Welcome back to another four months of school. Hopefully you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New years!
As usual, Pride UBC will be hosting weekly events (FLOW, GLOW, On the QT, Trans Tea Time, Label-Free Fridays).
The weekly events are not only for resources, but is also a great way to meet new people. So don’t be shy and check us out!

Can’t make it to any of the events? Try dropping by the Pride Office. Our office is used as a social space unless otherwise stated. If you need help with anything, any execs there will gladly assist you. Drop by for lunch, or just to hang out; we won’t bite.

For those of you who are interested in getting involved in the administration side of Pride UBC, our weekly admin meetings have moved to a new time. They will be held every Monday from 11am-12pm, at SUB 211. Everyone is welcome.

Face it: you’re tied up.

You’re tied to the person spooning you from behind, and they’re
wrapped around you. Are you the one who gets tied, or does the tying?

Maybe you find yourself trapped between labels, confined within
categories. The word GAY sticks to you like gum.

Or else you’ve learned to break ties. Are they annoying like spider
webs? Debilitating like handcuffs? Exciting like leather?

Without them, would you simply float away?

This year, the Pride Ubyssey’s TIED UP edition wants to hear about
your ties—your (least) favourites, the ones you broke accidentally, or
the embarrassing ones at the back of your closet.

Please submit WRITINGS (articles, editorials, non-fiction, fiction,
poetry, info-bits) and ARTWORK (photography, drawings, cartoons,
doodles) no later than Sunday, January 20th to cam.lavender@gmail.com.

Then look out for the issue on its release date—Friday, Febuary 8th.

As we’re all busy finishing up end-of-term assignments, we’ve still got the last day of classes and the next Pride UBC bqqr garden to look forward to. If you haven’t come out to one of our events yet, this is your chance! And if you have, then you know it’ll be a great way to relax and meet some cool people. Here are the details:

when: Friday, November 30th. 7-11pm.
where: SUB 214/216
bring: 2 pieces of ID to show you are 19+
cost: $2
theme: the ’80s! (feel free to dress accordingly, if you wish)

We’re also going to need some volunteers for set-up, clean-up, taking cover and selling drink tickets. Email me, Darcie (defrederick@shaw.ca), if you’re interested in helping out. Volunteers get in free and get one drink ticket for every hour worked.

Cheers!
