It's finally out in the world! "Be Grateful or Be Quiet: Confronting the Epistemic Harms of Adoptism." (No, not a typo - I coin "adoptism" to capture the unique ways adopted persons are marginalized). Open access. Please share! #adoption #adopteetwitter ojs.lib.uwo.ca/index.php/fpq…

Thank you, @people for interviewing me about how I started this page and the work I am doing for North Carolina! I never thought I would get national attention; I am just a college kid providing weather forecasts for the state I love so dearly. #ncwx

I had many comments saying "why didn't people go to higher ground" in other videos where the surroundings aren't apparent. This is why. Absolutely no chance!
