• Whose Voice Is More Important?

    I think I am trying to practice the art of telling my truth in different voices, in other words, “character creation.” It’s hard when you’re creating characters to ensure that they all have a different tone, a different vibration so that the story doesn’t become stagnant. And I think that this is is what I…

  • Sex After Abuse Takes More Work

    It’s a shift in the way we are as human beings. Prior to being abused we were open with who we were. We were freer, maybe we wore dresses or shorts. Maybe we felt comfortable in our sexuality and our sensuality. After abuse we become something different, a hybrid version of ourselves, somewhat kind of…

  • For Those That Need To Know…It’s Monday

    Today I woke up to seeing someone tell a woman to change her hair color, because she looks better with Black hair than with red hair. That woman was Mona Eltahawy, who is the last woman on this planet to do something because a man tells her to do it. I find that incredibly inspiring…

  • Would You Change The World If You Could?

    I am watching Charmed, the original series, and it’s the episodes with the Avatars. Those who believe that they can eradicate darkness from the world. All it takes is a sleep spell that puts everyone to sleep and letting majick completely rewrite their brain. In this Utopia there would be no pain or suffering, no…

  • Get Out Of My Way

    I grew up in a house where telling a woman what to eat would get you dead.— The Other Jane (@OrphanageRules) May 3, 2020 WARNING: THIS POST MAY TRIGGER SOME PEOPLE DUE TO THIS BEING ABOUT RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE. PLEASE READ WITH ALL THE CAUTIONS. I did not grow up in such a house.…

  • My Bad Mood Is Not Your Fault

    Yesterday my mom started asking me about what happened when I was sixteen. We’re trying to get counselling for me, but we have to prove that what I say actually happened before the BC Government will pay for my counselling. Unfortunately there is no proof, and thus I do not qualify for funded counselling. So…

  • Fear in Isolation

    Once upon a time I had this dream that I was building a sanctuary somewhere in the middle of the woods. I spent a great deal of time building this sanctuary, there were four giant square pillars of wood that I wrapped in bright shiny material to represent the four corners; Earth Air Fire and…

  • Art Imitating Life Imitating Art

    That is what is happening right now. I am looking at the world through my computer screen and television and everything is so fucking surreal. Back in 2003 a disorganized group of human beings around the world started referring to themselves as Anonymous, they donned masks and they marched in the streets across the globe,…

  • New Project Launch

    So I am doing what’s called a “soft” launch, essentially I am telling you it exists, but I am not really actively promoting it yet. I am working on another blog…if you will I am having a blog affair, with a project called Lumiere Magazine, or Light Magazine. It’s all written by fictional characters, but…

  • Who Are You Trying To Be?

    Have you ever asked yourself that question? It’s something that I am starting to ask myself. Beyond drowning my lungs in coffee and cigarettes, I don’t really know how to heal from sexual abuse. I am learning that talking it out here on the blog sure, that helps, reaching out to others helps. I am…

  • Please, And I Can’t Stress This Enough…Do Not Inject Yourself With Lysol

    I don’t understand people who support and believe in Donald Trump. I can’t comprehend what you’re thinking when you support a person who even sarcastically suggests that you inject Lysol into your fucking veins. Inevitably there is going to be that person who actually tries it out of desperation, already people in Maryland are wondering…

  • Holy Hell…I’ve Gotten So Much Work Done…

    I have always intended for this website to be a catalog of my writing. I wanted to create a digital work book of the book that’s in my head. Part of me figured it would help me finally write the book and partially because I thought it would be cool to see the book come…
