About Me



Oh my God, who still blogs these days? 

Answer; 


This girl does!

In this corner of the universe, it is always 2008 and you will wrest our shitty, overproduced HTML blogs out of our cold dead hands.

Now a word on our Supreme Overlord:

Kathleen is a 24-year-old film student who lives on unceded land in Toronto, Canada. She enjoys writing and making art ... usually at the same time. She is a published author of poetry and zines, has far too many screenplays and manuscripts on the back burner, and the unstoppable urge to buy every film camera she comes across on Facebook Market place.  This is a creative space where you can keep up to date with her film work, read some of her writings-in-progress, and occasionally be on the receiving end of her unsolicited hot takes. 

She creates from a fat, queer, feminist perspective but recognizes that she can always learn more and that the responsibility of educating herself about communities more marginalized than her own falls squarely on her own shoulders. That being said, she's not perfect and wants you to tell her when she can do better.

We hope you stick around. There should be an email list somewhere to your right, which you should definitely sign up for so you never miss a post. If you head North there should be links to Kathleen's Amazon-published chapbook (we know, an egregious lapse in judgment but she promises never to do it again), and her etsy zine store which you should check out! Your purchases help support indie publishing and keeps the lights on at HQ.

The Swordbearer Chapter 1 (The LOTSS Project)

 Hi Friends. We've made it to the first chapter of The Swordbearer!  Oof. You know when you realize you're actually about to put something out there for everyone to see? I was extremely tempted to edit heavily before posting this but that is not the point! The point of this project is to embrace and honor the cringe of our childhood selves. But to ease the vulnerability hangover, I'd love to know in the comments; what was the cringiest thing you did when you were 11? Mine was definitely thinking that 14 was an appropriate age for the heroine of an epic fantasy adventure ...  Confused as Hell? Start  here .  --- I guess it all started when my family moved from New York to Vermont.  Dad got laid off a couple months before, and the only work he could find was as a logger in Bethel, Vermont.  I loved the big city, the hustle and bustle of daily life in New York.  Needless to say I was a bit bitter about this whole move.  Okay, “a bit” is kind of ...

thought of the day

my greatest revenge; becoming the person they passed me by for and letting them wonder how they ever could have done such a thing.

LOTSS Chapter 1 (re-written)

 Hi friends, Before you dive into it, yes I have changed the main character's name from Rachel to Miranda. I've changed a lot of the names from the original manuscript so I'll put out a legend at some point to mitigate confusion. And yes, I have changed locations from the real town of Bethel, which I have never visted, to the fictional town of Truite.  I'm still trying to figure out the balance of staying true to the original story and adding new stuff, so kept it short for this first chapter. Just trying to get a feel for the updated character. I don't want her to feel so far off from the original, just a better and more age-appropriate version of her.  If you read all the way to the end, let me know in the comments; where in the world do you think Truite is supposed to be? *** Leaving is always bittersweet, but Miranda felt less sadness than she expected when she packed all her things into boxes and handed over the keys to her one-bedroom apartment in Chinatown.
