We Did It!!!! 2 Books Published This Year
I’ve been keeping this project under wraps until it was ready, but here we are! I’ve written or collaborated, on at least, on two book projects this year. One was my own, and the other was for Surrey Shares. Today we’re aiming to get onto the best seller’s list, so if you’re interested in reading…

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,…

Healthy Coping Mechanisms Require Balance to Work #MentalHealth Post of the Week
Okay, so “Crazy,” let’s talk about what that word means. It means “mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive manner. That’s the Google definition, and it fits pretty closely with the definition I’m referring to when I say “crazy.” It is really difficult to remain calm in the hum of craziness wrapping…

1,101 Posts On LMBG / Search The Landfills
It’s hard to describe how this much means to me. It means a lot. Let me start there. One of my favorite creators of all time was Joss Whedon, which is vastly ironic when you consider that this entire blog is written from the perspective of someone who was deeply abused by the men in…

Why Mary Berg Makes Sense for CTV
Canada would love for you to believe that it’s an old country with old country values. But the truth is that Canada the country was founded outside the parameters of the original Indigenous founders, under the umbrella of Fundamentalist Christianity. The Roman Catholic Church estimated Indigenous culture by stealing their children and declaring war on…

Holy Shit, So That’s What a Narcissist Looks Like In The Wild
They can look like anyone in the world. They can start off being the kindest, sweetest, most open, and wonderful people in the world. And then…on a dime, they switch, and everything and anything is your fault and they are completely innocent. Everything has a reason or an excuse, everyone is at fault but them…
