    We started a new series on our Instagram account yesterday called, “Get to Know Me Mondays.” Here’s the first post:

    August 8, 2023

    I must’ve gone on for at least half an hour, if not 45-minutes, while we were driving back from PEI, about whether I should post links to my blog posts on my Instagram Stories. It’s been on my mind for about a week. Every time I ran through an argument, I ended up at the…

  • Deleting Social Media

    Deleting Social Media

    Sometimes, there are things that you just have to do. You can’t think about them any longer. The time comes when you just have to pull the plug and watch the water drain away.

    I’m going to talk a little bit more

    I’m part of a book club at work. It’s the first book club I’ve been a member of. We’re currently reading a book about equity in education. There’s a lot to talk about and I’ve been speaking up more than I normally would.

    Blogging, Vlogging, and Podcasting | Episode 2- The Structure of Each Episode

    We are living in some strange times right now. COVID-19 has covered the entire globe. Here in Ontario, a state of emergency has been declared. Toronto is eerily quiet. There’s almost a 1984-type feeling to all of this with so much of the information I’m getting coming from the television. I hope that you’re all…

    Blogging, Vlogging, and Podcasting | Episode 1: Introduction

    There’s a great quotation by Ira Glass: Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is a gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s…

    This is worth watching.

  • But, I Can Wear a Mankini

    The recent news of a woman who was asked to remove clothing, vaguely resembling a burkini, while sunbathing on a beach in Nice, France, has me in a bit of an uproar. That she was asked by four – FOUR – police officers, two of whom were wearing as much clothing as she was, and was threatened…

  • Just Thinking About Thinking About Things

    It wasn’t too long ago, maybe a couple of months, that the only way I could get an update on what’s been going on in my sister’s life was by sending her a text or giving her a call. Now, I get updates from her on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and her blog. It only dawned…

  • Sketches and planning a zine

    I finished my coursework for today, today. In fact, I finished it in good time. Well, it was late but it was on time.

  • It Would Seem as Though I’ve Been Doing Nothing With My Time

    I’ve been living in Toronto, again, for about three weeks now. On paper, you would think that I’ve been doing nothing with my time, but the truth is much different. I’ve been waiting.

    The Hazlitt Podcast on Truth Telling Blogging

    I like The Hazlitt. I think it’s good, Canadian content that readers and listeners should be tuning into. I also subscribe to their podcast, and I just finished listening to the latest episode: The Arcade: Episode 30, More Truth | Hazlitt. Give it a listen, and a thought. You may also want to subscribe to the podcast,…
