If you live in the Hogtown area, you should come to this.

Oh yes, and any suggestions of where I can crosspost this without being accused of spamming? So far it'll be on E-Left, Revolutionary Left (hahahaha!), and in NOW Magazine. There is a Toronto activist LJ community, but it seems to be small and inactive.

The Unpopular Front fundraising concert/bakesale got cancelled, though. I am irked, as I was rather looking forward to baking bonehead cookies.

I'm tired, in general.

you could bake them anyway!

we could eat them of a knitting night, dunking them, bathing their tasty stubbly heads in the tea of diversity and tolerance (or, pardon me, acceptance).

[sabotabby]

This is true, and it really wouldn't hurt to practice my baking skills before inflicting them on the general public.

Or, I could come up with something clever to bake for this event. Little red stars, anyone?

So you decided to go with Wobblies after all. Did you dislike 9 to 5?

I'm tired, in general.

Read some comics.

Oh, and while we are on the subject, some warnings. The Cowboy Wally Show is Baker's first solo effort and the beginning is kind of plot-less and wandering, so if it starts to drag (and it shouldn't), skip ahead to the "Sands of Blood" chapter, which actually begins a few pages before the splash page. Also, his collaboration with Aaron McGruder does knowingly play with Arab stereotypes to fuck with the audience, but see it through.

We'll see if my eyes still work by the end of the day.

I didn't see 9 to 5, but since we were running short on time, we figured we'd go with the movie we thought was relevant. It's a copy that Alexis burned, though, so we might need a backup movie in case it doesn't play on the DVD player there.

I.W.W.

Oh I'm much too cool now. Went to the Scottish Socialist conference to work at a stall, and bought a beautiful I.W.W. tee shirt in red. But my hubby wants one in black and they only had a small which wouldn't fit his left tit. These came from the US, so I was wondering if you know where I can find them in Canada even? Its just a plain tee shirt with the cat with 'the working class and the employing class have nothing in common' at the bottom. Thank you kindly.

Hey, they had small ones? I always get annoyed because they only make larger sizes. (Except the Milwaukee branch that printed women's sizes, bless their hearts.)

I've seen the ones you're talking about; I think the Ottawa branch has a bunch. (lovableatheist would know. Short of that, you could order them off the website.

The best t-shirts are the ones rohmie made, though. ;)

Great deal. Found it, and even better that its quoted in dollars
rather than pounds, so its almost free. :-) He's quite chuffed I found it.
They have smalls at this Cincinnati address, you tiny thing you.

[lovableatheist.livejournal.com]

I don't think our branch (Ottawa-Outaouais) has any more t-shirts, but I think we put ijn an order for more recently. I'm not in charge of lit and t-shirts and stuff, so I'm not 100% sure. I think your best bet would be to order some from the website.

Re: I.W.W.

[ocicat-bengals.livejournal.com]

Done and bookmarked. Oh PayPal....damn they make it too simple to order my spring wardrobe. Thanks.

I really like the design of that flyer. Do you know what the image is from? I'm wondering if it's supposed to be of Ben Fletcher and Philadelphia Dockworkers around 1920.

[sabotabby]

Thanks! It's from Wobblies!, but I don't remember that particular artist's name. I can look it up when I get home...

[threeliesforone.livejournal.com]

i thought the toronto activist community was small & deleted? or did someone start up another one?

[sabotabby]

There's one called torontoresist, but there's about two members or something.

What was the name of your (freelancers'?) union again? I'm writing a screenplay. Of course, it's going to be Wobbly-hating and kitten-cruillers-eating and stuff.

[sabotabby]

It's called the Canadian Freelance Union. And this is their website. I'm not a member, though.
