Everybody Lies

February 1, 2021 Noah

We all deserve this magical life we have been given, regardless of our differences. Everybody lies, to others and to ourselves, but we can choose not to, and instead let the truth tell us who we are.

Grief & Its Cycles

November 5, 2020 Marcelle Longlade

Grief has been a constant whisper that has come over me since March. I feel it in my chest. My heart aches subtly with despair. There’s a weight on my shoulders that wasn’t there before.

Collectively and personally, we are all grieving in some manner. I know we are all craving the normal that is receding further away into the review mirror that is the past; slipping away from us. It’s hard to let go…

Land Acknowledgement

As a platform operated by a Métis woman, this acknowledgment is to lift up the sacred diversity of the original First Peoples and caretakers of this land that we live, work, and thrive on in Taranton, Toronteau, and T’karonto.

We acknowledge we operate on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Attawanderons, the Huron-Wendat, the Anishinaabeg, the Mississaugas of the Credit, and Haudenosaunee. All are home to the Dish With One Spoon—a treaty based on stewardship, reciprocal sharing, and sophisticated governance and healing practices, and is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.

We acknowledge that we are all treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.
