As far as I’m concerned, seeing booth after booth staffed by independent artists celebrating queer people is one of the greatest perks of Pride celebrations. Where else can I go to find a group of sellers like this? Where else would they be targeting their wares in such a way? What other opportunities can I have to directly support so many local artists, many of them queer themselves, at the same time? There may exist queer-focused artisan’s galleries, but they I can’t imagine that they get nearly as much widespread attention as Pride.

One of the things that Pride should be about is community, and part of having a strong community is supporting each other. Letting small businesses rent booths at Pride is a natural extension of that.

So let's talk about this for a minute.

First of all, how do you think Pride events fund themselves and stay free for attendees? O.o Vendor fees aren't all of it - a lot of money comes from sponsors - but like... we paid $1300 to vend at Seattle Pride this year. That's the money that pays the people who work to make Pride happen. That is not free. Pride as an event does not just magically happen. A lot of people work really hard to make Pride happen and to clean up after it.

We're a small trans-owned company and 100% of our employees are trans & queer. We jokingly refer to Pride as "Gay Christmas". The money we make during Pride means we stay open, Pride events get vendor fees, and our employees get paid for the rest of the year. This company does not exist without Pride events. The only reason we survived as a company during COVID is because my wife has a stable, good IT job.

This shit isn't free to do. It does not just magically happen. Performers need to get paid. Tech crew needs to get paid. Equipment needs to be rented for performers. Stages need to be rented. Electrical services need to be paid for so food can happen. Ice and water cost money. Trash pickup costs money.

A lot of people volunteer and donate, but festivals and big community events? They cost money, and the money we pay to be able to vend is part of how Pride events happen. Without that, small queer businesses like @nerdykeppie don't survive and the only people putting their money in to make this happen, AND MONEY NEEDS TO CHANGE HANDS FOR EVENTS TO HAPPEN, are Smirnoff and fucking Wells Fargo.

For fuck's sake. Y'all want small queer businesses, but you really don't want us to actually survive, do you?

I'm like 90% sure you haven't answered this before, but sorry in case you have, lol. What was DU drow’s motivation for stopping Shadowheart from killing the Nightsong? He seems to not really like pushing her one way or another, so is it basically the same way he felt about Astarion ascending?

He didn't stop her. Shadowheart spared Aylin of her own merit without his intervention🤷��♂️

DU drow had no reason to get in her way. He finds this Shar junk extremely self-defeatist, but their friendship has always been based around not-getting-into-each-other's-businesness. He still wanted Shadowheart to fullfil her desires and fully expected her to follow through with the Nightsong's sacrifice - her change-of-heart was a shock for him as much as everyone else, but he was ultimately relieved about it. He kinda knew this small kindling of a friendship would have likely vanished otherwise. After sparing Aylin, they became much closer.

If anything, Shadowheart's actions served to further cement his choice both in resisting his father and pushing against Astarion's plan to ascend. So she was more the catalyst for his future actions rather than the other way around.

Had a “fun” job interview today at a clothing store. One of the things was we were presented with a situation in groups and asked how we’d react. The first one I got was “you’re at the supermarket and see someone putting an item under their clothes, what do you do?” And I really had to fight down my gut instinct to just let them do it. This is a big ass chain store they won’t miss it. None of my business really. They probably need it more than the store tbh. But no, I had to give a more “appropriate” answer. Poor person with me was a kid just out of high school she didn’t know what to say.

Here are some small actions you can take to protect the environment that aren't just "recycle more and drive less!"

The big environmental actions aren't always accessible for a lot of reasons, so here are some other ideas!

1. Pick up trash you see in ditches to prevent it from being washed into water sources!

2. Cut the straps of disposable masks you throw away so they don't get caught around animals necks!

3. Keep track of your pencils/chapstick/pens and use the same one for as long as you can!

4. Don't buy NFTs! Non-fungable tokens, or NFTs, are huge electricity wasters.

5. After Halloween, take your pumpkins to local forests/wildlife shelters and leave them for the deer to eat instead of throwing them out!

