Slow fashion is the idea that clothing should be made ethically, using solid materials and styles that last, and preferably materials with a low ecological footprint. Supporting slow fashion means shopping locally at boutiques which investigate their sources, buying from local seamstresses or tailors, and avoiding box stores as much as possible. For me, this […]
I recently had a chat with an individual with whom I have been conducting business with on an entirety pro bono basis. Said individual remains suspicious of me despite the fact that I’ve offered nothing but support and solid information to, and so it leads to this post. If you wish for me to work […]
Boundary setting is an important part of self care and is often overlooked in our digital environment.As an empathic healer and consultant I am often asked to provide my services and time at no charge, day or night, with little regard for personal and professional boundaries.

During his tenure he chained CN Rail’s trains to the track for nonpayment of rent, built the first jail (using his basement originally; I used to play in his house) and built the first one-room schoolhouse. There’s a statue […]
First, I need to explain that to me, neuroscience is not a cold unfeeling thing. It’s as close to working with what we might call “divinity” that I can think of, and should be approached with sensitivity and compassion – even a sense of sacredness. My introduction to neuroscience is profoundly personal. First, there’s the […]
While I am looking for work and a place to live, even if just on a rather periphery basis, I am supposed to be going into town a minimum of three times a week for a half day without getting sick or having a panic attack, and work up from there. Today I went shopping […]
I started a video chat room on a free webcam/camblogging site which traditionally caters to the ever increasing demand for free sex. Granted, as real estate goes, I probably could have found a better site for hosting purposes, but I’m not so sure about that. http://www.onwebcam.com/PrivateCandy35#broadcast After all, if I am going to work in […]
Humans are such painfully confusing creatures to me some days. I have never been male, so I can’t imagine what it is like, but when you are born a woman, people constantly police everything about you.
