PSA that I do genuinely dislike being called canadian. ‘French canadian’ & ‘Quebecker’ are also terms I personally dislike, ‘Québecois’ is preferred, ‘Québécois’ with the two accents is the standard spelling of it, which is fine, ‘Quebecois’ without the accent is also fine. Anticolonialism includes Québec, as both coloniser & colonised; Landback & the preservation of Québec culture or even its independence are not mutually exclusive. (If you’re not sure how, here [link] are my thoughts on it.)

Small prononciation guide :

Québec -> Kay-Beck

Québecois (habitant of Québec, masculine form) -> Kay-Beck-Wah

Québecoise (habitant of Québec, feminine form) -> Kay-Beck-Was

Anyways, feel free to use, just reblog if you do !

Punk? Academia

I'm making this as a separate post to @librarian-by-day's very good point on this thread about dark academia.

As funny as this vibe is, I think the original ‘darkness’ of dark academia has been lost. Donna Tartt’s The Secret History is a foundational text of dark academia. But this book is all about the trap of elitism in higher education. Which is legitimately a problem. As someone from the US, I think the ways higher education fails us, promotes elitism (and oppresses the working class), and ergo supports white supremacy culture SHOULD absolutely be critiqued. If anything, dark academia should be called punk academia…or something along those lines. I don’t want to hate on enjoying aethetics, because they are fun and creative. And its lovely to consider the way you present yourself as an artform. I just think there is so much power behind these kinds of critiques. But dark academia, so perfectly set up to challenge higher education in this way, doesn’t seem to go there. (Maybe I just haven’t found those critiques yet, though?)

Really, I think they said everything I might want to far better than I ever could. Thanks for calling attention to this very real problem that lies beneath the surface of the ivory tower. My humble addition is in the form of a few reading recommendations.

I had the privilege to teach a class about Indigenous research methodologies, taught by an Indigenous professor. As part of that class, we did a lot of reading about how to work within and against an inherently colonial, white supremacist organization like a university.

I would highly encourage everyone who works in/adjacent to academia to read these two books. Both of them offer important insights on the nature of academia, and how research can be a tool of or a vector for pushing back against structural and systemic inequality.

"Land Back"

Spotted in Montreal

[jackaldandy]

Against past and present genocides, against those who shoot at people and plan their dispossession, against those who kidnap, torture and murder those who fight and resist, against Milei, Villarruel and this Argentinian government of sinister Nazis, these Norma Plá's (please google her story) words are more than present. Memory and solidarity with the struggles of yesterday and today, 30,000 detained and disappeared comrades present! We do not forget, we do not forgive, we do not reconcile! From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

How democracy dies

Stop policing how Palestinians react to the so-called Israeli anti-war or leftist movements. They do not owe anyone gratitude or praise for refraining from taking part in a genocide. They have every right to resent everyone outside of Palestine right now after 21,000+ people have been martyred.

Refuse to yield to propaganda which insists your understanding of the world is "primitive" or "unrealistic",

Who decides what is primitive vs. advanced?

Who decides what is real?

Refute Colonization.

people on this site love anticolonial revolutions but only as long as they happened far in the past

Qué hermoso día para tirar abajo todas las estatuas, manchar todas las placas, cambiar los nombres de todas las calles de los conquistadores

[ordinaryeternalmachinery]

But ultimately, I don't see feel/think as a dichotomy. I see them as a choice of ways and combinations.
