I Know I’m Late To The Conversation, But Let’s Talk Comic Books
A few years ago I went to FanCon which is Vancouver’s version of Comic Con only no way nearly as cool. I met a bunch of famous people, and I met a bunch of non famous people, and I realized that I missed out on a lot not reading comic books. In my formative years…

Can We Normalize Seeing Large Women In Starring Roles?
Back in the late 90s the world was all about Camryn Manheim, a plus sized actress who has starred in shows like Law and Order, The Practice and Ally McBeal. There was a huge emphasis on the fact that in one of her shows (I can’t remember which one), that not only was she big,…

I’m Tired And Cranky, And So I am Writing To Feel Better
Sometimes the demons just won’t shut up. They constantly want you to believe stuff that isn’t true, they want to trick you into agreeing with their bad ideas, because they say it will make you feel better. Trust me it won’t. I saw enough people living on the streets to know that the answer to…

I Owe My Freedom To The Freed Black Americans who Were Enslaved By White Americans
I keep thinking about this…dream, or vision, or whatever, I had about two or three years ago. I remember sitting on my porch, it was a beautiful summer day, and I was listening to some blues and smoking a joint. I could almost hear the sounds of the enslaved Americans in the fields, I could…

“I Don’t Want To Be A Success”

It’s the Last Day of 2020 And I have Tears
These are not all happy tears, because let’s face it, it’s been a year, but they aren’t all sad tears because this year has been amazing for me. I have really started to step into my own this year. I have found friends around the world that I didn’t know I needed, they helped me…

420 POSTS! Which Means This Post Is About Weed
Several years ago, I went to one of my neighbors apartments and asked if I could join them for New Years Eve, because I was alone and I didn’t really feel like being alone. We had a full blown conversation about how I should switch from drinking to weed, and looking back now I remember…

Speak it into Existence: My 2020 thank you to the readers
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a model. I thought modeling would catapult me to fame and fortune, and I figured if I could make it as a model, then I could do anything in the world. I wanted to be a model so much, that I would sneak out of…

Trigger warning, this is going to be some tough realities about suicide, so prepare yourselves. Tonight I was playing my favorite soon to be deleted Facebook game on Facebook, and I heard this thought, “I have nothing left to live for.” Here’s the thing, this wasn’t my thought, it was just a thought I had,…

Dear Trump Allies, Former, and Current, You Don’t Get A Pass Because Of Your Regrets
Before you say that what I have to say doesn’t matter because I am Canadian, let me assure you, that as a Canadian who has had to bear witness to the bullshit that is American politics for the last four years, I have every right to weigh in with what is going on in the…
