And it's not that I haven't wanted to: indeed there have been numerous topics that I've felt strongly enough to post to Facebook, to tweet, to have good honest conversations about in person, and yet I haven't been writing all that much. Not in the physical pen on paper world, not on my blog here.… Continue reading I haven't blogged in months

It has been a while since I've blogged. Instead, I've chosen to tweet a lot and try to post to Facebook regularly, but I figured tonight that it's been long enough since I blogged last (January) and really although I've been procrastinating putting together a 'real' website with a WordPress blog of sorts I'll stick… Continue reading Back to blogging

A lot of people have negative things to say about Canada Post. Generally, I don't. In fact, I think Canada Post is the most reliable, inexpensive way of shipping letter mail and parcels across Canada and from Canada around the world. I much prefer it as a shipping option for packages to UPS, FedEx etc.… Continue reading On my love/hate relationship with Canada Post

Ah, people have begun to ask for this, so here I go typing this up! And this year there are a few noteworthy wishes and desires along with the usual. I maintain two wishlists online: one is on Amazon.ca and only consists of things I stumble upon on Amazon.ca so it's pretty limited but does… Continue reading My Christmas Wish List!

… which really seems to be something I've been doing far too much of lately. Coupled with the utter exhaustion that has been plaguing me on and off as of late (I'm not sure if it's related to the arm numbness thing or if it's a symptom of academic burnout or something else entirely or… Continue reading On thinking too much…

There are times when I don't choose to speak up. Sometimes that's because I know that the response will be 'it's just a joke, what's the harm' or something similar. When I'm considered too 'young', too female or too 'ethnic' to be listened to. When these people are several times my age and already far… Continue reading Comments on an instance of casual racism/religious discrimination

And that, my friends is probably the best way of summarizing my headspace for the moment. I'm not entirely sure why I've chosen to dwell as much as I have lately on interpersonal relations (both in a positive and in a negative way) but I'm guessing it has something to do with it being a… Continue reading Life is, uh, complex

… and while I've spent a bunch of time during the past year not having enough energy (I really ought to be more energetic!), and not being quite as productive as I'd like to be (sure, I'm not superhuman, but this has been ridiculously different than what used to be my norm), I like to… Continue reading Haven't posted in a while, but I guess I'm a year older…

Oh wow, how time flies. Later this month I turn another year older and I dunno, it's been a tough year on me mentally. It feels like there's so much my life is lacking at the moment, and in the last day or so it has gone through more upheaval (yay?)… we'll see where this… Continue reading On turning another year older, and the expected wish list posting…

I am a woman. I am an individual. I am a student, an employee, a friend, a family member, an acquaintance, a social media user and more… I am a person. This was somewhat resolved way back in Canada's history with the Persons case where women were INDEED deemed to be persons. So why then… Continue reading I am not an object, a plaything, a toy; I am not YOURS; I am not a belonging; I am rather annoyed.
