Congratulations!

Way to go, Sloan!!

You did it, you’re the best!!xoxo

Awesome. Just awesome.

It must feel great to accomplish something so useful!

Congratudonlences!

That’s great, hopefully the debt won’t be too crippling!

You’re going to be a poet, I hope! A nation really can’t have too many of them!

That’s eight years spent in academia that you can be damn proud of!

So. Fucking. Brave.

Very sorry to hear this. WHAT NOW???? At least your mother died believing that you’d never finish that degree!

Thank God somebody is finally going to give some attention to Gender Dichotomies in the Kitchen: Feminine and Masculine Qualities of Spaces and Artifacts as exhibited in Queer literature of the 1990’s! It’s been a long time coming! You rawk, Sloan!

Idiot.

Hopefully after all those years you committed to that institution, you have a good relationship with them and they might offer you a job as a diversity officer or something!

Sloan, you have just taken your Blog to the next level!

So, so, so sorry to hear this. Big hugz!!

My ex works at the Starbucks on College and University, and I am sure he can get you a job there while you write your novel. Private message me.

Fantastic news! You must be super proud! See you at the Slam Poetry workshop on Sunday!

First of all, before I write my message, I want to thank Mother Earth for all the resources that she allows us to use, and honour all First Nation, Métis and Inuit people whose land we settlers now stand upon. We ask your forgiveness. YOU ARE THE BEST, SLOAN, YOU MUST BE SO PROUD!!

Have you told your psychiatrist yet?
