i’m finally graduating from high school soon :D oh my god i’m so glad that i’m leaving this shithole behind. anyways hopefully i’ll be studying abroad this or next year. i want to transition where i live but surprise surprise “where i live” isn’t really nice towards queer people.

should i include that i’m seeking asylum to transition? i feel like its a bit too much as i don’t know if i can call myself a refugee. (also i don’t want to forfeit my current citizenship lol)

also any uni/college suggestions for computer science? united states is a big nono unless i get accepted by a high ranking college and if it’s in a blue state

    For outsiders: Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario, vaguely like a governor I think, and is Conservative. From Toronto, Ottawa is about 3ish hours North East by car, and Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) is about 1hr South West of Toronto. Hamilton is perhaps the next major city after Toronto and is around 30 minutes South (ish) of Toronto. Guelph is a smaller city 30ish minutes North of KW.

    This is why these various places were all brought up in relation to a comment about KW. Besides Ottawa, they’re all pretty close to each other.

    And yes rusty tailpipe sounds about right 😉

      Yeah he’s the equivalent of a governor, just for a much larger area. The other significance of Ottawa (for those in the US) is that it’s the capital of Canada and the second largest city in Ontario
