My Victim Impact Statement Following Sentencing of my Stalker
In July of 2025,
Christopher Mulley was arrested and charged with criminal harassment for
stalking me, and one other woman. Chris had been making unwanted contact with me
since 2021, which included unwanted phone and message communication, locating me
on social media, showing up uninvited to my door, and even trying to enter my
apartment without my consent, inviting me on walks, dropping gifts and
chocolate at my door, and following me on the street. I would ignore his
advances and told him to stop contacting me repeatedly, but he did not respect
my boundary. All of this has been well documented, and I turned a detailed
timeline and the evidence into the detective and the Crown Attorney. Police told
him to stop repeatedly, and he did not stop and was ultimately arrested. He was
charged with one count of criminal harassment for stalking me and one count of
criminal harassment for stalking another woman. I am aware of three other women
who filed police reports against Chris for similar behaviour that he was not
charged for. Those women’s stories are not mine to tell.
Earth Day children's book list: Picture books about climate change for the next generation of environmental activists
Books are one of the most reused items in existence. We buy used books, borrow books from friends, and donate old books we've read already. E-books and audiobooks are sustainable and waste-free. Literature is important, but it can also be eco-friendly- especially when the book you are reading is all about caring for the planet. Getting people engaged with environmental action at a young age is the best way to ensure a sustainable future. Why not engage children during storytime?

Dealing with a doggy disability: X-rays show the progression of Hazel's broken femur

Hazel at 9 weeks and 13 weeks

Hazel, my Saint
Bernese puppy, is
four months old, and much has changed for this fluffy little spitfire of a
mountain dog. When my partner and I brought Hazel home on March 22, we
noticed that she walked with a limp. I brought her to the animal hospital where
I work the next day and received some bad news- Hazel had fractured her femur
bone in her left hind leg at some point early on in her life. It went undiagnosed and untreated. The first radiograph showed that the bone had completely callused over, causing the left leg to be shorter than the right.
As
I discussed in my letter from the editor, Hazel will walk with a limp, is
guaranteed to have arthritis and hip dysplasia early on in life, and may need major surgery. At that time, I was still waiting for the surgeon’s assessment.
Later that week, I received the news- the surgeon said I should leave the leg for
now, but take X-rays monthly to monitor the growth and watch for signs of pain.
If we saw signs of soreness, we were to put Hazel on a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to help with pain management.
