Roxanne Tellier – I’ll Take Mortality for $200 Alex

When did people start ending every conversation with “be safe. Keep yourself safe”? Am I the only one that wonders when it was decided that we are living in a time of war or zombie attacks?

Roxanne Tellier – Closing A Circle

Sometimes grief will steal the words right out of you. All morning I have struggled with how I could possibly explain how devastating and final it feels to know that my aunt Pat is gone.

While I’ve been ‘home’ a few times since then, Quebec hasn’t really drawn me back for decades.

I was the newbie, and he wanted to make sure that a) the staff was treating me well, and b) that I wasn’t fucking anything up.

opening doors

and pulling some strings, angel”
