Stuck Between Covid and Anemia: The #DisabilityTwitter Folks Should Understand This Well
I don’t talk about Anemia very often, and I don’t discuss the fact that I’ve had covid, because it was my fault I caught it. I wasn’t wearing a mask, mostly and actually entirely, because I couldn’t afford to buy them, so I didn’t have any for a while, and I caught the Covid. Here’s…

Pathfinder Youth Center Society
My name is Devon J Hall and I used to attend a program at PYCS. I wanted to write about them because Pappa Orville called me today to check in and reminded me of a lot of stuff I had forgotten. Orville is Orville Lee from the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, but I didn’t know that…

Hi My loves, Bye My Loves, See You Soon
This is a weird planet. Just when you think you have everything figured out, things go haywire, and you’re sinking lower than you thought possible. This week my mom’s friend died, and while she won’t admit it, I know it’s thrown her for a loop. There have been more than thirty people that have died,…

Writing For Change Speaker Series: Presented by Writers and Editors of Color Takes Place Every Sunday Morning @ 9 AM PST
Today’s topic was “The Words We Choose Matter,” and I think it’s important to reiterate to some of my followers how important a statement that is. You can find the link at the bottom of this post and in the green lettering above. I think it’s important for me to write about writing because I’m…

What’s Happening in #SurreyBC
Since the election, we’ve been promised change, but all I am hearing is talk about a battle between Surrey City Council and the Surrey Police Force. Now, far be it from me to defend cops, but here’s the thing…the RCMP are far worse than actual cops. Will cops make this community safer? The answer is,…

40 Minutes to 9 AM…Do I Have Anything Important to Say?
So I figured out what my new book is about. It’s going to be called Devil Child, and it’s about my life inside and outside of the church, the differences and how they intersect with what I am doing now and this book y’all…it hates me. Recently someone asked what I was writing about and…

Racism and How to Be Less Offensively White
I’ve been talking about how white people need to stop, over on Medium for a very long time, but I’ve been deliberate about posting on Medium.com because I get a lot more views there, and I wanted people specifically to understand why I am so angry at white folk. Now let me be clear, I…

Recovery Will Be The Most Uncomfortable Experience of Your Life
Preconceived notions, assumptions, and what you thought your reality was going to be will all change once you commit to joining a recovery program and I want you to be prepared for that. Specifically, this is for those with family members who are entering recovery. There’s an excellent chance that you might not get back…

Recovery: Here’s Why It Doesn’t Work
When I was working at the Church I was convinced – by people I worked with – that all I had to do, was pick up a phone, find a place to send someone who wanted to go to recovery, and then their lives would be changed and they would go off to happy land.…

Mental Health: Let’s Talk About It
With Bell Let’s Talk coming up in a couple of weeks, and Survivor’s Connection coming up just after that, I thought now would be a good time to discuss how to discuss the fact that you or someone you love may have mental health issues. The first thing that is important to understand is that…

Barriers to Access ***Trigger Warning*** #SelfHarm
So yesterday I found out that one of my former clients walked into a shelter and cut out his own eye with a spoon. I know this man very well, and I know how sick he is, I also know that he’s not the kind of man to have asked for help, even as badly…

So I’m Working on a New Book
If you’re wondering why I’m not posting every single day it’s because I am working on a new book, and today I have a meeting to talk about licensing the LMBG brand to bring some extra money through the door and I am very excited about this prospect. There are a lot of really amazing…
