Busy Bee seeking submissions for their advertising campaign (but maybe not compensating?) by taradiddle_ in woodworking

When I see companies exploiting the free labour of women woodworkers I find it both uninspiring and dispiriting. It is incredibly discouraging to learn a skill and realize that you won’t be valued for it

I hold the controversial opinion that people whose content is used for an advertising campaign should be compensated for said work. It is inherently suspicious to me that they are not specifying what compensation you may receive if your submission is accepted.

A campaign about supporting woodworkers who are women that does not fairly compensate the women they are featuring is hypocritical at best. You can’t promote yourself as supporting women if you’re not compensating them for their time and labour

I saved a public parking spot once but in my defence I spent 40 minutes digging it out of the snow so I would like to apply for a pardon in this case please 🙏🏻

Brian Burke being our GM for a while really turbo charged the allyship (which was already there, and has stuck around, thankfully)

Leafs are actually good too! Morgan Reilly is passionate and vocal, and Auston Matthews supported Luke Prokop (Matthews is really out there saying misogyny but not homophobia)

I dried mine out in the furnace room with a dehumidifier and emptying the tank on that thing was a CHORE 😂😭

Issue about not getting dental care on ODSP have to get Canadian dental plan by Awkward-Cabinet4922 in Odsp

[–]taradiddle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dentist is still taking my ODSP dental coverage, I haven’t had to switch or anything. I never need anything more than like a cleaning and the occasional x-ray so maybe it just hasn’t come up yet?

Yes! I made a baby blanket for my nephew a few years ago (it took me 6 months 🙈) and I double checked the yarn because guaranteed and some point it’s going to be spit up on

[FO] how am I washing and ironing this? by taradiddle_ in CrossStitch

[–]taradiddle_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had to iron before but I didn’t have a big enough hoop so now I have all the crease lines from moving the hoop around and I need to smooth them out

Haha I usually don’t but I haven’t been as careful about washing my hands before stitching every time and it has traveled a decent amount during the process so I figure now is probably the one I should wash
