A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out πŸ‘€βš–οΈ

A painting of a white borzoi with three light orange spots. They're holding a big stick in their mouth that has a single tiny leaf sprouting. In the big are huge semi-abstract colorful flowers, with some smaller ones closer to the ground.

A bunch of white bisqueware stacked and tumbled together. Two moustachioed Cowboy dudes, some small spoons and a bud vase, some stacked bowl things and a very upset tulip. Surrounding the ceramic pieces are handlettered words: β€œHandbuilding and Surface Design with Britt (me!) May 7-28th 4 weeks! @Parkdale Pottery”

I’m finally getting my multi-week handbuilding class! I know my audience here isn’t as local to Toronto as my IG following is, but if you could boost/share I would be so grateful! I really want to teach this class!!

We’ll be spending more time refining and decorating than in a one off workshop.

Experience the magic of seeing our little wormy friends turn our garbage into amazingly nutritious compost!

What is Vermicomposting? 
Vermicomposting is a composting method that uses worms to turn organic waste into nutrient-rich worm castings. It's a great way to lower individual waste output and is ideal for those who live in apartments and lack outdoor access. (Illustration of food scraps being turned into compost.) It can be done with several different earthworm species, but Red Wigglers are the most commonly used. These worms can be purchased online through composting supply stores or bought in-person at fishing bait stores. You can also get a handful of worms from a friend! (You will have to wait for the colony to grow large enough to handle household waste, though). (Illustration of a worm on a fish hook saying, "Wait... Did you say... BAIT??"

Pros & Cons: As with everything, worms have their strengths and weaknesses! Pros: can be done indoors in a container, very cheap, easily scalable with more bins and worms, if you enjoy worms, they double as pets! (illustration of 3 worms partying in a bin, with one of them putting a coin into a piggybank). Cons: limited by how much the worms can eat (overfeeding can cause problems), certain foods are unsuitable (more details later), can attract pests. (Illustration of a worm picking at a plate of food, while a fly hovers nearby and says, "Hey... You gonna finish that?")

A little about why I decided to stay indie moving forward:
It has somehow reached a point where there are oddly more benefits being indie than if I were to do studio work.
The biggest being I own and decide what I do with my work.
For decades animation workers have given IP for a flat paycheck
