Enjoying my mid-century modern phone case and note books designed by ⁦@GailMyerscough⁩ in Manchester. If mid-century is your vibe check out her designs!

I wrote a thing ... and it was published in @wordgathering Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature. "Promises, Promises and the Blood Clot" explores the intersectionality of managing a career and a disability ... or the day I threw a blood clot.

Although we are over capacity, our doors will remain open to emergency intakes. Anyone fleeing the Canadian wildfires and seeking refuge in Calgary will be met with resources at Calgary Humane Society.

Love my new @GailMyerscough designed cell phone case! Goes well with the mid-century modern pillow cases she designed. My only regret is that I forgot to request Pete the cat to pack my order! Next time, eh! 😸

Unflinchingly raw in its honesty. Journalist Brandi Morin @Songstress28 illuminates the roots of institutionalized intergenerational trauma and charts a new road toward personal healing and reconciliation for herself and her people. Highly recommend. It’s widely available.
