Todd Guggenmos Is the Villain, Congratulations Everyone!
Hopefully everyone can rest easy now that Scooby Doo solved this mystery.
I keep promising the Sask Housing piece. I was supposed to finish it yesterday, but I didn’t. I didn’t feel like it. I’ll do it for Tuesday.
Logging on to Twitter yesterday and getting kicked in the face with dozens of Tweets declaring justice served because the Lutheran Church of Canada confirmed what everyone already knew about their employee was so awesome.
So nice everyone was able to share their gratitude for the church and its pathetic investigation.
This is the email I got yesterday at the same time the Lutheran Church sent out their media release, which is a copy and paste of same.
“thousands of tweets over nearly a two year period, many of which belittled, mocked and devalued you and others…”
Congratulations, “others”, I’m so glad this has brought you closure.
Me, I’m sitting here wondering why the church’s intrepid former RCMP investigator, Erin Folk, didn’t forward her file of “thousands” of Tweets to her alma mater, because it’s the definition of criminal harassment and she knows it.
Did the church report the abuse to police?
Baaaahahahahahaha just kidding.
Good news is, though, it still can be reported. I don’t have to be the one who does it. What the Church and the Saskatchewan media failed to tell you is you are welcome to file a complaint with the RCMP or local law enforcement about Todd Guggenmos.
Somebody else can do it; he’s clearly got a ton of victims out there.
I don’t need the churches f*cking “sorrow” and prayers. The Lutheran Church didn’t even have the decency to terminate that sick freak’s employment - they let him resign and walk away quietly, just like Jesus would have done with any of his disciples who did what Todd did in His name.
Lol. Just kidding. Again.
The subsequent Saskatchewan media coverage is mind-bogglingly pathetic. Newsrooms have ignored the harassment I’ve endured for years, whispering behind their hands that you know, maybe she does deserve it.
Maybe she should just Tweet nicer.
Geoff Leo was a good friend - not anymore. The story he busted his ass to have out within minutes of that stupid release going out was absolutely, shockingly and I’m honestly wondering if deliberately really shitty.
The day before I’d called out CBC Saskatchewan for running an op-ed praising Sask Party policy without disclosing the author was a Sask Party policy-writer.
Rawlco Radio, home of John Gormley - the man whose years-long campaign of abuse and hatred for women me inspired and fuelled people like Todd Guggenmos and his idiot sidekicks, Tisdale’s Ken Sherlock and Indian Head area-farmer Curtis Wass - is running the story without even acknowledging my name.
This morning Gormley’s old ass still sat on AM radio, Scott Moe’s head directly lodged inside, screaming toxic, misogynistic misery all over Saskatchewan for men like Todd, Ken and Curtis to keep sucking up.
I mean it’s not just Saskatchewan. God knows I was on the Dean Blundell “network” (not getting paid) for five minutes before one of his morons had me live on his “show”, babbling about how I must be in love with Jeremy MacKenzie, instead of, you know, my work.
That’s never happened to me before, so I guess I’m lucky. I literally sat there in disbelief, watching as another man’s low self-esteem betrayed his inability to interact with a woman professionally, wondering if this was real life.
All this shit and nothing has changed. Not for me, not for Saskatchewan women - and at this rate, it’s not going to happen anytime soon. Local media, so-called leaders, other women - Carla Beck for FFS - have said and done nothing because they are cowards.
Your daughters are going to suffer for all the silence, not me.
Gormley and the Rawlinson brothers still strut around the province like they own it.
I still wake up every morning having a panic attack. Every. Single. Morning. I still walk into every room physically and mentally sick with worry that people believe I’m any of the things that any of these men have said about me over the years.
For the rest of his sad life, when you Google “Todd Guggenmos”, you’ll get news stories about what a sick piece of shit he was. That and his kid’s obituary.
My guess is he already lives his life burning in a hell he’s created for himself. He gets off on dragging others into that pain. I’ve forgiven him and I hope he gets help, for the sake of the people around him.
I pity the sad, weak and emasculated pastors like Todd Guggenmos, and the greasy Ken Sherlocks and Curtis Wasses of this world - but I pity the women that have to wake up to them even more.
Then I thank my own god, remembering my life could be so much worse.
Have a great weekend,
