I am often reminded of Audre Lorde when I think about this: "The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House."

And what of Indigenous languages? To the best of my knowledge, our language laws never take them into consideration. That says a lot. 4/4

Don't get me wrong, protecting the French language in Quebec and Canada is quintessential, but the tactics used by the Quebec government are incredibly similar to those of the colonisers of "old" and are harmful to protecting it nationally. You don't resist colonialism by employing it. 3/4

Speaking English in French schools in Quebec is policed, shunned, and punished. It's not beaten out of us physically, but is still repressed. It's similar at work (with exceptions). In the public sphere, speaking is not policed extensively, but it does happen at times, but it is in writing. 2/4

JP is definitely a good resource to "steal" from! But is it really stealing if he gladly shares it 🤔

Update: got an email saying it was a mistake and that I was not included in that deicison. They are doing wonderfully!

This is pure BS. Giving storage for student's research projects should be the bare minimum. Plus, when dealing with sensitive material, this means I can't rely on my uni/employer to provide me with a safe space for the material I use OR I USE WHILE WORKING FOR THEM. Such BS.

My uni also increased the cost of tuition by something like 8.5% this January and I'm wondering why the fuck I'm even paying tuition if I can't even do my work with what they offer. My choices are now either buying a new hard drive or figuring out a new (safe) cloud to save copies of my work.

It's definitely not capitalism making ungodly amounts of profit on the back of people's suffering, it's a party game. Yeah, that's the ticket.
