My name has been legally changed for a year now!

It's also National Aunt and Uncle Day, but because not all of us are aunts or uncles, I'm gonna call it National Siblings of Your Parents Day.

Hey, everyone!

I thought I'd let y'all know that my mom and oldest sister will be selling my fidget toys again, this time at the Sunflower Festival, which is this weekend.

Just like last time, you'll find them at J&C Handmade.

It's Disability Pride Month.

I have a learning disability as well as epilepsy, though I haven't had seizures since 2006. I also stutter a lot.

It hasn't always been easy being a disabled person, but I'm still here.

“During the colonial era European powers exported these legal systems, and the laws criminalising LGBT people, across the globe, imposing them at times over diverse indigenous traditions where same-sex activity and gender diversity was not necessarily taboo.” www.thepinknews.com/2025/07/09/h...

There are now 65 countries where it's illegal to be LGBTQ+: one more since 2024

We take a look at all the countries and territories where it is still illegal to be gay or LGBTQ+ – and examine the role colonialism played.

Happy Canada Day!

I acknowledge that I live on Treaty One Territory and that Indigenous Peoples, including Two-Spirit people, have faced colonization and discrimination throughout history.

This country should be a safe place for every Canadian.

My chosen name has been legally changed for 11 months now.

I think...

Counting on the calendar is confusing.

I purchased My Cozy Room All in one to celebrate.

Reminder: I still have fidgets in stock, so please comment or message me if you want some.

They cost $2.00 a piece and they're small enough to carry around in your bag or pockets.

My mom and oldest sister may sell some for me at the Sunflower Festival next month.

One time I dreamed that I had a bi girlfriend whose hair matched the bi flag colours.

We danced and listened to speeches at a gay bar.

Was this my brain telling me to go to a gay bar? Will I eventually have a girlfriend who's bisexual? Maybe someday.

Asexuality is not a choice or a mental illness. It's a very real and valid sexual orientation.

As an asexual who knows other people on the ace spectrum I can confidently say that we're all different, but something we have in common is that we're not broken.

If you live in Manitoba and wanna purchase my fidget toys, please let me know and we will figure out the details. I still have a lot of them in stock.

My mom and oldest sister may sell them at a sale in July.

I'll keep y'all updated.
