We need to recognize the rich countries aren’t rich because of innovation and ingenuity but because they have made ripping off Black and brown countries as their primary industry
France has the 4th largest gold reserve in the world. How?
France holds 90% of the gold reserves of 15 African countries and pays 0% interest on what it makes from those reserves since 1945. These nations however borrow from #France from their own reserves with interest!

What I had to say about AI in 2018, and pretty much what I say today.
ALT I want to draw especial attention to the treatment of AI—artificial intelligence—in these narratives. Think of Ex Machina or Blade Runner.

I think it’s certain white men’s displaced anxiety upon realizing that women and people of color have, and have always had, sentience, and are beginning to act on it on scales that they’re unprepared for. There’s a reason that AI is almost exclusively gendered as female, in fiction and in life. There’s a reason they’re almost exclusively in service positions, in fiction and in life. I’m not worried about how we’re going to treat AI s

"Tone deaf" is an ableist insult. You don't need to use it. Say what you mean, ignorant, insensitive. You don't need to allude to disability.

Losing her surgical privileges was Dr. Kieser's breaking point: “4 out of the 8 cardiac surgical residents at Foothills are women. I realized, if I don’t take a stand here and say something, this could happen to them. It will never stop unless someone points out what’s happening”

In an interview, Dr. Kieser said that over the years she had always felt what was happening to her was wrong, but that it had never occurred to her to formally file a complaint. “I thought if I just put my head down and do my work really well, it would save the day."

as we continue to define a new vision for a really inclusive and equitable federal public service then we need to ask "difficult" questions about everything and not rely on the old excuses that have sustained the exclusionary status quo ways of working.

The shock that this “protest”is happening in Canada is peak Western exceptionalism. Western countries are no more civilised or better than other countries.
We can express outrage without a superiority complex.
