Bring it Back Down
So far I have everything I need. A roof over my head, food in my belly, medication to take any pains or ailments away, and a supportive group of friends, family members, and allies, who care about my well-being. I really can’t ask for much more than that. That being said, not everything is perfect.…

Does It Even Matter?
Seriously. Does talking about it online help? Does sharing the pictures of the war zone really have an effect on us? Is it powerful to talk about what’s going on in The Congo, in Palestine, in Syria? Yes. Yes. Yes. Every single word that we use to describe and explain the atrocities in the world…

We Did It!!!! 2 Books Published This Year

Jealousy Is Not An Emotion I Deal With
There are so many people who look like they have better lives than the one I’m living. They have more money, maybe they are skinnier, or they look healthier, but the truth is, after going through what I went through, to get where I am today, I wouldn’t wish my life were any different. I…

Depression Is A Cunt…
So I’ve been spending some time on the Mastodon server, .Social. The question of depression and what to do about it to curb the downswing, has come my way and my only real answer is cannabis and spirituality. These two things, and the underlying behaviors that come with them have changed my life. Let me…

Did You Know You’re Allowed To Say No?
Yeah me either. I mean I started saying no when I started this website, but I don’t think I’ve fully conceptualized the fact that I am allowed to say no, until today. It’s Sunday and I am not hanging with friends, I am having a lazy day where I sleep in, I might make myself…

In Case of My Death…Burn The World Down
This book is a work of love. Part book of essays, part memoir, it’s about me, it’s about living in Canada, it’s about the girls, the boys, and everything in between. This book got me angry. When I first started writing it, Breonna Taylor had just died, so had George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, but…

Blogging In The Blind
Just because I can’t see you, doesn’t mean I don’t know you’re there. In a thousand different ways the people who read this blog have helped me survive some of the most traumatic piles of bullshit, any human should have ever gone through. I’ve been through some shit, and for six and half years you’ve…

In My Lifetime…
I’ve lived long enough to remember the Rwandan Genocide, and the wars in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and yes I’m old enough to have heard stories about World War Two, and Vietnam. I’ve met soldiers from both. I’ve seen three Popes, 2 millennia, 2 different centuries, and Bush as President. Twice. I may not be old,…

Kicking And Screaming
Begging I didn’t want to be where I am today. I didn’t want to take the journey I knew I was going to end up taking before I got here. A year before I ended up houseless, I told my psych nurse I didn’t want to lose my house, but she didn’t take me seriously,…
