Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We call it home to SyFy and CW genre productions. Long live Vancouver! I wonder what Colin is doing now?

Huh?
Oh, I was just bitching about that commercial on Twitter. It's all celebs who are native BCers, but almost none of them live in BC anymore. Michael J Fox even became a US citizen.

I'm guessing if she had been wildly unstable, it wouldn't have gotten to that meeting, but I don't know how academia works -- if you're on the tenure track, do you automatically stay there?
Pretty much. Except many places now have a (usually 3rd/4th year) review to make sure you are on track to get tenure, basically to avoid the stress of "you've worked here 7 years, but now you're fired" that is getting denied tenure.

Worst. Singing. ofthe. National. Anthem. Ever!
Who was that? She looked a bit like a Disney product to me. She has a decent voice, but it was sort poppy for such a majestic anthem.
