Gentle reminder that without “small time”, hourly workers doing real labor your easy, sweatless, office job would disappear overnight. Perhaps some gratitude? Maybe even some solidarity?
As a former IT professional turned baker, I dislike the condescending attitude too many white collar workers have toward the actual wheel turners of the world.
I’m sorry, I did the worst possible Internet thing and assumed intent and perspective. Clearly I was in the wrong. I deleted my comment for being unproductive in the first place

Bonjour hi, I knew there had to be some Franco monarchists, I’d just never met any. I don’t know if I completely agree but I appreciate the perspective.
I dunno, I’ve met plenty of monarchist Anglos and plenty of anti monarchist Anglos and never one monarchist Quebecois or Quebecoise
This is going to be devastating
Fête Nationale / St Jean-Baptiste
There are over 2 million Franco Americans in New England alone. And yet, I seem to be one of the few who remembers our history, nevermind our language. This is not an indictment, we’ve had to adapt to survive and avoid persecution.
But still we’re allowed to be proud, we’re allowed to be seen, and I’d love to live long enough to see our diaspora celebrate our roots and our present on both sides of the border
Et bien sûr, vive le Québec libre
You live in a decaying empire on a planet with finite resources and a collapsing environment. You’re focusing on the forest, they’re focusing on the trees, and it’s all so nobody has to notice that it’s all on fire.
Oh wow, that was my first Linux desktop
Cue the deep male voice saying
“Je suis la jeune fille”
French was my father’s first language so even though we were an English-first home, I had an excellent study buddy when I started studying French in middle and highschool. I was nearly proficient by age 18 but lost it once life took over. Fast forward 20 years and I wanted to make sure my child had the opportunity to speak with her pépère in his native language.
So I spent 6 months mainlining Learn French and specifically Québec TikTok and fought like hell to rewire those old, decrepit neural pathways. You can get access to an incredible wealth of native content in manageable bites all tagged and categorized for free
Ça marche!
D’accord et merci! J’ai hâte d’explorer la francophonie!
Je peux parler français (encore)
I can speak french (again)
