True Recovery Is Selfishly Privileged
Not everyone who needs the space to heal gets what they need. That’s just a fact, we are fond of saying “The system failed…” but the truth is that society is failing, as a whole. We are a failed experiment. We claim that we want to help the most marginalized among us, and yet we…

How Do You Trust Your Mental Health Provider?
Thank you to @BlackSpectrumScholar for bringing this issue to my attention long after I followed LB Health. I appreciate the Neurodivergent community for sharing their stories and helping put Mental Health up front.

“Mutual Aid Is A Scam”, “Protect Your Wealth” and Other “NIMBY” Bullshit
Yeah, I said it, I remember distinctly when I was working at Surrey Urban Mission Society. In the early years, it was just me, Maggie, my mom, and our volunteer Margret, who was older than dirt was dry. The four of us helped house upwards of seventy people a night from November to March for…

If Aliens Are Real, How Many More Lies Are They Telling?
When I was growing up in the 90’s aliens were a cliche. Everyone knew that Area 51 existed, it was literally the US government’s worst kept secret, and we all knew they were studying real life aliens, but for decades they tried to keep it a secret and failed. Thousands of people who worked there…

I Don’t Want to Date White Men…Ever Again
When I was being abused, 99.9% of my abusers were white men. There were a few women, and some people of color, a few Black men, but not many. Most of the Black men in my life tried to move Heaven and Earth to protect me as a child. But my mom, not knowing what…

Acknowledge Yourself, Bitch
I’ve been thinking a lot about a speech that Barinder Rasodi gave about a decade ago, for She Talks. Barinder said that women of colour don’t stop and acknowledge their accomplishments enough. She said that the reason we don’t do this is because we both don’t have time and don’t think it’s important for us…

I’m Still Fucking Here…
Yes, friends, it’s true. Medium and I have parted ways for now. At this point in my life, it’s time to start making money from the emotional labour I put into the world. It takes a lot out of me emotionally and physically to be able to say the things “I” need to say, regardless…

“Your War Is Over John…”
There is something to be said for war films. Every single one of them epically depicts what happens when a soldier gets home from “Work.” Sometimes it’s a love story, other times it’s a nightmare, but when it comes to films, theater productions, and television shows about PSTD, it’s always a fucking soldier. “No one…

Did You Get A Love Letter? Good, Great, Wonderful, I Was Hoping You’d Find Me…
Every year at Pride events, and exclusively at Pride, I hand out little cards with a picture representing this website, and myself, and a little note on the back. Each note is handwritten and designed to say “I see you” in a variety of ways. I started writing the letters nine years ago, and I…

Everyone Needs To Look In The Mirror
Whether you want to or not, I think I need to return to doing mirror work. Not just to make myself feel good about myself, that’s well I think that’s step one. There are all kinds of things you can use mirror work for, one of them is self reflection. Looking inward is difficult because…
