Vote Like Your Life Depends on it. Because it does.
Today, in the US, your vote matters. If it didn’t, the prevailing power wouldn’t be trying so hard to suppress it.
White women – this message is especially for you – please, please, please don’t vote against your own self interest. Don’t vote for Trump. He is an awful, awful person who has proven time and time again that he does NOT care about you. Not even a little bit. You own your vote, so use it like your life depends on it. Use it like your daughter is LGBTQIA2S+. Use it like your son is afraid to be pulled over for no reason and killed. Use it like your babies have been taken away from you and locked in a cage.
I am not getting my hopes up that people will vote kindness in 2020, because it does not seem to be the way that things have gone this year. I am just really, really hoping you all prove me wrong.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
