I wrote this poem in anger over a mug, the same I wrote about in a previous post. It's honestly an ugly piece of crockery regardless of what it says.

I've rewritten this post several times now but it always finds new ways to burst out of me. Hopefully it goes some way to understanding how I grew up with a cop dad.

About Me

I am a white settler originally from England, living on Treaty 7 land in so-called Alberta, Canada. I use she/her pronouns. I am part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, disabled, and neurodivergent. My ancestry is almost wholly from the British isles. This blog is my attempt to share my processing with others as I endeavour to unpack what I was taught in my childhood and how I see the world now as I continue to learn.

I often find my thoughts running away from me and I try to find others to share my thinking with. Growing up I found much of my education about privilege, colonialism, social justice, and feminism through the internet. As an adult, I felt like I should put some of my own learnings back out into the world.
