Back to the Beginning
For many years, I thought Iβd beat the odds.
I've started writing again under a new moniker. My goal is to talk about my life + adoption, religion, Trauma and estrangement through the lens of being an adoptee. Too many people are talking for us and not listening to us.

Seems worth noting that ChatGPT Health failed to identify medical emergencies more than half the time in a recent study. The company that made that product just signed a deal with the "Department of War" and said trust us, it's all very safe and ethical.

There aren't many hockey players who did not miss a huge amount of elementary/secondary school to attend hockey camps and tournaments.

I don't think I've done this PSA on BlueSky yet: so: if you are diagnosed with Dupuytren's (hands) or Ledderhose (feet) disease, your orthopedist will probably tell you there's nothing they can do until you reach stage 4 and you have lost motion in your fingers/have lumps immobilizing your feet.

Dear Alberta,
In advance of the budget disaster, Turkish Tylenol, crumbling health care and education, coal mines, book bans, swan hunts, and deep, deep corruption, we would like to you blame immigrants. And Ottawa (always Ottawa).
Yours separate but together,
Premier/Governor/Her Ladyship Smith
