Challenges (POWER's Report) and Other Things.
Okay.
So, first thing: Last night, Ghost and I went to POWER’s launch of their report Challenges: Ottawa Area Sex Workers Speak Out (which I seriously encourage ALL of you to read, particularly if you are involved in sex work and/or are Canadian – as their finding are reflected in cities across the country).
You can read (and comment) about the launch and, more the point, the report here.
Also: Please link the hell out of the report PDF, as I (and they) want it to be as widely distributed as possible!
Second thing: The report is really, really good. WELL DONE POWER! :-D
Third thing: Tonight, Ghost and I are going to the first meeting of Ottawa’s brand new MasT chapter. Which is at 7pm at PTS (I think it’s being started up by some of the guys in the Ottawa Knights?) I’d link it if I had better information. (I’ll try to update this later from a non-firewalled computer).
I’m hoping it goes well. (I’d love to be throwing this up on the HOWL group, for example…)
I’ll see what I can dig up.
Hoy.
Plans for this weekend include: My sweetie’s work xmas party (mwahaha – I’ve been told in no uncertain terms that We Can Only Go If You PROMISE Not To Smack My Boss. So he’s safe. I can put the Irate Gloves away when required. ;-) as well as hunting up chunky 2nd-hand sweaters to use as knitted fabric for sewing projects AND making a bunch more ring-style necklaces. Mwahahahaha. :-)
Wish me luck! :-D