6. Collect rainwater! You don't need a huge rainbarrell or anything to do this! I use cups and after a few rainfalls I have enough water for my houseplants for the year!

7. Bring a reusable cup with you to coffee shops when possible! (Covid restrictions can make this tricky so be sure to check with the shop!)

8. When you go to beaches leave seashells where you find them, especially in areas where the tide will come in. Animals use those for protection from predators! Take all the seaglass you want though :)

9. If you have enough space for a clothesline, dry your clothes in the sun when possible!

10. Donate or sell old clothes you don't wear anymore, or share them with your friends and family!

11. Instead of throwing away old clothes, mend them or use them for scrap material! Here are a few tutorials for how to fix clothing!

12. Plant flowers that attract bees and butterflies!

13. Shop small and secondhand when possible! Most small busineses are better with managing waste than larger corporations.

14. Repurpose! There are tons of ways you can repurpose stuff you'd otherwise throw out! Google "recycled crafts" for some cool examples! I personally do a lot of scrap booking which saves some smaller items, and I reuse containers to keep stuff organized! One of my favourite examples is how you can use boiling water to soften the very bottom of a candle, melt it, and make a new candle!

15. Carpool! You and a friend have the same classes? Go to school together! Your friend needs something from a store close to your destination? Drop them off on the way! You'll end up saving on gas money and collectively using less fuel!

CLIP

WHAT IS CLIP?

CLIP is a mexican product that provides the service of paying with credit or debit card without the need of using a conventional bank terminal, this includes not giving royalities to the bank, and also, the price of owning  a CLIP is lower that a normal terminal.

This is amazing for the small busineses that are in the process of growing, since using a conventional terminal is more expensive than this alternative, also the traditonal ones tend to only accept a few credit/debit credit cards.

There are a few types of clips on the market:

CLIP PLUS 2

price ($449 mexican pesos)

https://clip.mx/productos-clip/clip-plus-2/

CLIP PRO

price ($2,999 mexican pesos)

CLIP TOTAL

Questions || Nic x Jim

Who: @jim-ofalltrades-montague and @nicoinverona

When: Early December, 2018

What: After a conversation with the Commander, Nic calls Jim Montague in for questioning, trying to find some answers to the rash of fires. If anything, Jim furthers Nic’s belief that he had nothing to do with the fires, and that this is an act against the Montague’s.  Although the why still remains a mystery.

A part of Nic expected Jim to not show up at their agreed upon meeting time.  So much so that he'd already pre-emptively filled out paperwork for a warrant just in case.  He still wasn't convinced the man was explicitly involved in the fires, but the similarities to the man's past irked Nic and left him with some doubts.  And he didn't put it past the Montague's or at the very least, Lord Montague, to set fire to his own businesses to further his agenda.  Nic just wasn't sure what exactly that agenda would be at the moment.  But he also didn't expect Jim Montague to give him too many answers today, at least not about the current fires.  So that wasn't going to be where Nic went with his questions today.

Jim hated this whole thing. He should have expected it really, but part of him had hoped that for once the Montagues would be treated like the damn victims they were instead of the criminals. He'd had too many bad experiences with the Law in the past to even begin to hope this was a casual follow up questioning. Just to please himself, he showed up late to the agreed upon time, knowing that he had grease stains on his shirt from the motor repair he'd done earlier. He just hoped no one called him James. That was too much weirdness on top of the rest of the day. Stalking in, he tossed out his name to the receptionist, figuring they'd already have a nice padded interrogation room ready for him.

Nic was sitting at his desk when Jim arrived, late, but he supposed it was better than not showing up at all.  Hearing the other man's name, Nic stood up and waved him over.  "This way, Mr. Montague," he said showing the other man into a small office.  "Have a seat and we can get started."

Just being an office like this made Jim feel more unsure and angrier, as if the last decade hadn't happened. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he trudged along behind the officer before flopping unceremoniously in the chair indicated. "I'm surprised you didn't have the cuffs already out. Seems to be the usual method with Montagues these days."

