My mother was advised to have an abortion when she became pregnant with me (she was at an age where pregnancy carried more risk). I believe it was my mother's right to choose whether or not to follow through with that pregnancy - as it should be for every mother.

A year ago today, my dad Clifford passed away to cancer. I never really discussed it. The world was in a weird place (and still is), and we weren't able to have a funeral to say our final goodbyes in a traditional way - so maybe a tweet is fine in its own way. 1/6

Today I witnessed someone return two carts at the grocery store by riding both of them, spread eagle (between them) across the parking lot. It was majestic, and I didn’t get it on video. I have failed you and will delete my account post haste.

I have things I want to say, but don't know how to say them, so I'm going to shut up and elevate a voice who does know how to say it. This is not an invitation to hear counter arguments - I'm feeling pretty close minded about all of this right now.

THREAD: Here's the thing about racism in North America. It's only a little bit about hurling rude epithets about skin colour. That’s barely the tip of the sword. Racism is conditioning. It's impulse.

To anyone who has ever started a post with “Am I the only one who doesn’t like *insert negative opinion about popular thing here*”. No, you are never the only one. This is a planet of over 7.5 billion people. It’s not surprising or interesting that some of you don’t like things.

Christy was up early for work this morning and snapped a pic. This position was a first. My desk, my table, my bed. Is nothing sacred to this creature? Also, why is he so pleasant to snuggle? Makes being annoyed with him extra difficult.

Exercising has become a part of my routine over the past couple years. It is my cookie-eating-counter-balance-measures. Eating cookies is easier, but the running is more satisfying. Two years ago I could run 2-3km. To my other runner/walkers, or to-be enthusiasts: don’t quit! 🏃🏻‍♂️

What’s incredible to me is that hotels collude to ensure they EACH buy a distinctly unique shower control device from one another! When did these monsters decide extracting water from their shower heads should require the expertise of a NASA space launch operator?!

@ithayla I’m weirdly upset that shower controls are not universally more standardized because I have had more moments than I’d like to admit where it took me a while to figure out whether to push, pull, twist or some combo of all of those to get what I want. Lol

I never questioned how deeply my father loved me, and that's a powerful thing to take with you through your entire life. Parents don't have to be perfect, that just need to be 'good enough' in certain ways - and in the ways that counted, he was perfect enough. 4/6

I'll likely make a video about it at some time (it's partly why I paused the vlog), but for now I'll just say how thankful I was to have a father like I did. I hit the lottery there. Loving, thoughtful, kind, but also disciplined and principled. 2/6

Self isolating after travel, and on day 13 - almost done. Do have a new vlog being edited, but likely won't be ready for release until next week, so in the meantime, here's something that makes me happy: music and birds (and I suppose, begrudgingly, cats).
