Something Not Quite Right Here…
I have been out of the “Working” field for seven years. Seven years ago I quit/was fired at my job at Surrey Urban Mission Society, and I focused my energies on exploring the things that were important to me. I volunteered at a local radio station, and I sucked terribly at it, I traveled, and…

What is National Pride…In North America?
When it comes to “National Pride” in *the* most Western countries in the world, what exactly does that phrase mean? When I was sixteen I was sitting in a civics class and we were talking about national pride. I couldn’t explain at that tender age, why it was that I wasn’t “proud” to come from…

1942 – Paris
I had a dream once about a woman who looked like an older version of me. Except unexplainably I knew it was Paris, and I knew it was 1942, so I knew it couldn’t possibly be me. Either way the important part of the dream isn’t about whether or not they looked like me, it’s…

I’m So Sorry…
I owe you an apology. I haven’t failed, I haven’t died, and I haven’t majorly fucked up. But I haven’t been around much to tell you what’s been going on with me, and I suspect you already know why. Anything that I have to complain about pales in comparison with what’s happening in the world…

18 Years Ago Yesterday…
I’m publishing this post today instead of yesterday because it seems apt to wait a day, and also because I didn’t notice the notification until last night. So when I was 23 years old I registered for my first WordPress.com website. I know it was called something rediculous, but whatever it was called I wish…

I’m Starting To See Who I am Outside of Trauma
When I am relaxed, calm, and happy, I find that I am a more fun person to be around. But I’ve also come to rely on my own company, and because of that my isolation time is very important. I’m starting to find out that I am a person who needs creative pursuits to be…

Dear Freedom Fighters Around The Globe
Right now American troops are inside Palestine. They have been for weeks. Right now US troops are participating in the genocide of the Palestinian people. All because and I quote the United States American President number 46, “Israel has a right to defend itself.” Implying that Palestine is not a state that also deserves protection.…

If “They Can Railroad You, If They Can Do This to An American President, What Will They Do To You?”
Nothing you fucking idiot because none of you are in the position of stealing an entire election. Among the number of things that Donald J Trump is guilty of, the jury convicted him of 34 charges and he’s still facing another 54 more charges. 54. They are not “Railroading” anyone, they are contributing to the…

Set Them Boundaries, They Might Make Your Relationships Stronger
Yesterday a neighbor asked me as I was walking through the front doors if she and I could talk. She was having a rough time but so was I. I had to stop her and tell her that right at that moment wasn’t a good time but I could talk later, and then I just…

Man or Bear, Yeah We’re Still Having That Conversation
Because it’s important to understand and to remind myself, that I am not alone. It’s so weird because I felt completely alone ten years ago, without a friend in the world. I was stuck in this idea that there was something wrong with me and then I saw a video the other day that basically…

Pride Is Around The Corner, So This is For Those About To Come Out
Hi. How’s it goin? When I told my mom that I was bisexual, I was thirty-eight years old. She rolled her eyes and said, “And?” She didn’t care, not because she didn’t love me, but because she’d been around enough of my friends to make sure her way of saying “I love you shut up,”…

If You Followed Me Here from TikTok…
It’s because You’ve heard me say my story and you want more insight. Well, thank you for that, I appreciate your curiosity. This is a project I’ve been working on for the last five, almost six years now. During the creation of this project, Loud Mouth Brown Girl, myself, and my wheelchair-using mother were houseless…
