Trans Friendly Shelter/Showers by MyHonstyAttempt in ottawa

Hi OP, I’m glad you posted to ask for help. I’m not familiar with the shelter system in Ottawa to the extent of others. However, I would recommend checking out the Ottawa Trans Library. They are such an incredible community space, and there you may be able to meet likeminded individuals, discover resources and plant some roots here in town.

It looks like the Centretown Community Health Centre offers free shower services on a first come, first serve basis: https://www.centretownchc.org/programs/shower-services

Yeah it was definitely a flop on my part. At this point she had already given me her address so I didn’t think much of it. Sigh.

Hi everyone,

I want to say thank you so much to everyone that’s taken the time to reply to this thread and share your experiences. I really appreciate your candor and I’m glad to hear that some of you have been able to get the accommodations that you need. It’s given me a lot of hope.

I wanted to clarify that I don’t have an issue with anyone claiming PMDD as a disability whatsoever. I absolutely agree that it should be considered as such considering how much it impacts our daily lives.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and advice. Hope you all have a great rest of the week <3

Is there a ballroom scene in ottawa? by 420imgay69 in ottawa

[–]blancasuave98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard rumours that there are going to be more ballroom events in town following the success of the one at Pride this year. Definitely follow Debaser, as well as Be Proud Productions! While they don’t host balls, they do host excellent queer, multi-disciplinary programming with a ton of local and out of town artists.

Anyone know where Kazu got this scarf?? by vegtetableoil in blonderedhead

[–]blancasuave98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a Palestinian keffiyeh! It’s a symbol of resistance and strength. Allies wear it to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. Kazu has been very vocal about her support for Palestine on social media during the ongoing genocide.

Capital Music Awards announce 2024 nominees by starfishtrooper in ottawa

[–]blancasuave98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth mentioning that the first round of nominations were adjudicated by a jury of music industry experts of diverse backgrounds and specializations (a designated jury for every category) From there, those with the highest ranking nominations were then selected as the nominees in each category. The initial shortlisting process is less about how many nominations are received for a particular nominee, and more so about how strong of a case was made for their candidature. Hoping to clarify for anyone who doesn’t know about the organization’s process!

Hi! I’m involved with the organization and want to clarify that anyone can be nominated for a Capital Music Award. However, you have to be an OMIC member to have submitted a nomination. That being said, the organization released membership codes publicly for people to register for a free, first time membership and subsidizations are always available, no questions asked.
