Can we get our civility back without going backwards?
So Canadian Leader Jagmeet Singh says that Donald Trump is largely to blame for the xenophobia that we’re seeing today in our country and I wonder….will a new President have that much affect on how we treat each other? We used to be known as the nice country, and every time I’d hear an American,…

The stuff Survivors need to hear: Get angry, you’re allowed.
The following Twitter thread was posted by my friend, and all around Healing Guru Sarah Garlits. Lately I have been feeling more empathy for my rapists than myself, which has pushed me into feeling a sense of complete loss of self. A place of utter depression, I know that I “CAN” get angry I just…

When are people going to start caring about victims and survivors of sexual trafficking and abuse?
I know that’s a big question but I’m tired y’all. I am exhausted every single day of just getting out of bed. I know that this is my battle, and I know that things are going to get better, one day, but for the time being things suck and I don’t know what I am…

Cunt! Man up and say the things you aren’t supposed to say.
This post is inspired by @9Scarface9 and their included tweet. I choose the word Cunt, because it’s the “one” word “good girls” aren’t supposed to use. It’s a dirty unconventional word that for some reasons sends everyone into a fucking tither and that’s exactly why I love it. But I’m not supposed to. (heh heh) I…

I am an inspiration. Whether you like it or not.
When we were children, very bad men convinced us that we didn’t deserve to believe in ourselves. For a variety of reasons, chief among them that we were colored, but also because we existed in a world of powerlessness, surrounded by adults who couldn’t understand what we were going through. Being abused will do that…

I lost my fictional voice again because My Prime Minister is a not so closeted Racist
This post is dedicated to @WordsBySC who sent this beautiful tweet as I was writing this post. And @pinklady_ktown who taught me how to find a new version of my dance/voice/song. For months now I’ve been struggling to tell the story of Siddha Lee Saint James, the fictional character that I made myself into as a child.…

Yes, Saint Justin fucked up.
And if you are expecting me to be the Brown Girl Canadian who gives him a pass, you’re going to be sad to find out that is not the case. He fucked up, he admitted he fucked up and while normally Political apologies piss me off, this one….hits home a little differently. I legit cried…

Be un-afraid
I’m watching Sasha Banks talk about depression, and fear, being afraid to do the thing that saved her life, and I can’t even begin to imagine what that might feel like, though I hope one day I will. I hope to win an Emmy or an Oscar, or both, and a Juno while we’re at…

Theres a homeless man living in a tent…so call the Police.
I used to work with the homeless in some cases, twenty-four hours a day, so I feel I have some experience dealing with the issues that they live with. Such as Poverty, Drug Addiction and of course, Homelessness. Last night a neighbor was talking about a person living up the street in a tent, another…

The Tribeless Gypsy
Traditionally, Gypsy girls stay at home and cook and clean, but I wanna be independent. Every modern day Gypsy girl feels that way, in their own heart, okay maybe not every gypsy girl, I do…I don’t want to stay at home all day and cook and clean while I wait for my person to show…

Yes, that could have been me (Letter to myself)
I could have been the girl who had a baby with a boy I didn’t really love, I could have been the girl who walked away from her daughter, her son, her family, because it was the easy and selfish choice. I could have been that girl. I wasn’t though. I was the girl who…
