Fête Nationale / St Jean-Baptiste

There are over 2 million Franco Americans in New England alone. And yet, I seem to be one of the few who remembers our history, nevermind our language. This is not an indictment, we've had to adapt to survive and avoid persecution.

But still we're allowed to be proud, we're allowed to be seen, and I'd love to live long enough to see our diaspora celebrate our roots and our present on both sides of the border

Et bien sûr, vive le Québec libre

You live in a decaying empire on a planet with finite resources and a collapsing environment. You're focusing on the forest, they're focusing on the trees, and it's all so nobody has to notice that it's all on fire.

You are facing a great stone cube and a great stone sphere both of equal weight. Moving either of them will open a door freeing you from a tomb. Which do you push?

"Everybody who doesn't obey the party is a foreign threat" just doesn't hit the way you think it does, bud.

New Hampshire legalized genital checks for participating in children's sports and regulated morality in the doctor's office. As a proud denizen of the Green Mountains, fuck you Whites. This is a dark, perverted path you're walking. I'll be damned before I let my kids go to school where they're forced to pull up their skirts to play soccer

Cue the deep male voice saying

"Je suis la jeune fille"

French was my father's first language so even though we were an English-first home, I had an excellent study buddy when I started studying French in middle and highschool. I was nearly proficient by age 18 but lost it once life took over. Fast forward 20 years and I wanted to make sure my child had the opportunity to speak with her pépère in his native language.

So I spent 6 months mainlining Learn French and specifically Québec TikTok and fought like hell to rewire those old, decrepit neural pathways. You can get access to an incredible wealth of native content in manageable bites all tagged and categorized for free

Ça marche!

D'accord et merci! J'ai hâte d'explorer la francophonie!
