The Sky Is Orange….America Is Burning….And So is Canada…
The Wildfires. One of the largest is happening in California, and was started by fireworks that were set off at a gender reveal party. The audacity of it is what I find offensive. That people make the choice on a regular basis not to care about their neighbors and friends for the sake of showmanship…

Enough Is Enough
Today I found myself setting a boundary, rather forcefully, and I feel better for having done it. I am so tired, physically, emotionally, spiritually exhausted of living my life, largely because of the isolation. That’s been the hardest part. It was easy the first few months, because I was already used to being alone, but…

55 Days: Personal Check In
This is the part of the film where everything is at stake for the main characters. The world is ending. Alien’s are on the way, the hero’s are down and out, and they’re genuinely sure they’re not going to survive. The entire theater is taking a collective breath as they watch their favorite characters turn…

Your Problem With My Skin Color Is None of My Business
I have been thinking a lot about skin color recently. There is a lot of talk about the fact that light skinned Black people get more attention then dark skinned Black folk. There’s a picture of the super hero known as Storm floating around, and although she’s South African, Storm has traditionally been known as…

The Mixing of Races Is The Next Evolutionary Step In Humanity’s Cycle
I’m watching Ransom right now, and it’s an episode about racists who are threatening to blow up a bunch of shit, in order to prove that colored folk and white folk shouldn’t mix. I’ve also been thinking about the universe…for months actually. Specifically how it got started. I believe in the beginning there was nothing,…

Depression is Debilitating
Someone asked me recently why I am afraid to leave my house, part of it is the mind crippling fear that I am going to get jumped by someone who hates me for the things I say and have said on this website. But part of it is that I am dealing with depression, lack…

I Am Done Apologizing
For years, I felt bad for trying to stand up for myself. For asking questions that I didn’t know how to find the answers to. For thinking that I deserved knowledge simply because that was always my goal on this earth. When I was a little girl, I had this vision of myself sitting in…

So Many Of Us Suffer in Silence…I Am Not One Of Them
For years I didn’t talk about what I was going through, or had been through. When I did, it came out like verbal diarrhea, often without me being able to control the words coming out of my mouth. I keep thinking about Mr. Chadwick Boseman, and the fact that he chose to keep his battle…

All The Places I’ll Never See If I Don’t Get Past This Fear Of Travelling…
Yesterday I got to sit in on a lovely meeting hosted by Dr. De Vida Gill, who is an amazing woman, writer, and creative who inspired me to write this post. Once in awhile she hosts these meetings and asks us to think about certain questions or ideas that we wouldn’t have thought about otherwise.…

Trauma Response Is A Valid Medical Issue…I Swear I’m Not Just An Asshole
I’ve been thinking about people. Specifically the kind of people that treat you one way one moment, and then treat you a different way the next. When I first started smoking weed, I held onto this idea that I loved the people in my past, with an iron fist. I convinced myself that if I…
