She makes art as a way to find meaning under the weight of capitalism and the unending anxiety of the climate crisis. Her first book, Depression Cooking is forthcoming with ECW Press in 2026. Jesjit Gill is a visual artist and printmaker. He graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design with a BFA in 2010. In his art practice he uses print as a medium to wed photographic collage and hand drawn elements that are arranged into dream-like scenes inspired by science fiction and surrealist art. Jesjit's practice began in the late 2000s with gigposters and flier art and is still deeply influenced by the ephemerality and exigency of this work. He is the co-owner of Colour Code Printing , a Risograph & Screenprinting studio established in 2011, that he runs alongside his wife, Jenny Gitman. He is also a co-organizer of Zine Dream, a small press fair that began in 2007 and features over 90 exhibitors including small presses, self publishers, printmakers and illustrators. Colour Code Printing and Publishing offers artist friendly printing services and operates as a small press, publishing limited edition artist books, zines and prints. Colour Code has exhibited at small press and art book fairs across North America as well as at Fiera Plana (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Miss Read (Berlin, Germany), I Never Read (Basel, Switzerland) and Magical Riso (Maastricht, Netherlands). Colour Code runs a monthly Risograph workshop at their studio, where they show participants an overview of the printing process and help them create their own 2 colour Riso posters.

Safe Dating: It is crucial to be cautious when setting up in-person dates or meetings. 1. Don't set up dates too quickly It's normal to chat and have some back and forth before deciding if a date is in the cards. If the person wants to meet you immediately that is a RED FLAG. 2. Meet up in a public place for the first time It's a wise decision to choose a busy public location for your first date. Meet at a pub, coffee shop, restaurant, and/or busy park. This allows a secure setting for both of you. 3. Always arrange your transportation for the initial date Always meet your date in a public place. Never, ever let them pick you up or drop you off on your first few dates. Even if they offer to pick you up or drop you off, say "no thanks" until you trust them! Remember the old saying stranger DANGER. 4. Tell someone you trust that you have a date Never go on a date/meet-up without telling someone. This should always be your no. 1 safety rule when meeting people for the first time. Let a friend or family member know that they should expect to hear from you at a certain time. You can also let them know where you're going on the date. It’s also a smart idea to have a ‘safe word’ or ‘safe phrase’, to use, just in case you need to make a quick exit. 5. Think before exchanging numbers Do not forget that you are under no need to share phone numbers if you feel uncomfortable. It’s OK to schedule dates and converse only through a safe app until you feel ready to give out your phone number. Always take your time when disclosing contact information since your privacy is crucial. 6. ALWAYS Trust your instincts If you sense any discomfort or uneasy vibes while conversing, or planning a date in person, don't hesitate to leave immediately and exit the situation. Your well-being always comes first, and it's perfectly fine to step away if something doesn't feel right. Let your friend or family member know. Information Source: Crazy4Events | eventbrite
