I hate this. Yes, it is a colonial state, backed by the US, but there is a reason why Jews have been in diaspora for over a thousand years. Their whiteness is very recent, it is precarious, it has yet to save them from synagogue shootings, and it didn't stop the Shoa.

When your amazing sibling is coming home AND joining in the same faculty and institution, it is the best news, both personally and professionally…

This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵

Shout out to Al Ferraby and CFAX 1070 Victoria for the on air birthday wishes. Watching my kiddo react with a mixture of embarrassment and pride was an unexpected gift. Gilakas’la!

West Vancouver Memorial Library hosts Tech Talk with Witness Blanket Artist Carey Newman, February 8 — Stir createastir.ca/articles/west-… West Van Library Carey Newman - Hayalthkin'geme

Someone just Rick rolled this party, and everyone just sang along…

Important thread, with lots of good resources for addressing and debunking residential school denialism:

This shouldn’t be controversial. It doesn’t matter what you, as a man, intend/think/feel. There is no way for the woman to know/trust you, and any attempt to explain or comfort can further their fear. If you’re the reason they grip their keys, wait, and go a different way.

I'm excited that a heart warming story of #indianrelay is being added to #ParamountPlus and Telus Originals Dec. 22, I had the privilege to talk with Logan Redcrow of #Oldsunrelay and Executive Producer Carey Newman - Hayalthkin'geme about the film. Check it out on cjwe.ca

This aligns with my understanding of decolonization being mostly about transforming mindset, structures, and relationships with each other and land. I would add that we also need to change hegemonic metrics of success, because how we evaluate things affects process and outcomes.
