Canada’s residential school abuse survivors face fresh battle to stop testimony being destroyed First Nation communities warn that government must act as accounts face destruction, risking central part of Canada’s reckoning with its colonial legacy

Now that the far right in British Columbia is attacking Indigenous rights and fear mongering about DRIPA with misinformation and the NDP is waffling, it’s time to know the facts about DRIPA, from dripafacts.ca 🧵

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

Thank you. I am still learning to be a better speaker, and I will keep what you said in mind.

A young white plane mascot with rosy cheeks, a red neck scarf, and a blue pilot’s cap stands in front a digital sign saying “Kansai Airports”.

Kansai Airport's mascot is a young plane named Sorayan.

@nikpayuk.bsky.social Hi Daniel. I see you are trying to find a job/raise money. Are you interested in resources about funding your work on C++ metaprogramming through open source funding agencies? I think your work may be eligible for some funding schemes.

I'm sorry Dave, I really need you to agree to these new terms and conditions.

European style courts ("white justice") is wise in many ways, but is also really just for those who have money and/or power to buy a "slap on the wrist."

It is far less fair than "enlightenment" propagandists make it out to be.

Also, when I say "proper," I mean *conventional* ---out of respect to those who attend who prefer that style, and those who speak who put in all the effort with that style in mind. I'm grateful to be allowed to speak at all, I should show community respect.

Anyway, I'm certain you'll do great!

4/4

rather than translating my voice and dialect, etc.

With that said, I did want to do a "proper" talk this time around, but as usual I just have too much content for a single hour. I plan to address the issue at the beginning of my talk. So far my talks have been info dense: This one as well.

3/4

enough feedback has been mixed: Some say it's amateurish or unconventional, but others who speak / read English as a second language (to which there are many at these conferences I've observed) are more comfortable with it.

Some say it makes it easier because they can focus more on the ideas

2/4

My process is different, but I'm not doing a keynote to be fair.

Also my style is different: My previous talks' slides have had the words I was speaking written on them. It's not as trivial as that, I'm not being lazy, I do actually have my own aesthetic, but it's unconventional. Interestingly

Indigenous bestselling author talks, hockey romance and Indigenous representation | APTN News YouTube video by APTN News

USA Today bestselling author Lexi LaFleur Brown is a hockey playing, hockey romance writing Anishinaabe-Métis who spoke with Reporter Rachel May on the hockey romance genre boom and Indigenous representation in her writing.

NDC Toronto is an interesting concept.

C++ is one of my love languages, but it's fun to attend a conference that varies in its storytelling. This is how we get better.

Just saw the C++Now promo on linkedin: "Benchmarking \\ It's About Time." Sounds like a quality keynote. I hope someday I'll be able to attend one of your talks in person!

I have to get over my anxiety and once again adapt to this society in ways I strongly do not want to.

I'm spending the day thinking, truly thinking about settler colonizer capitalist whiteness, and how to interact with it in ways which will resonate.

Good luck to me I guess. Thanks.

11/11

I promised myself years ago I wouldn't learn anything more about whiteness until I knew as much about my own culture as I did about white culture. I didn't ask to learn about whiteness, it was forced on me.

And now it's being forced on me once again, and if I'm going to get a job soon

10/11

being forced to be fake, and then to be judged for it by people who have the power to exclude or reject me.

It also has to do with Indigeneity: I've avoided really trying to understand how to succeed under a capitalist work culture because I don't want to be assimilated.

9/11

I understand a lot about the macro and the micro aspects of society, community, and I did minor in economics in my undergrad. I am able to apply that knowledge as well.

My point is: What's holding me back is me. My deep rooted anxiety, likely having to do with

8/11

but my point is: I might be an introvert, I might have anxiety which effects my interactions with people, but I've also had a lot of work experience; I've observed how different businesses operate; I understand a lot on the technical side of life and society; I've studied a lot about ethics;

7/11

throughout all the job postings, I'm realizing part of the reason I'm terrible at the job hunt is because I've been naturally good at a whole lot of things my whole life, so I have no frame of reference for what skills employers see as valuable.

I could go on about various other patterns,

6/11

I didn't lose it or anything, I just never got one in the first place. I've been poor my whole life and a car is a luxury I couldn't afford.

Beyond that, there's a bunch of manager / assistant manager jobs I don't apply for, but maybe I should?

Also, reading all the "requirements"

5/11

The readings I did then only raised my anxiety excessively / disproportionately. It's still doing that, but this time around I'm also starting to recognize patterns.

For starters, there's a lot of jobs I'd like to apply for but can't because they require a driver's license. I don't have one.
