Belated Announcement

So. You know when you get news that’s so amazing that you don’t quite dare tell anyone yet, in case it’s taken away from you?

Well, that happened to me about three years ago. And as it turns out, when you have some seriously hardcore anxiety AND get accepted to your dream university, you decide not to announce it until you get the formal acceptance letter. Or maybe until they’ve accepted the tuition money. And then wait until you get there.

And then until you matriculate.

And then until you get through the first really tough semester.

And then until you return from your pandemic-induced year off.

And then until you finish the thesis.

And then until you get the grades.

And right now, I could either wait until my actual graduation, which, due to shenanigans involving the pandemic, international travel, and my mother’s obsession with wisteria, will likely only happen in another year. Or I could finally announce that I’ve been accepted to the University of Cambridge graduate program in Classics.

And while I’m at it, I’ve also finished it. This girl has a Master’s!

Kenney’s covid-19 “support” consists of a one-time payment of $1,146 IF you get the virus. The average rent in Calgary is $1,150. There can be no mistake—Kenney wants people dying on the street.

Happiness is

A groggy voice yelling "I love you" from the bedroom as you go to work.

Since nobody is brave enough to voice any of their concerns about x gender markers under their own name, it really just sounds like an attempt to scare nonbinary/gnc people out of doing something that could increase their political visibility and improve their mental health. I’m old enough to remember when people used all these same arguments for why people shouldn’t organise or come to Pride.

Are any other women having trouble getting male representatives for Liberal MPs to take you seriously? It seems like every time I call to express my concerns, a man tells me to "calm down", "stop being so emotional", or ignores what I called about completely to talk over and down to me. Pretty ridiculous when the questions are "what are you doing about Chechen" and "will you be repealing the Safe Third Country agreement".

Police are asking that people who see racist graffiti/flyers report them to the local Hate Crimes Unit. They're tracking their location and how often they're re-applied. Most ask you not to remove them for your safety (they can hide razor blades or be covered in irritant). Either way you should report it for tracking and check that it's safe before you tear it down.
