bedded time! I do not know why my tall roommate says it is uncomfortable for me to fall asleep on his arm and push away from him so far that if he wants to not drop my whole self right down on the floor, he needs to hold his arm outstretched as a platform for my whole potato body with only my leggies on the couch itself! it is very comfortable for me so maybe he is doing it wrong!

Gardening Hints
I piss in my garden
to mark my territory
to leave a trace of testosterone
to repel
squirrels racoons skunks
to put them off with my humanness
with my masculinity
my scent is more effective
than my shouting
my chicken wire
an electrified fence

technology doesn’t deter them
I have to reveal my animal

with their nocturnal habits
they are…

a painting called “the storm” and a statue of Neptune
my amazing friend and i took a trip to the art gallery of ontario in november before the snow. it was such an amazing experience, i haven’t been there since i was very young and seeing all the art work made me feel inspired to create again. since school ended for this semester, i have been putting a ton of my focus into my creative pursuits (and completely forgot to update😅). once the new semester starts up again, i’ll be posting much more.
the first is a photo of my favourite pieces and the second is a photo of a piece from their contemporary collection

"The Waitresses Action Committee [WAC]’s success in garnering public support was evident in the letters of protest sent to the Minister of Labour and the Minister of Industry and Tourism. Thoughtful and sometimes extensive, these letters described women’s structural disadvantages in the workforce as well as the inherent unfairness of the [wage] differential. A mere $2.65 an hour was “scarcely enough to live on,” wrote the Christian Resource Centre, while the YWCA pointed out that women in general made 55 per cent of a male wage, and there already was a “differential” in the restaurant industry as women were relegated to lower-wage venues. The Law Union of Ontario laid out a long list of objections, including the fact that a tip differential would further disadvantage workers who were seldom unionized and thus some of the most economically vulnerable – those who “can least afford it.” Moreover, the differential would set a dangerous precedent for other business lobbies. Some letters to the Minister of Labour came from natural allies: two NDP riding associations, Times Change Women’s Employment Service, and the Northern Women’s Centre and Women’s Resource Centre in Thunder Bay and Timmins, respectively. Others indicated the WAC’s persuasive ability to reach out to less obvious supporters, such as the Business and Professional Women’s Club of Fort Frances, which endorsed the brief. So too did the Thunder Bay city council.
Waitresses also responded individually with calls and letters to the WAC. These were not simply the result of the WAC’s smart communication skills. Waitresses were angry. What the WAC outlined – uncertain employment, wage theft, sexualization, “hustling” for a tip – applied everywhere, and women had had enough. They wanted copies of the brief, the petition, information on what they could do, or simply to vent their unhappiness with wages and working conditions. A few wrote directly to Labour Minister Bette Stephenson. The “work is no joy,” wrote one Thunder Bay waitress at a licenced steakhouse; it entailed constant stress from uncertain pay, fear of losing the job, and “boorish [customer] behaviour” that “drove her to tears…. Something happens to people when they are hungry,” she concluded. “They become less than human.” A former waitress who had worked in other countries, even as a maître d’, identified exploitation as transnational: “It has always been a slave trade, with the poorest working conditions, paying the lowest wages.”
As the government dug in its heels on the differential in 1978, a Kitchener waitress blasted Stephenson. The government policy was “sexist” since it discriminated against most women at “less classy establishments,” and it ignored all waitresses’ unpaid labour. In her job, she filled in for other workers; as a result, only 50 per cent of the time was she even able to get tips. The government also ignored the health hazards of the job, including noisy, smoky bars where waitresses “risked being injured in fights between customers.” Some waitresses, she wrote, spent their paltry “nickels and dimes” tips on taxis to get home late at night. She identified the true culprit – the tourist industry, demanding small savings “on the backs of the hired help” – and suggested that the business lobby’s comparisons with American wages was “unfair to Canadian workers.” She ended with a comparison the WAC also made in its publicity: “I find it ironic,” she wrote, that “well paid” government officials, who voted on their own pay increases, were depriving waitresses of “25 to 50 cents” an hour.
Finger pointing about the class interests of the government were apparent in other protest letters. “We need an equitable incomes policy, not one that decreases the earnings of working people in lower economic brackets,” wrote a woman from West Hill. “I wonder when the government will treat working people as well as they do [those] in the upper middle class.” Others implied that the Tories, eating at “high class” establishments, naturally did not understand the issue, while one letter offered a sarcastic take on Premier Davis’ recent election slogan: “Davis for all the people – well, just not waitresses.”
