Staff Pick of the Week

Today’s Staff Pick is Mimi Pond’s delightful book Half Off. Pond is a dedicated cartoonist, graphic novelist, and writer with writing credits that include The Simpsons, Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and Designing Women. She has also been a longstanding cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times and won an Inkpot Award in 2014 after her the release of her graphic novel Over Easy. 

Half Off presents witty observational stories centered around swimming at the YWCA, bargains shopping at Woolworth’s and Capwell’s, and Pond’s years as a waitress at Mama’s Royal Café in California. The stories are accompanied by relief engravings in Pond’s distinct illustrative style and exuberant color palette. Published by Rebis Press in 1981, Half Off was designed, printed, and bound by Pond and Rebis partner Betsy Davids in an edition of 115 copies signed by both the artist and publisher. The book is joyously finished with a half-shower cap binding and bubblegum pink fishnet overlay. Of the 115 copies made, Special Collections holds number 97, signed by the artist and publisher.

Hey folks for the past three mos. I have been knee-deep in a extensive front end developer boot camp through the YWCA entitled YWeb Career Academy .We just graduated last Thursday and are so far the biggest class. The coolest thing about this bootcamp was the fact they paid is $15 / hr. .The bad thing now i have no income until I find a job and with Christmas coming this sucks!!So if any one can help me with either finances for bills or help so my daughter still has a Christmas I would def appreciate it!!Also next steps like internships and entry level positions that are remote and hybris would be appreciated .

Day 1 - 3: Vancouver

Die Einreise am Flughafen von Vancouver ist digital schnell abgewickelt. Wenn ich nicht noch Handgepäck in meinem Backpack verstauen müsste (und deshalb gefühlt 50 Schnallen, Reißverschlüsse und Kordeln auf- und zumachen müsste), würde ich mich vermutlich schon nach 10 Minuten am Bahnsteig der Canada Line wiederfinden. Der Weg zu dieser (U-)Bahn ist vom Terminal gut ausgeschildert, nur wenige Meter entfernt, das Lösen eines Tickets kinderleicht.

Die Canada Line bringt die Passagiere in 25 Minuten für knapp 10$ nach Downtown Vancouver, wo ich mich für die nächsten 7 Nächte im YWCA Hostel in der Beatty Street eingebucht habe. Im Einzelzimmer mit hallway bathroom. Und besagtem Blick auf die Rogers Arena und von der Dachterrasse auch auf andere Teile der Stadt.

Die Entscheidung für dieses Hostel aufgrund seiner ruhigen Atmosphäre und Sauberkeit zahlt sich aus. Auch die zentrale Lage erweist sich als praktisch.

Das YWCA Hotel ist ein non-profit-hotel, dessen Erlöse an Projekte für Frauen, Kinder und Familien gehen. Es hat 12 Stockwerke mit Betten oder privaten Zimmern verschiedener Preisklassen und bietet z.B. noch einen laundry room (Waschmaschine und Trockner für nur 2$), einen kleinen Fitnessraum, eine Parkgarage und Gemeinschaftsküchen. Frühstück gibt es nicht, nur morgens Kaffee in der Lobby, aber die nächsten Bäckereien und Cafés sind ja lediglich ein paar Schritte entfernt.

Ich kann meine Sightseeings fast vollständig zu Fuß erreichen. Zur ersten Orientierung schlendere ich die West Georgia Street entlang, kaufe im Vancouver City Centre bei Bell eine kanadische SIM-Karte mit Prepaid- Guthaben (4,5 GB für 30 Tage für 45$), laufe dann entlang des Seawall Water Walk zur Waterfront bzw. zum Canada Place (mit Blick auf Stanley Park, North Vancouver und die dahinterliegende Bergkette) und bummle auf dem Rückweg an den zahllosen eateries der Robson Street vorbei.

Der Jetlag und die erlaufenen 14km tun ihr Übriges und weit vor Sonnenuntergang bin ich schon im Reich der Träume...

...muss aber vorher nochmal amüsiert an eine der entlang des Seawalk ausgestellten Geschichten denken - vermutlich wegen meiner elfjährigen Vergangenheit in Frankreich, pays des 365 fromages:

Weit vor Sonnenaufgang bin ich auch wieder wach. Was soll's! Ich habe alle Zeit der Welt und ein übermächtiges Gefühl von Freiheit!

Mit einem cheddar scone bewaffnet erscheine ich um 10 Uhr zu einer gebuchten Stadtführung mit Toonie Tours.

In Vancouver, so wird sich übrigens zeigen, bevorzuge ich das Essen on the go: Trees Coffee Granville Street, Footo Croissant Hamilton Street, Tractor Foods Robson Street, Pho Khan Beatty Street, Café Portait Denman Street oder einfach frische Snacks, vor allem Fisch und lemon meringue tarte oder mango cheesecake 😋, vom Markt auf Granville Island.

Bei der dreistündigen walking tour geht es vorbei an verschiedenen landmarks der Stadt: Christchurch, Stadtbücherei, Gastown, Harbourfront... Und zwischen den Erzählungen der aus Potsdam stammenden Führerin quatscht man mit den anderen Tourist:innen unserer bunt zusammengewürfelten, praktisch kosmopolitischen Gruppe und tauscht Erfahrungen und Tipps aus.

The Red Pen Of Justice - YMCA Regina's Campaign to Erase Women

The CBC seems utterly transfixed (ha!) on erasing women from the public sphere.  The CBC news headline from cbc.ca. “YWCA Regina stands by trans woman giving keynote speech at [a Woman’s] award event amid backlash”   We are going to go through the article and highlight what the YWCA aka the Young Women’s Christian Association is saying in an attempt to normalize the notion that males who…

i can hear the guy that was harrasing me before drunkenly yelling in his apartment down the hall. i fucking hate it here

#he hasnt approched me since my sister told him off awhile ago but this is like the third time ive heard him yelling and its freaking me out #i have some suspicion that he might be friends with someone i work with too which might be why he approached me in the first place #i was going to wait and see if my sister scared him off for good first but maybe i should just call the police before the guy snaps on me #might be a good idea to see if my local ywca can help me deal with this too #its hard to wanna ever leave my apartment these days knowing that guy is around #life is a nightmare rn
