected was baffling to those at the time. Yet, despite this controversy Sappho was respected as a writer.
So now you know! And remember have fun this pride! Stay safe! And maybe read some lgbtq inspired poetry in memory of the great Sappho!

Advocates are calling for more regulation around maximum temperatures in rental housing units. Some municipalities in B.C. have mandated minimum temperatures in rental homes but there are no existing rules for maximum heat levels. Following the heat dome in 2021, when more than 600 people died, extreme heat events have become a health issue as well as a housing one. Emily Rogers, the director of operations with Together Against Poverty, said it is time to look at how hot it has to be before a landlord must install something to keep the heat down. “The burden of action should be on the landlord in terms of equal temperatures,” she said, adding that could mean providing an air conditioner or fans. “At the end of the day, it’s the landlord’s responsibility to provide a home that ‘s safe — and that includes extreme heat.”
