Now

Written January 29, 2025, from my apartment on the Plateau Mont-Royal (Montréal / Tiohtià:ke)

Things are not going well right now. I’ve been scarily ill since November 2024, and all projects, physical activity, and writing have ground to a halt. Due to the horrible state of Québec’s healthcare system, it took months to get adequate medical help, but due to the dire state of endometriosis research (amongst other factors) the path back to where I was even six months ago is unclear. It is possible I will spend most of 2025 clawing my way out of this state, if I’m lucky.
