Rest Is Resistance

How are we doing? Now that the days are shorter and the weather cooler, it’s imperative that we take time to rest and prepare ourselves for the winter. (Yes, the irony of saying this while drafting this email outside of working hours is not lost on me).

Announcements

  • Our annual Pender Island retreat is happening Nov 2-5. If you’re interested in signing up E-transfer $160 to [email protected], then email [email protected] to confirm.

  • Weekly friendly reminder that term 1 photo section meetings will be Tuesdays at 4pm at the Ubyssey office in the Nest (room 2208). They’re open to everyone and a good chance to chat, pick up pitches, receive feedback and ask any questions.

  • Make sure you join the facebook group and discord! Email pitch-lists will go out once a week but rolling pitches will be posted on facebook and discord as soon as I get requests for them.
