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…

and then there are the moments…
Of memories that flash back on an otherwise beautifully perfect day even if it’s kind of rainy. The ones that show you a flash of his face as he calls you a liar in front of all the men you were raped with, held captive with, and hidden away from the world on that fateful…

Like Rachel Dolezal, Sean King can go fuck himself.
I know that’s not eloquent, or polite, but I don’t actually care. When I was an activist, and I stress “when”, because I’m no longer an activist, I’m just a loud mouth bitchy girl, I was working almost fifteen hour days and in some cases during shelter I was legit working at least twenty-two hours…

I’m on extended leave from the Surrey Mental Health Facility at SMH and I’m okay with it.
It’s no secret that I largely raised myself, as my brother did himself. My mom was busy being a single mother and trying to keep a home over our heads with food on the table. She did a good job at that, but it didn’t leave a lot of time for “parenting”, specifically. Which isn’t…
