Original English title:Community Awareness – Ascension Photography
Post content summary:I want to share something that has been bothering me, because I think the women in our community should be informed when deciding who to trust with something as private as boudoir photography. Over the years, I've seen various posts and heard people express concerns about the photographer at Ascension Photography and how some boudoir shoots were handled. At the time, I dismissed those conversations because the photographer was known for producing excellent work and seemed friendly. However,

EN: I’ve been saying this for years. He’s a creep with a long creepy history. I’m surprised he’s done so well to cover his shit up but people need to stay away from him. I have no clue how he survived the MeToo movement. - I've known this guy for years – he was taking photos at a Halloween event, pulled out his camera, and basically asked me to show my chest for a photo. When I refused, he said, 'Oh come on, ten girls have already done it for me, just do it!' ... I'd like to add that I'm not a prude, but I would never let that guy see my chest. Also, no offense to anyone who has used his services, but he doesn't exactly scream 'wholesome family photographer,' so none of this is surprising. (30)

The events that use him do so because his photos are great for promotion, and they don't care about 'politics,' i.e., the safety of women and men from predators. I think it's a good idea to pressure events not to use him. He's also said multiple times that he doesn't photograph 'ugly people.' That's confusing, because he draws a lot of self-portraits. (19)

Canadian law recognizes that intimate photos are usually taken in situations where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Under the Canadian Criminal Code, 'intimate image' includes a photo or video of someone: nude or partially nude. Exposing genitals, breasts, or engaging in sexual activity. Most importantly, the law applies if the image was created in circumstances that give rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy. Boudoir photography almost always qualifies because: it is int (13)

Original English title:Transport on highway 11/17 today
Post content summary:I just want to take a moment to thank the transport truck driver who was on my tail this afternoon on the highway to Kakabeka. Not only was I already well over the 100 km/h speed limit, but I also had my 9-month-old in the back. I'm an experienced highway driver, and I've never been so nervous in my life. At one point, I was sure you were going to hit my bumper. You'd think that given all the recent accidents on this highway, transport would be more cautious. It's clear

- Slow down to slightly below the speed limit and call 911. Get the company name and trailer/licence plate number. 911 will lock your location and get them. (30)
EN: Slow down just below the speed limit and call 911. Get the name of the company and trailer / or license number. 911 will lock in your location and get them. - I've seen many of these jerk truck drivers. They want their speed limiter set at 105, and if the car or truck in front of them is going 104, they'll block the entire passing lane to get by. I was going 10 over the limit. So when a reckless truck driver passed me and was still stuck at 105 after the Manitoba border, and I was about to hit 110 and leave him far behind, it felt great. (28)
EN: I’ve seen so many asshole truckers like that. They want it pegged to the limiter at 105 and if a car or truck ahead of them is going 104 they’ll block a whole passing lane just to get by.

I did it twice, and the truck backed off my tail within minutes. One dispatcher could see my car on the truck's camera and immediately moved it off my bumper. I find this is more effective at slowing these guys down. I had a passenger who could get the info and search for the company number and call, while I kept my cruise control speed. (7)

3. What are people doing now for extra money? （ 93 ｜ 21 ｜ 36）
Original English question:What are people doing for extra money these days?
Post summary:The cost of living has gotten pretty crazy lately. I've been doing surveys and small online tasks on my phone, which might bring in $15 to $20 a day, but that's not enough. I really need something more stable. I'm curious what side hustles people are doing these days, especially remote or flexible ones, since I don't have a car.

- Do you mean the people who think cars are trying to cut in, or the ones who stop in the merge lane to wait for a car a kilometer away to pass? One day I saw a truck turn right from the Harbour Expressway, past a yield sign into Golf Links Road, without slowing down, nearly hitting another truck that had to swerve left to avoid being hit.
