Now

Written June 9, 2025, from my apartment on the Plateau Mont-Royal (Montréal / Tiohtià:ke)

I’ve been scarily ill since November 2024. Nearly all projects, physical activity have ground to a halt. Since April 2025, I have been making an effort to try to write every day, which is not always possible with my physical condition. Due to the truly execrable state of Québec’s healthcare system, it took months to get mediocre medical help and I'm on some waiting lists for more help eventually. Due to the truly dire state of endometriosis research (amongst a few other factors) the path back to where I was a year ago is rather unclear. It is possible I will spend most of 2025 clawing my way out of this state, if I’m lucky.
