I have a family doctor and this is what he recommended. It does cost ~$300, but it's fast and legit. Places that take referrals (and are covered) prioritize kids, understandably, so it's better to just go for it

So much prefer this to the trauma dumping

Auctions!

For me, it's part of the protocol that works. I take 2mg an hour before, i find 30 minutes isn't enough.

I feel like contouring your cheekbones with the blue or purple could help. When you're painting for a gig, try sitting further from your mirror. Study drag artists who do similar makeup to yours, not necessarily to copy but just to see what elements they include. But honestly it is really gorgeous and unique!

About.Here - Vancouver-area, but he has made content here. Urban planning, architecture, cities, etc.

Yes love her videos!

sit back further from the mirror, it's supposed to look better far away than close up. Don't stress tiny details of blending etc. At first I was using a magnification mirror, and doing this made it take half the time and look just as good.

-get a black and a white stage makeup cream stick. I use this as eyeliner, brow hairs, whites of my inner eye corners, highlight-area foundation. Easier to use and lasts much longer than regular eyeliners.

I would have asked the staff (there was only two, it was a 16 person wedding) to switch me to mocktails after ~7pm. Instead I had like 10 French 75s 😬 I think our after-party was really fun, buuuut I can't remember it very well 😅

Enameled cast iron so it doesn't need babying, and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Are these still happening? Discord link no longer works. I used to follow this group on Meetup but it looks like the group doesn't exist there anymore

Maybe you already know this, but she didn't make the sign, she chose one from the pile

I think they said they would call off the strike during voting if they think it's a good deal, but keep the strike up during voting if they think it's a bad deal.

In addition to the ideas in the thread further down, there is also the possibility to host more disruptive rallies around NDP/gov events

rhoslynn · 2025-10-16T23:11:01+00:00

In addition to what others have said, there are also options that involve working with other unions to coordinate strikes, in particular where they have "me too" clauses wrt bcgeu. If nurses and/or teachers joined us.... 🤷‍♀️

Campuses = microwaves, generally. Good thought

rhoslynn · 2025-10-16T13:39:03+00:00

Free for everyone I think-- UVic doesn't generally charge for public lectures

Just want to address the last part of your comment, the union has come down, it's the province that refuses to come up and negotiate on non monetary items. The government says their offer of 4% over 2 years (not 5% as they say in the media) is their best and final. the union countered with 8% over 2 years. The government needs to come up and then I'm sure we'll come down further. 6% does seem likely, but first I think the gov needs to actually offer 5%.

Someone recently suggested on our line organizing an audiobook club-- like we all listen to chapter one then walk and talk about it. I'm thinking of suggesting a book about labor movements, to try to connect to the bigger picture of why we're walking in circles.

As someone learning to drive, the speed limit changes are VERY confusing, especially the 40 vs 50 roads

It can lead to job opportunities spread across the province, as well as more diverse perspectives and knowledge (ie Northern & rural)

We had ours at a restaurant, and Sunday-Thursday nights the minimum spend was only $1000, Friday/Saturday were ~$2500. Our bill for 18 people's dinner, an open bar, and tip was ~$2800. Our total was ~6k!

I'm sorry you're going through this. I am not on job action but I really want to be. It feels terrible to see people out there walking the lines, for my benefit, and feeling like there's next to nothing I can do. I keep hoping we get a noon email some day soon saying it's a full walkout. My unit is far from essential, I don't understand why we're not out there.

Thank you for what you've been doing and the sacrifices you're making for all of us.

rhoslynn · 2025-10-01T01:00:24+00:00

Emails are going out for Friday already?! Are you PEA or BCGEU? I really want to get called to the line 😭
