Uh ok, so what happened after that, guys? Two youths were arrested for
mischief. What does that even mean?
I'd love it if the police could just get over themselves a lil
and get along with mischief and mayhem. Also, activists maybe need to
look at the broader picture and objectively see if endangerment was at
play. Anyway, all this to say that trans remembrance was not observed in
ye ol' Montreal. Dearth of hirs and Zes?

I was in Ottawa and Gatineau this holiday, and had such a relaxing time. I bought awesome books (Zoe Whittall's For As Long As Possible and Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood). Also went to the Lookout, one of Ottawa's oldest gay bars, where people were funny, sexy and all around dope.
What is everyone doing for NYE 2010? I haven't decided, though it won't be a big event. Probably some cider and whisky with some friends, snow, and hopefully, a dog or two. Some good stuff happening in the city tho, for cheap. Check out the parties
here. [
