Quelques coups de sharpie, oui. Une borne maganée parce qu'un vélo a été remis trop fort, bien sûr. Mais une destruction systématique de plusieurs stations dans le même quartier. Naaaah. C'est pas des jeunes.

On blâme tjs les ados et c'est vrai que les ados sont pas tjs très délicats. Mais on ne mentionne jamais à quel point les bixis sont outil d'indépendance pour les ados. Pour les jeunes Montréalais.es, les bixi c'est comme une première voiture en terme de contrôle de leurs déplacements.

Irresponsable contracts costing QCers hundreds of millions of dollars...this has come to light multiple times this year.

Meanwhile, we don't have the money in QC to pay for COVID vaccines for all.

J'adore la façon que t'as de tordre les expressions, et que si tu le disais au lieu de l'écrire, ça passerait comme dans du beurre!

I showed it to the 15 yo cultural conselor and she says it absolutely works when put on the flag like that.

Étais-tu en vélo ce matin?
hum.. oui?
Mais c'est vraiment plus froid.
Ouin, mais j'ai mis mon imper, un buff pis des gants. C'était ben en masse.
...
... c'était l'fun, le soleil était vraiment beau.

Canadians: “We the north! I love hockey, skiing, and taking my kids sledding. Did you hear about a light dusting of snow shutting down some southern US city?”

Canadians, when you suggest
it’s possible to bike past September: “but what if I get… cold?”

As we protest statues that glorify racist ideology, we also need to think about the things that ended up inside of museums because of assumptions about white superiority. Here's one story - of meteorites, pandemic, and Minik, the boy who lost his parents and his whole world.

Eyes candies all around. I can only try to imagine what her houses looked like. Also, how do you get that much money. So many questions, so many delicious gems.

My 19 yo just arrived from it. Waves have been arriving from different schools at different times, but it's still going on. Didn't mention any active repression.

"Tu peux me faire confiance"" is probably the proper French, but if you miss the tone, you end up sounding like Joe Pesci in a mafia movie.

Sara @sarabcmtl.bsky.social · 3d

I guess. The "French" is... dubious in that sentence, but it would work. My 15 yo says "chu chill", where French is also dubious. She feels that if you are talking to a person who is trying to assess your safeness the also very French "T'es good" would work better (as you are at a good place).

I've been listening t @midnightburger.bsky.social for a few weeks now. I have just encountered Yosef, but Yosef is my favorite. I know he will probably not come back, but he is hilarious in his back hand comments.

3 tiers school system in Qc has killed the social mix. The fact that he went to a pivate cegep on top of it? He never had to confront any kind of diversity in his life. Sadly, there's a lot of these in politics, cause politics requires cash and connexion. And boy do they love their connexion!

The only way I can remember to do alt text:

Screenshot of the accessibility option in Bluesky to activate the part where the site forces you to do alt text before sending "publish". It's the French version.

I was legit gonna forget alt text in the alt text discussion if it wasn't for that feature....