"I recall mentioning that we were not charging you so, no, handcuffs are not necessary,"  Nic replied.  "If you need them to feel more comfortable, I'm sure arrangements can be made."  He raised an eyebrow at the other then.  "I'm willing to go a different route than the 'usual method with the Montagues these days' if you're willing to do the same.  By that I mean an attempt at a real conversation involving questions."

Jim just shrugged at the question, leaning back so the chair was tilted off the ground just slightly as he watched the man. Officer Ricci. There was a vague sense of familiarity about him - besides the whole seeing each other in the middle of a smoking building getting people out. The reminder of which had the healing burn on Jim's back itching and he shifted slightly to try and ease the sensation. "Fire away Ritchie."

Nic couldn’t help but laugh.  “Please, we both know in general the Montagues are far more we’ll off than a typical city employee; even a member of the Watch.”  He opened the file and looked at his notes.  “You were at the Halloween event.  I remember seeing you.  Were you at Ms. Lovell’s event prior to the fire as well?”  Nic was pretty sure he’d seen the other Dominant there too.

Jim had to admit, the fact that the man had laughed off the (albeit shitty) pun on his own name instead of getting mad had him raising slightly in Jim's estimation. The ones without the quick temper usually were actually trying to do their job rather than getting off on the power trip. But he'd wait and see. "Yeah." He'd put an order in at the event, they could get that information easily enough so there was no point prevaricating.

“After the fire on Halloween were you asked to or did you take it upon yourself to look into any other Montague holdings?”  Nic asked.  “And if so, did you find anything?”

Jim felt himself tensing again. It was the kind of question that should be simple but he felt like it was leading towards something in particular. "It's my job. Nothing out of the ordinary," he replied shortly.

“I know it’s your job,” Nic replied.  “I just wanted to confirm that and that it was done.  Although with this second fire, there is a shift in the investigation.”  He looked down to his notes.  “This isn’t the first fire you’ve been involved with either is it?”

Jim knew what he was referring to. Honestly, he'd known it was coming as soon as the man had called because of course they'd go back and pul that up - but that didn't mean he was going to make it easy. "Did you lose all your notes from the Apothecary fire? Yeah, I was still there too."

"No.  Just not making any assumptions here," Nic replied.  "And since I'm relying on someone else's notes from Sicily, I have a couple of questions for you.  You were there, correct and helped get people out like at the Apothecary?  And according to the report I see here, the cause was determined to be area kids getting into trouble?  Did you know those kids?"

Of course he'd known them. They'd been proving a point to him by attacking the inn at all, and his mother had been the one to deal with the worst of the consequences. "Area kids. Nice phrase for that."

"Would you care to elaborate on what you'd call them?" Nic asked.  "And how you knew them?"

"Firebugs. Assholes. Mafia wannabes. Rich kids with too much time on their hands and no conscience. I'm sure one of those will appeal to you." He was almost tempted to deny that he'd known them at all, but that wouldn't have worked a decade ago, and with what was in the report, there was no point being stupid. "As you mentioned, area kids. Kids run into each other. School happens. We weren't holding tea parties or any shit like that."

"I would think legitimate firebugs and I would find much, much more about them connected to other fires," Nic surmised.  However the other descriptors were hardly surprising.   Especially the mafia wannabes.  "You're a rare birth Montague aren't you?"

Jim had a lot of tender places in his past, and despite what it appeared, he'd been trying to stay on the civil line of difficult. But the surprise change in tack had his expression darkening as he stared at the Watch Officer. "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"

"You're the one that mentioned mafia wannabes," Nic said.  "It's not so unusual to think that perhaps the Montagues have made some enemies with the Mafia.  Either then or now.  I'm just looking at possible connections, and suspects for these latest two fires."  The Officer folded his arms over his chest.  "Like you said, perhaps it's not standard opperating procedure around here these days, especially with the new Mayor, but even with the last name Montague, and perhaps the obvious access you would have, I don't like you for the culprit.  But with this other fire, and some similarities, I'm just making sure there isn't a connection to you, that we're not overlooking."

