39 today 🌺 My parents called this morning and my mom asked whether I'd prayed (which I had). My dad asked whether I'd given thanks (which I had). As I embark on this 40th journey around the sun, I give thanks for love, for both the depth and abundance of love in my life. I give thanks for purpose, for the beauty of waking up every morning and living an intentional and fulfilling life. I give thanks for all the ways in which I am witnessed, seen and held, in all my complexities. And given that it's my birthday today and that I am away for a writing residency: If there are any special memories of us and/or things you like/appreciate about me that you want to share, these would be very welcome! #birthday #aries gratitude #artist #portrait #art #poet #performer #visualartist #writer #translator #author #femme #lgbt #lgbtq #queer #trans #transgender #zomfam #mauritius #montreal #lamackerel #kamalamackerel (at Pátzcuaro, Michoacán) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTN-vCLkDw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FREE until 14th May! Two bisexual Americans from opposite backgrounds who escape to Montreal and have very different experiences in this Beat Generation parody.

The overprivileged Louis seeks to leave New York and write the Great Canadian Novel, while hard-working Nourri flees a racist, biphobic environment in rural Georgia to find peace and romance.

So we went into a women authors’ bookstore near the Gay Village. I picked these books from said bookstore.

Yes, I know Sophie Labelle has issues by drawing furry kinks. But this book wasn’t so bad. People need representation, otherwise they’ll be bullied to not come to school in the first place. It also talks about consent too and people can change their normality.

I’m trying to be a better ally. It sucks in College, we had a Sex Ed class for a part of our psychology class.

Sophie, if you want to be taken seriously, don’t hide your kiddie kinks under the LGBTQ+ banner.

No one from said group wants to associate with MAPs.

"NOS PETITES ENTREVUES," Le Petit Journal. August 1, 1943. Page 17. ---- Etes-vous en faveur que les femmes remplacent les hommes à bord des trams, des autobus et des chemins de fer? --- Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Henri-Paul Després, 315, rue Savignac. Je crois que l'idée a un certain bon sens. Puisqu'il manque des hommes, il faut bien les remplacer. Or on ne peut les remplacer que par des femmes, puisqu'on ne peut pas prendre des enfants. Il faudra donc faire l'essai, si l'on ne veut pas interrompre les services de transport. Reste à savoir si on pourra nous assurer le même service, car, à part quelques cas, ce n'est pas dans les cordes de la femme de faire ce genre de travail. Pour le moment, je ne me prononce pas. Cela peut réussir.

M. P.-E. Picard, Etats-Unis. "Si la chose se présentait en temps normal, je serais complètement opposé à l'emploi femmes dans des ce genre de travail. Mais nous sommes en guerre et par la force des choses la femme doit prendre certaines situations qui jusque là étaient réservées de permettre aux hommes, afin ces derniers de travailler à des besognes plus essentielles exigées par l'effort de guerre du pays".

John Sullivan, 1700, St-Timothée. Puisque les événements nous forcent à essayer bien des choses nouvelles dans presque tous les domaines, il n'y a pas de raisons pour que l'on ne substitue pas les femmes aux hommes sur les trams, les autobus et même les trains. Mais je ne crois pas que ce soit tout à fait la place du sexe faible. Il semble bien, toutefois, que ce sera une distraction pour les voyageurs et un apprentissage assez curieux pour le role futur qu'elles auront à remplir au sein d'une famille".

Wilfrid Jean, 10794. Lajeunesse. Nous en verrons de toutes les couleurs dans cette guerre. On en est maintenant arrivé à faire travailler les femmes comme les hommes. Mais comme les femmes ont souvent beaucoup plus d'entregent et d'am- bition, il y a un certain bon sens à les utiliser partout où on le peut. Il y aura une période de mise au point. On entendra quelques récriminations, puis les gens s'habitueront à la nouveauté, qui aura probablement son bon côté. Il n'est pas impossible que, pour faire mentir le dicton, les femmes arrivent à faire partir et arriver leurs voitures à l'heure.

Jean Ethier, 1053, Sanguinet. Au cours des 78 ans de mon existence, je n'ai jamais vu pareille chose. Il me semble que nos jeunes filles seront déplacées, au volant des autobus et derrière le moteur des trams. Pourtant je pense qu'elles pourront rendre des services, si elle sont appelées à remplacer les hommes dans ce domaine, car les femmes qui veulent travailler travaillent bien.
