Jean, like the pants. Brown, like the color. Writer, podcast host @SEEKSafely, mom 🇨🇦+🇺🇸 she/her #BLM My memoir:

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

At my wedding in 2009, my sister was going on about this #selfhelp book she'd seen on @Oprah. 3 months later, she was dead, killed at one of #TheSecret author's retreats.

My mom and I tell Kirby's story and share our loss in our #memoir.

@Kacouc34 @JennyKatsaris @DrDoyleSays @SEEKSafely I don’t think it ever goes away (sorry!). It changes who you are. But you continue to change over time, too, and you learn how to live with it. It does get better. But it’s still always felt.

I’m so sorry for your loss 😔

@metromorning you should clarify: it’s not return to work; they’ve BEEN working all along. It’s return to OFFICE.

…many, many days at the Science Centre when they were little, including the day I was in labour with my younger one.

Now, closed forever? Just like that? Heartbreaking.

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@fordnation This is tragic for the city. No warning. I was looking forward to a final Science Centre visit (in the hopes that it wouldn’t actually be the last) with my kids this summer. We spent…

@DrunkScribe OFF.
Hi! 👋

@StevieWildcard So scary! I hope he has a speedy recovery!

@JeanCBrown Joining her is @DrDoyleSays, a psychologist who has teamed up with @JeanCBrown to create the @SEEKSafely non-profit org and podcast, both aimed at passing legislation within the #SelfHelp industry to prevent abuse in the future.

@Dewiwrites I love magazines!

Lol @metromorning we know the landlords are not taking the units back for “themselves,” right? I was evicted 4 years ago with an N12. Me and my 7 neighbours. The entire block is still empty with a development billboard on it.

@Dewiwrites “Hot salad water” 😂

I love this about English people. There’s this sense of being snobbish about tea, but you’re all over there putting a shitton of sugar and milk in it 😂

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@diannasaurusr3x Oh Dianna. I am so sorry. 😔
He was such a sweetie.

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@Dewiwrites An audible landing… from a spider?????? Fuck no, Dewi. 😱

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@GoodwynPub @ParkergirlUSA Exactly. It’s selfish and myopic. I’d much rather live in a society where fewer (or better yet—no) people are struggling. ❤️

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@GoodwynPub Amazing! I’m so happy to see this happening!

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@ParkergirlUSA @GoodwynPub I paid my loans off, too (only possible due to some specific circumstances—and it was still basically using one better loan to pay off a crappy one). I’m still happy about this loan forgiveness though I’m not benefitting directly, bc it’s about the bigger picture, not just me.

@DrunkScribe Oh. My. God. 🫠🫠🫠

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@HorlockWarlock Tech bros are always “detoxing,” too—all about that wellnessy self-optimization. Lots to play with! I’d 100% read this. For the vibes. 🤗

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@Dewiwrites Or his audition for “Fiddler on the Roof!” 😂

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@DrunkScribe People are ugh. I know you don’t need the reassurance, but for anyone else listening—kids are great. I have kids. But holy fuck, don’t have kids if you don’t want kids. If only everyone was brave enough to make that choice…

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@WillieHandler Also, next Wednesday it’s expected to reach 40. 😱

[Jean Brown *jbBeans8 on the sewing app* @JeanCBrown]

@WillieHandler But remember when we had a drought in May/June? The grass looked like it should be now—yellowed and crisp. But now we’ve had so much rain consistently. Just such weird weather.
