Midwifery, building community, gardening, my pupps, Canada.
Herbalism, living with respect and honesty and humor, communication, creating and being a part of community, sewing, homeopathy, painting, especially with metal and found objects and hidden words woven in, learning from my mother about the practice of weaving, knowing there is always something else to learn or see or understand than what i know, hot flirtations that feel like a secret, changing the world through accessable health care provided in a capacity that is inviting of re/transformation in health confidence and revolutionary comfort /understanding/trust/triumph in our bodies and lives (yes I believe that can happen in the context of accessing/receiving health care if even in some minute or subversive or silent manner), birth.Leonard Peltier ~ Americas Mandela

Revolutionaries. Midwives. Passionate women, gender queer, and transgender heroes and friends. People who like to shake things up. Parents. People who believe community is about honesty and communication and support and mutual aid even when it isn't convenient or comfortable. People who want to explore new ways to love life in small and quiet moments. People who tell their secrets, and people who will keep them if told. Hopeless romantics who are passionate about the work they do in the world. Canadians. No really, Canadians. People who grew up in Canada. People who have immigrated to Canada. People who's hearts are armed with struggle in Canada.
Bruce springsteen, Billy Bragg, old country, folky stuff, political and underground and radio hip hop, mirah, Katie's cd collection, when my admired sing to themselves, Sticks and Stones, Crimpshrine. I am really into Mystic right now. Rumbleseat. I am also slightly stuck in lez rock circa 1993.
Antonia's Line, The Legend of Billie Jean, In the Mood for Love, Hal Hartley films, Amelie, Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael. I am a sucker for romantic comedies with hetero-forever backdrops (I'm working on it though).
I think Todd Bertuzzi is the shit but he isnt a tv show- watching Bertuzzi on TV? We'll see, now that Floriduh snapped him up. My so called life, 21 jumpstreet, Fame. You can tell i havent watched tv for years. Oh, i like crime lab movies, i like the science behind it all. CSI. I sometimes like medical shows but usually get upset and stop watching them partway through. The Young Ones.
Herbal health and healing, scientific texts about gender, sewing and quilting books, Alice Munro, bell hooks, short stories of fiction that are linked together by characters who triumph in the end and might be real, books that make me learn new things about providing accessible health care.
