My Crawl Back to Life and The 500 Who Said Yes

The PoisoningIn April 2024 I had surgery to amputate a couple of toes. The surgery was clean. The meds were not. Canada got rid of lead pharmaceutical oversight, so a database played doctor and crashed my medications together. Cymbalta, which I had only been on for six weeks, and hydromorphone. The mix poisoned my brain. […]

I Hope You Stay

December 1st is World AIDS Day. I go back to the day I first heard about this mystery sickness killing gay men. June 5, 1987. I was 22. Six years after the first known case in North America.

In this eye-opening video, Dr. Gabor Maté explores the unique challenges and hidden strengths of gifted and sensitive children. Discover how heightened sensitivity can be both a remarkable […]

Tea and Consent

If someone doesn’t want tea, don’t pour it down their throat. Shocking, right? Apparently not to rape culture — it’s been steeping in excuses for centuries. Time to dump the pot. Stop serving the lies.

Your Dress Got You Raped

Originally Published Oct 27 2025 It’s graduation season—degrees, pride, celebration. You buy the dress, take the photos. But in a rape culture, even that dress can be turned against you. Rape culture thrives on contradiction—it keeps women trapped by demanding the impossible, then blaming them for failing to achieve it. It didn’t just appear out […]
