Aadhar is India's biometric ID system. A reminder (as if Canada needs one) that national identity projects can easily be used by a racist state to oppress and marginalize minorities.

In case it isn't obvious yet, the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens, National Population Register and Aadhaar are all facets of a common larger project. If you had a hand in Aadhaar, congratulations. Be proud of what you enabled. This is your achievement.

I don't trust girlboss companies who use intimate gal pal language with their workers any more than I trusted techbro companies who installed ping pong tables for their workers. absent of actual worker protections, informality is just an accelerant for work-life boundary erosion
