M. O. Drouin au club Canadien ---- L'honorable Oscar Drouin, ministre du commerce, de l'industrie et des affaires municipales était hier, l'hôte d'honneur au dîner des maîtres-imprimeurs de Montréal tenu au Club Canadien.

Dans une causerie à l'issue de ce diner, Thon. M. Drouin déclara "Les Canadiens", dit-il, "doivent faire en sorte d'avoir leur part dans les contrôles économiques établis par le gouvernement fédéral".

Puis le conférencier s'unit le plus sincèrement du monde à ceux qui demandent à la population de souscrire le plus possible à l'emprunt de la Victoire qui permet à ceux qui ne peuvent aller combattre d'aider à poursuivre l'effort de guerre.

M. Drouin félicita chaleureusement les membres de l'Association des maîtres-imprimeurs de Mont réal pour les beaux succès qu'il ont jusqu'ici réalisés.

Présenté par M. Emile Arbour, président de l'Association, M. Drouin fut remercié par M. Oscar Roy. MM. Alfred G. Sinel, president de la Employing Printers Association of Montreal et Esdras Thérien, d'Ottawa et président de Association des maîtres-imprimeurs d'Ottawa-Hull, prenaient place à la table d'honneur. M Charles Holmes, secrétaire de l'Association, dit aussi quelques mots.

fucking. bless. the semi-annual local big tent tag sale held by the guy who runs a business cleaning out houses

we've been going for years (since before it moved to the next town over) but we've never scored a haul like we did today, which included a lot of really amazing shit but also one absolutely unbelievable, holy grail type find

we were browsing one of the vendor booths when @sadish-radish noticed a large cardboard box on the ground with Japanese text all over it, which they told me they started sounding out for fun before seeing that it also said RISO in English. they grabbed me & pointed, i made A Big Sound & the vendor said "do you know what that is?" in that tone of voice people use when they think they might be meeting another hyper-specific nerd

friends, it was a Gocco kit, with two printers (the B5, which was on the box, but also the B6) & everything else you'd need to use it (ink, flashbulbs, master screens, filters, etc.) - literally probably $1K worth of material all together because you just can't find this stuff & it has such a cult following among artists & zinesters around the world

and then she basically just gave it to us (i paid $10 for everything, for some reason she was asking $9) because she "just wanted it to go to a good home with someone who would use it" (we will ABSOLUTELY use it). the vendor said she was getting a little teary just thinking about it being loved again, i was feeling like i was gonna pass out

& having inventoried everything at this point i'm feeling like we just met the angel of printmaking

Happy 30th anniversary to mobile fighter g gundam! Have some soft domasia for this momentous occasion ❤️‍🔥

(This is a redraw of a shot in the iroha uta - kagamine rin PV, which is something I hadn't listened to in years but was reminded of when my friend linked it to me the other day. It is, in my professional opinion, a very domasia song.)

Struggling to write a concise 500 word article abt the book arts society when what I actually want to do is compose some very poetic essay based off of the 30 minute convo I had with the master printer

why do i pick hobbies that take so much knowledge and understanding. and time. and preparation. is it not enough to simply do?

[mordacitatis]

one of the things i HATE the most about being a librarian is when patrons apologize for taking my time. they cannot understand how desperately i want anything to do, how great it feels to fix their problems.

next time you seek help from a librarian, just thank them. we WANT to help you. it is our JOB! take my time holy shit im literally being paid to wait for someone to need help

[vohannesvotrov]

i hate this thank u

#I remember they used to hate japan as much as they hate chinese now in 1970s or 1980s?#When Japan went through an economic bubble and fell apart#they suddenly stopped hating Japan because they felt it was no longer a threat?#Then they start to have the leisure to appreciate Japanese culture and whatnot#I don't think this example applies much to China#because in the UN#even the US has to look at China's face be like看脸色 lmao

Why the hell does my school demand so much more from us than my other schools with way less pay like come on

On the one hand, they mean well.

On the other, we are drowning in work and a coworker just burst in to ask if I knew there are HORMONES in soft plastics.

They were genuinely surprised not only that I "knew" about BPA, but actively took steps to minimize plastic in my life, could rattle off plastic recycling rates for two different countries, several popular brands that worked with recycled, tainted, but safe packaging, plastic processing safety processes and how to maximize the chances of my plastic printing waste being recycled with as little degradation as possible.

This person also assumes the county is pumping strange compounds ("HORMONES") into the drinking water that shed green crystals when boiled, rather than that they urgently need to replace their electric kettle

I'm now tempted to ask them to describe what a hormone is. It was on my 8th grade bio exam, 20 years ago. Has to be common knowledge, surely.
