Life is heavy right now, both personally and across the country. This is a tragedy. Not just a headline, not a chance to debate.  My heart breaks for the community of Tumbler Ridge.

Your best work doesn’t come from peace. it comes from pressure, chaos, and maybe a little delusion. keep going. As for me? Currently running on caffeine, cortisol, and compliments. Happy Thursday, my creatives.

New year. New chaos. Here’s the plan. Mental health, music, muscles, and making cool shit with even cooler people. (And really, I should learn how to sing on key. And what a key is. Where to find it...)

Last night at The Palomino: Blue Odeur brought riffs, chaos & a Nerf gun. Tawnibias melted minds with vibes & velvet. Wish Whip hexed us all in the best way. The New Cinematics? Horror Goddeses at their best. 5🤘 out of 5🤘 My ears are still buzzing. My heart’s still full.

2025 was wild and beautiful. The people I met, the places I went, the things we built together. I’m deeply thankful for everyone in my life. As a few of you know, the last little while has been a lot. Things I never expected to face. But we’re still standing. Here’s to 2026.

Yeah, I tried my best, but the fates were stacked against me, and dropped too many things for me to handle. So, instead of rushing and putting out the project quickly and probably poorly, I'm going to take my time.  That's it for now. You all rock.

They rise from shadow. They scream from silence. Echoes of the Ancestors is a new Indigenous-led horror anthology where ancient creatures step out of myth and into the modern world.  Premieres November 28th

For the ones who touched the edge but never crossed. Who burned for meaning in places that never gave it. Who still sing in the silence. #SpilledInk #ModernLiturgy #PoetryOfPain #AscendCollapse #DarkPoetry #EmotionalAlchemy #WritersOfInstagram #PoetryCommunity #ShadowWork

Hello new BlueSky friends! I finally feel like I can have a bit of a community here after being added to a starter pack. If you don't know me: I'm a writer, a poet, and a big time nerd.

Mini-Me wants to play her first D&D game with me next time she's on a school break. So, I'm going to build a one-shot for her, my son, and my sister. I'm thinking a heist, involving adorable creatures that are also murderous. Seems right up her alley.

Amazing meetings today, some serious work done on local events and projects I have in the mix. Some writing, a solid workout and a long walk on a beautiful day. I did also completely forget that I put my laundry in the wash this morning and it sat there all day. But hey, I've had worse ADHD days.
