September is #FASD awareness month & I'd like help you understand the disability. Let's start with the most basic question:

What is FASD?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disability affecting the brain & body of individuals with prenatal exposure to alcohol

I would look on Trump with great shame & derision if not for the fact that the Canada government does billions of dollars of business with Saudi Arabia (including thousands of Light Armoured Vehicles) as well 🥺
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

"Heroes" by David Bowie has been played in entirely too many movies

When I saw a movie called "We Can Be Heroes", I just about lost it

I think it was Vlad's four consecutive sellouts of Madison Square Garden that cinched Entertainer of the Year for him

Composing music in a film
Saving Mr Banks (2013)

Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers kiboshes the Sherman Brothers making up the word "responstable" to rhyme with constable.

This quickly discourages them from presenting their next song
