So since I have decided to throw my hat in as a blogger, I have been looking for ways to not starve to death as one, part of which includes getting my taxes sorted and well, trying to go legit. And that includes looking into tax exemptions which may or may not be available. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/menu-eng.html […]
I am now offering peer to peer advertising services via my website here on a negotiable contractual basis; my preference will continue to be given to charitable and socially beneficial organizations, but I do have to eat. Writing isn’t, oddly enough, known for it’s ability to put money in your pocket easily. Peer to Peer […]
I recently learned that in the Congo there are intertribal wars being fueled by the need for labour workers to mine for a rare earth mineral used in the creation of cellphones, and that whether or not a girl is wearing a pair of panties there can determine whether or not she is raped or […]
I had envisioned a fashion game to go with my blog where the graphics in the shop linked to actual fair trade cooperatives and original point of sales vendors, with the option to buy in for the right to buy any designs you made in the design shop using available materials, so that if the […]

I don’t go out very often because I deal with severe social anxiety and depression as a result of my time on the Training Floor and repeated injuries – it often seems as though my entire life is dedicated simply to physio, walking the dog, writing, or sleeping – but when I do go out, […]
Today I went into town and went shopping, as per my regular MO. I am looking into work and moving, and rather than have to bring boxes in and out of my rather cramped space more than once, I decided instead to buy another trunk to put my things in, which ran me $30.00 at […]
Fair trade principles state that through the intellectual and financial empowerment of individuals and through community building, advocacy and awareness campaigns, financial literacy and personal development programs, we can improve not just the quality of life but both industry and environmental standards. One of the primary difficulties I encounter while advocating for trafficking victims and […]
So it’s like 3 am and I’m thinking about torture, black sites, abolitionism, the Dark Web, and trying to figure out how to fund a life. It’s dark except for my smoke and the cell light here in Stormcage, just the way I like it, and all I can hear is The Hum. They’ve been […]
