Continue Your Activism Beyond the Awareness Month
June is a big awareness month, with both Pride Month and Indigenous History Month occurring. Now that June has come to an end and the rainbow logos are disappearing (hey wordpress… my app literally changed back from rainbow to blue on the 30th, it wasn’t even July yet) and the spots on TV about Indigenous…

Mid-Week Procrastination
It’s another week, another round of vaccine clinics. Then I think I have a couple week of normal work schedules, although we are moving back into the office on Monday, which I am more than slightly bummed about. I’m really going to miss using my lunch hour to do chores so that I don’t have…

Weekend in Kenora
So basically I needed to get out. It had been three months of basically complete social isolation beyond Zoom meetings and vaccine clinics and I needed to get out of this tiny town. Also, Ontario had been in Step 1 of re-opening for a couple weeks and I was starting to lose my mind with…

Obsessions: June 26
Well I did not write blog posts for Thursday and Friday, I had every intention, but I should have known I would be too tired after each day of vaccine clinics to do anything besides the bare minimum of taking care of myself. And the power went out after this crazy wind/rain/hail storm on Wednesday…

Mid-Week Procrastination
This feels kind of ironic to write this week as this week I do not need anything to get me through the week as a) Monday was a holiday for me and b) today I am heading up to one of the communities we serve, North Spirit Lake First Nation, to help with youth vaccine…

Trends are the worst
I can’t stop thinking about trendiness, “cheugy”, and classism. Like literally can’t stop, it’s like my new intrusive thought. It started innocently enough, I would scroll through reels or TikToks about what’s cheugy or trends from the nineties or noughties and think to myself, “Thanks mom for not letting us dress like that.”, which then…

Indigenous People’s Day
Today is National Indigenous People’s Day in Canada! Today is a celebration of the cultures, traditions, languages, and peoples that have lived on Turtle Island since time immemorial. It falls in June, Indigenous History Month, and I feel that this year’s Day falling on the Summer Solstice is probably particularly auspicious, as Indigenous people’s tell…

Obsessions: June 19
It was a week – I thought when I left vet med I was leaving the days when your face hurts when you get off and all you can do is sit in your car (or office chair in the work from home world) and stare off into the middle distance and can’t even process…

The Roommate Decision Making Game
I’ve been living alone in my two-bedroom apartment since I moved up here. I’ve been liking it a lot, however I am not loving how much the utilities are on my own. And we haven’t even gotten to winter yet and I am super nervous about the electric bill in the winter because I have…

Confident Bishes Unite!
So if you aren’t a Sweaty Bish that title and that phrase probably don’t make any sense at all, if you are a member of the SBC please say hi! Let’s be friends! So last year in May or June? I realized that the pandemic would not be over by summer and that I needed…
