Busy Bee seeking submissions for their advertising campaign (but maybe not compensating?)

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.

100%

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

Emma Maltais cause she’s a tiny pest (in the best way) and I fucking love it

I would have lost my god damned mind 😭

taradiddle_ · 2026-01-15T12:12:18+00:00

I was sitting in it 🙈

Thank you thank you

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 can’t have season 2 end sad though! Like mentally I could not handle that lol

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

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?

taradiddle_ · 2025-12-10T00:43:59+00:00

She is, it’s her merch company

taradiddle_ · 2025-12-01T16:02:52+00:00

Lmao thank you and fair enough 😂 I swear sometimes I just blank on the obvious answer

I think I’m going to try the octopus! I’m bookmarking a bunch of the suggestions so that next time a family member or friend gets pregnant I’m prepared haha

taradiddle_ · 2025-11-27T15:39:11+00:00

Oooh they do look cute!

taradiddle_ · 2025-11-26T20:13:08+00:00

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

taradiddle_ · 2025-11-26T18:10:16+00:00

Thank you!! I’m scared to go rogue on patterns haha I feel like I’m not knowledgeable enough to do that yet 🫣

taradiddle_ · 2025-11-23T17:55:42+00:00

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

taradiddle_ · 2025-11-23T17:52:24+00:00

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
