I want to scream: GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, USA! USE YOUR WORDS, NOT GUNS. The rest of the world is tired of sending thoughts and prayers for totally unnecessary tragedies. JUST STOP IT. NOW. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I JUST DID A THING!!! I inserted my Discussion (11 pages/5063 words) into my main thesis document, which is now 74 single-spaced pages (excluding Acknowledgments and Appendices), 23,948 words, and 117 references. I'm getting there! Slowly but surely. #MASc #academia

A graphic featuring a photo of Alice Wong on the left, wearing an orange, pink and yellow top and pink pants. On the right, a quote in large purple text reads: “To me, disability is not a monolith, nor is it a clear-cut binary of disabled and nondisabled. Disability is mutable and ever-evolving. Disability is both apparent and nonapparent. Disability is pain, struggle, brilliance, abundance, and joy. Disability is sociopolitical, cultural and biological. Being visible and claiming a disabled identity brings risks as much as it brings pride.” Below the quote, in smaller purple text, is Wong’s title: “Founder of the Disability Visibility Project.” In the bottom right corner is a blue box with the text “Disability Pride Month” in purple. In the bottom left corner is the ACLU logo in white

They keep thinking it’s about the tariffs. It’s about an oppressive tyrant who wants to make us the 51st state and is saying “go fuck yourself, Nazi.” Anyhow, that’s why Canadian purchases of US wine are down 94% at a cost of $100 million •already• to the US wine industry. Oops. FAFO.

Canada was once the number-one buyer of U.S. wines. Since the trade war, that’s changed
