You are invited to join me in casting spells and granting wishes to the children on my street this Friday when I give out little strips of paper with words on it instead of candy.

If you have a wish or spell that I could use for these purposes please leave it in the comments. Thank you.👻🥰🍫

My Baba would have been 80 years old today.

This is my mum and Baba on their wedding day, these are there wedding outfits! Yes, it was 1976.

I met him only as a baby and don’t remember anything. Talked to him on the phone at 3&4 yrs old. Don’t remember that either.

That stings, even in its integration.

He died when I was 10, age 43, 37 years ago now. Getting older than him is a real trip!

You would have been only 80 now. Wow. I do wish you could have taught me Turkish, drumming, belly dancing, language and lore. That you could have healed just enough for us to connect and be and generate the moments that would have been.

I watched men in a rehab circle cry with regret that they lost, or never had their children. I heard you in them. I’ve had remorse as a parent, I know the agony and then transformation possible. I suppose we ran out of time.

Baba. I never called you that on earth I don’t think, but in cosmos you visit often, father, dad, even now you arrive over my left shoulder, grateful and somewhat embarrassed to be acknowledged in this online 2025 way on the day of your birth.

Baba, I didn’t need to know you to love you, but I did have to let go. Had to not hold on to shape, expectation, grief, knowing.

Acceptance of your death and life cracked me open 20 yrs ago and more recently forgiveness’s liberation is pure momentum.

Thank you for life Baba. Thank you even more for your spirits work. I am pretty sure you’ve helped to save my life a few times now.

Baba, alcohol consumed you, literally and figuratively, I know it wasn’t all you were, but whatever struggles you had, secrets in your insides, well they died with you.
I’ve been sober for almost 9 years now.

I bet we would have had a grand time with whisky! I imagine that’s what you drank, as it slides down my throat so easy.

Thank you for loving me from beyond the veil. May this message reach you, and offer you too, liberation.

🍹 ❤️ 🌌

PLEASE READ - an ask for help to heal the healer

Earlier this year I had top surgery and was supported by a GoFundMe that raised $25,000! IT WAS INCREDIBLE, I am eternally grateful and now I am paying it forward...

My dear friend Free Woman has had some serious health issues and hasn't been able to work since March, so I am launching a GoFundMe for her.

Now is the time to heal the healer.

If you know me, or know Free Woman, please read the GoFundMe

In Jan of this year I got to have Top surgery and spent 2 months recovering from surger… Lamia Gibson needs your support for For when the healer needs healing

So much struggle. Suffering. Ache and pain.
Beauty remains.
And can be hard to touch, see, feel.
But we must try, we must must try
Radical acts of beauty
Reasons for living and fighting for life

- in case you missed it…

and I did some volunteering for and had a great ole time.
DAVENPORT… we could swing to the ndp with this election.

I believe is our best chance at a riding that is for human rights, with a capacity to have the very hard conversations that are in our communities and around the globe.

I’ll volunteer again! My mum would be so ndp proud!

It took me decades to get clear that I was not cis. Despite being in the first ever trans march in Vancouver, and the first ever trans march in Toronto and the countless prides and events and spaces where trans, non binary and more folks are welcome, celebrated, included, known.

Now some trans kids know themselves as part of existence, known themselves as real, actual and inherently human.

SO MUCH HAS TRANSFORMED in the past few decades and while we all still have a ways to go (on many matters regarding Life and human rights), while we are not all free yet… we can not allow for our trans kids or ourselves to revert.

Being visible / known / as existing is crucial to societal and individual well being. When trans folks exist we all benefit. When kids know themselves as real, we have a future world to live for.

I see myself now
In complex simplicity
In the eyes of young ones
Free to be, run and play
