A Type I Diabetic's Thoughts on the Nick Jonas/Dexcom Superbowl Ad
I had the biggest crush on Nick Jonas as a teenager. All it took, honestly, is being about the same age, and both Type I Diabetic. I am that desperate for other Type I Diabetic contact. My experience with the diabetic community is almost exclusively positive, and if a fellow diabetic came to me asking for help, stranger or no, I would commit insurance fraud for that person without blinking.

It's as plain as the nose...under my mask.
A mask did not begin as a "fashion trend", but over the last year has certainly become one. The initial uncertainly that came with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic left little room for trends to grow. However, as the promises of two weeks turned into four weeks and continued to grow, many citizens began to do what they do well: make the best of a bad situation.

VIP: Very Inaccessible Places
Nightlife venues can be inaccessible in terms of architecture meaning they lack structures like enlarged doors, adapted bathrooms and sinks or elevators when the venue is not on the ground floor, but also when prejudices make it hard for people with reduced mobility to feel welcomed. Usually, both work hand in hand because the latter justifies the former and the former reinforces the latter in the mind of able-bodied people and disabled people alike. I am a disabled young woman in my early twenties and eventually I won’t be able to go out in Montreal because of how inaccessible it is for people with reduced mobility, but I already feel the impacts of this exclusion. The first is sexual and gender related, hindering the sexual and gender development of disabled young adults, especially young women, and the second is social, the strengthening of negative stereotypes about disabled people.

Face Masks in School
The teachers and students around me are unreadable. I can barely understand what they are saying, and on top of that I can’t see their expressions. I wasn’t prepared for this added challenge in teaching. There are already the challenges of lesson planning, and trying to keep the students engaged in class. There are so many new school requirements and rules to which I have to adapt. And to make matters worse, their faces are covered up by a mask!

(Read to the end and I will provide the documented answer but first I am compelled to share my interpretation of what it means.)