Jim slowly clenched his fist as he listened to the other man talk. He knew he should be relieved to hear that the officer didn't think he was a likely candidate, but he knew better than to trust any statement given that easily. "The shit that happened back there wasn't about being a damn Montague and they've had plenty of time to cause problems since. And if they did, they would have made damn sure /I/ knew what it was about. I don't. If I did, that would've been fucking dealt with after the first fire."

"What was it about then?" Nic asked.  "You've got opinions, or ideas, I'd like to hear them.  Make me see that the fire then, and the fires now are different, despite the similarities of you being connected to them, and in the case of the Apocathary, saving people."  He looked down at the old file.  "Do you remember names?  Because the other thing we're looking at is these names at the Apocathary and the Adonis.  We are looking at connections to each other and to the Montague's to explain why their busineses, but it's a lot of really thin straws at the moment."

"They are fucking different. They're a decade apart and a country away, and considering the sheer number of fires that happen annually, that's pretty statistically important. But also, these two happened weeks apart from each other. Whatever started this, it's started now and it's not stopping. Each fire had literal fucking calling cards this time around I'd say that's a damn thick straw to connect them. But also, come on, look at the way those fires were set. Neither were actually designed to hurt anyone. The Apothecary had people in it, but the fire was in the basement and kept away from all the alcohol. That could have easily become an inferno, but it was a scare tactic. Second time around they literally waited until it was all empty. This is all flash and attention grabbing, it's someone trying to make a point. My guess is someone who feels the Watch hasn't done enough to clear the Montagues out of the city so they're trying to lead you by the nose. Which means looking outside the family is probably your best bet."

"Looking at how those fires were set are the main thing keeping the Montagues as suspect," Nic replied cooly.  "Set a fire that could have been a whole lot worse, and have Montague's in the building. " The Dominant left off the fact that Megan, who had been one of the injured was also no longer going to be a Montague as it turned out.  "Then one with no one around, but letting it go all the way down, and meanwhile it disrupts a service for the citizens of the city, puting people on edge and making them vulnerable. "  Not to mention the Adonis would be rebuilt undboutedly in some capacity.  Possibly bigger and better, which could have been needed with business booming.  It's unfortunate, but could be a good thing.   "The names link them for sure, apart from the locations themselves. But it's not clear why the names, and if they're just meant to throw us off.  If as you said it's just about getting the Montague's out of the city, which to be fucking clear,  isn't anyone's but the Princess purview, there is no need for the names.   Even our Mayor knows HE can't just get your crew out of here.  Which is why I'm sure he's cracking down on crime,  and chasing any involvement by your family.  Make Verona a less than hospitable environment."   He raised an eyebrow at Jim.  "Katerina died 5 years ago.  About half way between when that fire did and the more recent ones. So don't throw time at me like it's some magic clear all."

Jim let out a disgusted sound, rolling his eyes. "Right. Because it's so hard to believe that Montagues could actually be the fucking victims for once. It's our businesses getting burned down, our revenue we're losing, our customers, and now that there are two fires it's going to make people question pretty damn hard if it's worth it to go to anything run by Montagues in case there's yet another fire. We're just always the fucking villains to you aren't we?" He understood the man's point about time, but he wasn't sure how to explain it any better than he already had without going into way more detail than he had ever shared. "Look, if this was anything to do with those kids from Sicily, you can be fucking sure they wouldn't give a damn about whether or not people were inside those buildings. They didn't 10 years ago, and they sure as hell wouldn't care now. And if it was about me, there would be something recognizable in it. My name. My mother's name. Hell, even a name or a symbol that I'd recognize from high school. But there isn't. And this is a huge waste of time."

