New event venue space at Ross Block on Whyte Ave in Edmonton. It is so pretty! Suite1894 is the name

I wrote a children’s book to talk about mental health. I have had many encouraging me to publish it. But where and how?

[Cynthia Priest (Chiew) @CynPriest]

Having bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness. It isn’t something we can “think positive” to navigate our daily lives. We are extremely hard on ourselves. We expect A LOT of ourselves. We have a tendency to self-loathe, self-abandon. The mood swings aren’t fun.

[Cynthia Priest (Chiew) @CynPriest]

Nobody talks much about bipolar disorder. There is shame attached to it. A stigma. Let’s start by NOT saying you ARE bipolar. Say, “You have bipolar.”
We feel things more intensely. We get easily annoyed. You want to help break the stigma? Don’t just do #BellLetsTalk

Piece by piece
I sweep the distorted memories
of what I thought were happy times
If time could freeze
The hope I’d thought I’d find
I long for peace of the mind

Total is 11.47+2.18+31.15

I don’t shop at Walmart. Walmart online doesn’t seem secure. I removed my credit card but people are able to lift that older card which I no longer use

[Cynthia Priest (Chiew) @CynPriest]

@Walmart I got an email and text saying that an order is being placed and would arrive June 11 but I didn’t place it. And it is going to Ontario. I don’t live there. Is there a security compromise going on? It is an order of pens for 11.47$. Very concerning

[Cynthia Priest (Chiew) @CynPriest]

So, moral of the story: don’t save the credit card number on your wallet on your @Walmart dot ca account. Someone was able to add an address to Ontario and buy pens.

I always get asked by random people.. what camera I used.

I find it a rather odd question. Naturally, I tell them I use a Z6iii.

However, it isn’t the camera but the knowledge behind how to use one.

I’ll prove it to you that a very old Nikon D40 can take great photos.

Terrifying seeing the smoke of the West Edmonton fire from yesterday afternoon on the way back from Morinville.

Costing analysis as a photographer isn’t a flex. It is a must when you are a solo entrepreneur!

What festivals are worth checking out this spring and summer in Edmonton?

[Cynthia Priest (Chiew) @CynPriest]

I manifested working with a sushi restaurant.

The rainbow roll was fresh! Tenkuu in Wetaskiwin 🥰

Hey @UberEats
One of your drivers rang my doorbell at 1:45 am earlier today and he was very rude, insisting that he arrived at the correct address and that we ordered the food. We are parents with young children, in bed by 10 pm. The whole family was woken up. We are very tired

[Cynthia Priest (Chiew) @CynPriest]

I survived Thursday with a migraine and I also survived Edmonton traffic. So many people forgetting to drive defensively — remember, like my late father said in traffic, “Not your daddy’s road!”
Everyone wins when we don’t crash, ok?

@charliersmith1 Love is beautiful. 🥰❤️ Ignore others.

@RadioGenoa This thread reeks of Islamophobia. This is why the West would never understand why Asians hate the West. Growing up, I was forced to spew anti-West propaganda to earn good marks in essays. Now living in the West, all I see is ignorance & apathy.

March is fraud awareness month.

Someone called me saying that they are from @RogersHelps

Then he asked how much I am paying for my monthly bill.
I said, you would know if you worked for them. You are likely a scammer.

I hung up

I keep getting those follower buy out things on IG. Here is what I wrote.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the vainest of them all?
Followers who don’t engage
Won’t buy or pay your wage
