By: Jules Sherwood Alternate reality where I am angry. When the man tells me to smile,I scream my answer back at him.Like a fury, I will tear him to shreds with my voice. The white, cis, het, boy says “relax” and I say, “excuse me?” My co-worker tells me his salary,And I email the whole company,Telling all theContinue reading “If I Was Angry”

Weather People
I originally intended this blog to be a writing blog, and to be honest, that’s still my intention. So, on this snowy May day, I figured I should post some more writing! Today I have a poem to share, appropriately named “Weather People.” Weather People Sunshine people are my favourite kind, With their bright smilesContinue reading “Weather People”
Flower Girl
How appropriate that I wrote my second post on consistency and since then I’ve been anything but. Well, I’m back (again) with another short story! Let me know what you think! I like being alone. I always know what to expect. I’ve never liked surprises, or other people, which is why this is the perfectContinue reading “Flower Girl”

To check out the winning entries, go toContinue reading “Challenging Dragons”
Too Much
I wrote this poem last year, but I performed it for the first time last night at a (zoom) spoken word open mic. Initially, I never thought that I would share it with anyone. I have since then, but every time it’s a nerve-wracking experience. Poetry is possibly one of the most vulnerable forms ofContinue reading “Too Much”
Post #4 – Burnout
This is a familiar scene: late at night, tired eyes and blue light on your face from the screen you’ve been staring at (glaring at) for the past several hours. Why did I leave this so late? And as you berate yourself the minutes slip by, and this cycle of procrastination and exasperation drills intoContinue reading “Post #4 – Burnout”
Post #1
Hi there, my name is Jules (she/they) – I recently started going by my nickname, because it sounds more gender neutral to me. Being non-binary is a funny little world that I’m still exploring. Obviously, I’ve been non-binary my whole life, but I only recently figured that out (lol, go figure.) I wasn’t sure, initially,Continue reading “Post #1”
