My main interests are Canadian cultural heritage, and just about all things Canadian!
I prefer to keep it largely anonymous on the fediverse, respect that as you can please. But, there are some things I don’t mind sharing about myself!
I am French Canadian (second generation Franco-Ontarien), but through circumstances of how I was raised I am only now learning French as an adult. I am currently at the A2 level. I often post and reply in French speaking communities as applied practice.
I am a trained historian, with a MA in history, and in my spare time I often am researching and learning about both Canadian and French Canadian history, culture, and art. This research is often the source of inspiration for my posts. Ultimately, I aspire to one day own land in Quebec around either Quebec city or outside of Montréal.
I am the same person as grizzlybur@lemmy.ca. I often use this username across multiple services, but not every Grizzlybur is actually me.
I run a few small communities on the fediverse, and its tough trying to start one up. Granted I try to keep mine canadian focused, but its an uphill battle either way. I was never one to volunteer or be an admin of a community, but I wanted to get the ball rolling somehow. Very disheartening to realize I’m the only one posting in the community, esp because I’m just a lurker at heart.
They’re gonna look at this shit in a few centuries in the same way that we look at old chinese foot binding . I agree with others that having this expensive and very visually apparent procedures done must be some sort of way for them to flaunt status and wealth or something. It’s hard to imagine someone thinking this looks good, it’s nearly uncanny valley.
