Dear (White) Men, I am Not Now, I Have Never Been, And I Will Never Be, Your Property

WARNING: This post contains conversations about slavery, abuse, rape, torture, and trauma. Please practice self care when reading this post. 400 years ago, white men and women trapesed across the seven seas on giant shipping boats, that they then filled with the human bodies of Black men, women, and children. They forced those bodies to…
Think About Everything You Want For Your Life And Say No To Everything That Is Not That

I don’t know who said this, but my Life Coach Jessika has said it to me a couple of times and the more that I think about it the more that I love the idea of saying “no” to things that I don’t want. The other day on Twitter, I was sitting here watching all…
I Mean I Can’t Believe I Have To Say This, But Stop Burning Shit Down In The Middle Of The Wild Fire Pandemic Season

Look, I know what I said in this post about Canada Day and The Catholic Church, and for the most part I stand by it 100%. HOWEVER, in no part of that post did I recommend that people go out of their way to destroy the buildings who house current and practicing Catholics as they…
It’s July 4th 2021, What The Hell Are You Celebrating?

Police Killed 164 Black People In The First Eight Months of 2020, These Are Their Names Now let me ask you again………what the fuck are you celebrating? When I was a little girl, I had a very much idealized idea of America. Like all children around the world I bought into the lie that being…
As A Child Of Abuse, I Need All The Attention I Can Get

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, and I am starting to realize that I am a narcissist. I am fully aware that I spent about 99% of my time thinking about myself, my problems, my reasons for existing, and honestly? I don’t mind it. I know that I am supposed to say that…
OH MY GOD GIVE ME MORE: Dirty Spaghetti Recipe

Okay so I want to go into how I came up with this amazingness, but I’ll do that after, because if you’re anything like me, you just want the fucking recipe. Ingredients: 1 Red bell pepper (can be swapped out for spicier ones for more heat.) 1 half package of pasta (or as much as…
Thoughts and Prayers, Because My Voice Isn’t Strong Enough To Scream For Every Battle

It’s not like they didn’t warn us this was going to happen. It’s not like they didn’t talk about the genocide of Indigenous people for hundreds of years. It’s not like they haven’t been talking about global warming since the 70’s, it’s not like they didn’t talk about the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous…
It’s Canada Day, And I Couldn’t Feel Less Like Celebrating: It’s Time To Abolish The Catholic Church In Canada #CdnPoli

TRIGGER WARNING: This post details crimes of sexual abuse, rape, murder, and trauma, that destroyed hundreds of thousands of Indigenous Lives. Please Practice Self Care before, during, and after, reading. The “reported” total of buried bodies belonging to children of Indigenous people across Canada – so far – is 397, and they still have hundreds…
Dear Bill Cosby, You Deserve Way More Than You Got, Dear Victims, Don’t Let This Stop You From Standing Up Against Abuse: #StayStrong

So it’s that time again where because I speak on mental health, sexual abuse, and trauma, I cannot in good conscience not talk about another mental mind fuck caused by a celebrity shit storm. Growing up the Cosby Show, Family Matters, and Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, were the ONLY Black orientated shows in our house.…
Get Over Your Abandonment Issues, They Serve You Not One Bit

When I was in my mid to late twenties, I had a friend who I spent a great deal of time talking about the world with. He used to tell me that his parents weren’t really his parents, they were just people whose custody he was put into at birth. He had his own issues…
Dreams, Nightmares, Manifestations, And The Survival Of The Angry

Years ago a former – and I do mean former – friend, who worked in a bookstore recommended The Hunger Games, for me to read. Both of us practiced different forms of the Craft, and so we spent a great deal of our time together discussing books and shows that tried to emulate the life…
I Shouldn’t Be Surprised, But Survivor’s Connection Was A Huge Disappointment

So…I have a lot of feelings about what happened last night at Loud Mouth Brown Girl’s first ever live event and I have to tell you…I am really struck by how completely disappointed I am, and the various layers of disappointment that I am experiencing. First off I want to talk about the layers of…