Nic scoffed.  "Honestly, yeah it is kind of difficult to see /some/ Montague's as victims at all.  Almost as difficult it is for me watch /some/ Capulets in a similar position."  He had enough reasons personal and professional alike to not see either as victims no matter the situation.  The Montague's wouldn't be the first to attempt insurance fraud afterall and some short term pain like Jim just described would easily be covered by new, better buildings, possibly bigger, and in a way increasing their business and revenues long term.   Instead he listened to the other go on about how there would be a sign or s sumbol that he'd recognize from high school if the two were connected, which was a fair enough point, but it wasn't also one Nic or any other of the Watch would know.  But something about the outburst made Nic give it some merit.  Still, it was something he'd look into himself as well, possible signs or symbols and look for them in connection with either fire.  But his gut still said, as it had when the Captain had him pull in the Montague Repairman, that this wouldn't result in a lead.  "A waste of your time, but you just knocked down two areas of suspicion we were pursuing.*  Nic jotted down a couple of more notes, crossing out a couple of things and then looked at Jim.  "Thank you for your time."

Jim sneered at the confirmation of what he'd said. But as soon as the officer said that he was finished he pushed himself to his feet and stalked off, not bothering to say anything else. What he wanted was to get out of this Watch station more than anything. Before he did something even stupider which got him arrested yet again. All he knew now was that he needed to get back home.

Whitefield: Pop-up shop entrepreneur wins another award as her business thrives

A pop-up shop business owner from Whitefield has scooped another award as her firm thrives.  Megan Jones, 31, is one of a trio of up-and-coming business people who won Innovate UK’s Young Innovators Award. She and the other two winners have not won another accolade, the Young Innovators Next Step award, due to their progress and future growth plans. Megan set up Curated Makers, which supports micro busineses to get spaces on the high street within their stores or big retains such as John Lewis, M&S, Next and Paperchase. Her “Made Local Pop-Ups” allow small makers and artists to showcase their work to new customers. Since winning her first award, Megan has gone from a team of one to four full-time, allowing them the capacity to run four pop-ups and four market spaces concurrently. The other winners were Benjamin Ndubuisi who grew up in Nigeria and now lives in Manchester. His experiences led him to create VING.AI, a secure currency exchange platform for Africans living in the UK. And Anna Watkins from Penrith, has taken seaweed slime and used it to create a sustainable, vegan and 100 per cent bio based alternative to leather and plastic, turning it into everything from handcrafted notebooks to wallets and lampshades. Innovate UK’s chief executive officer, Indro Mukerjee, said: “Innovate UK is committed to inspiring and supporting the next generation of innovators. “We will work to inspire, involve, and invest in their talent to create a strong future economy and society. “Congratulations to the Young Innovators Next Step award winners and I look forward to seeing their businesses develop even further.” The Young Innovators Awards recognise young people, aged 18 to 30, from every region and country in the UK with great business ideas who have the potential to become successful entrepreneurs and future leaders in innovation. Award winners receive a £5,000 grant, living allowance, a package of business coaching, and mentoring from a personal Innovation Champion from Innovate UK Edge. Emily Nott, head of equality, diversity, and inclusion at Innovate UK said: “It’s one thing to have a business idea and – as so many aspiring entrepreneurs would attest – quite another to make it a reality. “These innovative young people have worked relentlessly to realise their ambitions and we are proud of the role we are able to play in helping them on this journey. “Their disruptive ideas stand to make a big impact, but their stories are important in other ways too – if they can inspire other young people to come forward and innovate, we will all benefit.” Science Minister George Freeman said: “Congratulations to all the winners of Innovate UK’s Young Innovators Next Steps awards. “To unlock our potential as an Innovation Nation we need to inspire a new generation of young innovators & entrepreneurs to bring their ambition and innovation to create new opportunities, businesses and jobs across the whole country. “An innovation economy is key to an opportunity Society. “The ideas of these young innovators are already helping us address some urgent challenges, from monitoring the impact of climate change on bees which are essential for pollination of our crops to producing aids for patients suffering from stroke & head injury. “I’m really looking forward to seeing who this year’s competition discovers.” https://ift.tt/0maHyl1 https://ift.tt/Q7F3RWb
