Our beloved Thea Lim over here at Shameless has not yet departed to the United States and will grace us once more before she goes with her intelligence, brilliance, and general feminist awesomeness this Sunday at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape for their monthly Feminist Activist Herstory Forum!
If I weren’t in the US myself, I’d be there! So I hope you can be!
Here are the deets:
Date: Sunday, January 4th
Time: 2-3:30pm
Where: 17 Phoebe St, The TRCC/MWAR Centre (Just northeast of Queen and Spadina)
This is a FREE event open to all and includes snacks
This free interactive speakers series celebrates our adventures, struggles, and successes in all its incarnations.

(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
