  • Lol … I’ve been to restaurants where the waiter awkwardly asked me if I had a reservation.

    I’m obviously indigenous … in Canada where I’m from, most people like me who are big brown and long hair can safely be assumed to be indigenous

    I usually act out in one of two ways

    I look at them seriously and tell them that’s racist … then smile right away to tell them I’m joking

    Or I tell them that yes I do have a reservation thank you for asking.

    Any way I act, I tell them right away I’m having fun and 9/10 times, I get to have a good laugh with people.




  • All throughout history it’s our young people who are brave enough to stand up to fascism, authoritarianism and oppression.

    I ride a motorcycle, an old BMW and I named her Sophie. I don’t plaster it all over the bike, it’s just a silly thing I do for myself to remind me of the past. The name is after Sophie Scholl, a young 21 year old university student who stood up and protested against the Nazi regime in her country in 1943.

    Even in the face of severe punishment she kept protesting until they arrested her and put her to death.

    This young man is giving up so much, maybe giving up their future, to fight for all of us … there is no greater bravery than that.


  • Violence and power … their logic always leads to violence and power. But in the cowardly underhanded way possible.

    If the previous president had been removed, they would have joined the mob and led the march if it had been successful.

    If someone does anything this time, they’ll take it as an excuse to go after everyone they don’t like using law enforcement and the military.

    If none of it works out, they’ll disappear into the shadows and wait to reappear again and let lower level people take the fall.

    If anything succeeds, they’ll jump on a podium to lead the angry mob.

    At any point, they’ll just stand in the sidelines claiming that they’ll never support violence.

    This basically North American high school PTSD

    I knew very few people in my high schools … yes high schools, I went to three different schools and in every one I didn’t know many people

    In my first year of school … I quickly found out … you don’t take a shit in school … EVER!

    It’s basically like prison rules … if you ever get caught in the bathrooms, you’re on your own as officials, teachers and adults are seldom there and you are stuck behind closed doors with other students, most who are older than you. So all you do is pee as fast as possible and leave. You usually wait until times and moments when its quiet and no one is there … or less likely to be there.

    It’s nuts because the more I write about it and remember it … the more I felt like it was more like prison rules or an institution rather than a school for children or teens.
