This is Me — Shauna Callaghan

I lie somewhere on the spectrum between “hot mess” and “someone who has it all”. So, you’ll either find me shuffling around my home in a dressing gown or drinking Champagne in heels and a corset. There does not appear to be an in-between. Here’s my bold statement I believe we can have it…

The Oppressed White Man Trope have Infiltrated Medium

“I was wondering how long it would take for the colour of my skin to come into this”. — Man on the Internet One would be forgiven for thinking this was said by a POC, because this is something that, unfortunately, comes up regularly in conversation but no. Our starling…

The Artist’s Way Week 5; Recovering a Sense of Possibility

My copy of the artist's way is destroyed. I set out with the intention because for some reason I always feel my books are precious and should look as perfect when I’m finished as the day I bought them. I’m pretty sure that’s engrained from my childhood and my mother…

The Artists Way Week 3 — Artistic Power & Shame?

Misery loves company and shame loves me — possibly more than Gomez and Morticia Adams love each other. Really though, while most people run on coffee and anxiety, I’d wager a good 80% of my actions are dictated by imaginary shame. I project into a future version of life where…

Couch to 5k: Is It Worth It?

Runners are a strange breed of people, aren’t they? The more they do, the more they want to do. What starts as a charitable 10k turns into a half marathon, then their first marathon, and then they start throwing in bikes and swims and hills and tough mudders. …

People Using AI “Writers” Should be Banned from the Internet

If you are using an AI program to create a webpage/blog post/article you no longer deserve the title “creator”. You are not a blogger, writer, entrepreneur, influencer, or business owner. Here are some alternative titles you may now crown yourself with: A farce A fake A thief A greedy capitalist…

The Artist’s Way Week 2; Poisonous Playmates and Skepticism?

Emotional Awareness and Emotional Maturity are like eggs and oranges. Sure, they’re in the same overarching category *gestures wildly in the air towards the kitchen* but when it comes down to it, they’re vastly different experiences. Imagine someone plonking oranges on toast down on the table in front of you…

Is Safety Necessary for Creativity?

The Artist’s Way says “Yes” — If a genie popped itself out of my eco-friendly bamboo coffee cup (because let’s face it, I don’t have a tea pot, much less an ornate lamp that looks like it might house a magical being) my first wish would be for more time to think. I’m actually at the…

The Artist’s Way, Am I Crazy or Creative?

There is a fine line between the two, after all. Things I’ve learned to be wary of in life: anchovies on pizza, “real men”, and those people who espouse that creative block isn’t a real thing. Really, Peter? …
