Two mornings of breakfast surprises: vegan pancakes, then vegan french toast. And 3 mornings of waking up to more and more riot grrl on the computer, now a huge collection (I lost a lot of my CDs). I love my boyfriend :)
Best surprises EVER.
Food, music and lovin'. What could be better?
Take Back the Night is coming along nicely. It's taking up a lot of my time but it's worth it.
Pride took off pretty well. It forced us to get our asses in gear and now sisterhood watch has pamphlets and a banner. We're trying to decide whether to work on getting enough material for a table at take back the night, or to get the next self-defense workshop ready. Tough decision...
I've been getting into making tee-shirts again. Fun stuff, maded my first two riot grrl shirts the other day and I must say, I'm quite proud. It's nice to feel like I'm finally finding a balance within myself.
Because of all the work I've been doing with sisterhood watch and take back the night, I've come to the conclusion that we REALLY need a riot grrl night in Ottawa. Take Back the Night always has too many volunteers for speakers and performers for their rally and infofair... We need a space for wimmin to come and speak about injustices and actions, to come and perform with their bands, to dance, sing, recite poetry, display their art, to celebrate themselves and their sisters. On nights when we didn't have performers and/or speakers, we could spin some riot grrl, or other grrl-positive music and have a safe space to dance and chill out with allies.
Who wants to help me organize this? I'm sure the rest of sisterhood watch will be down..but we need as many people as possible, I think :)
