Hey @substack engineers—

Today I write in English.
Tomorrow in French.
Hebrew after dinner.
Spanish by night.

Your UI still assumes:
1 user = 1 language
English = en-US

We’re not edge cases.
We’re the future.
Build for polyphony.

I’m in love with the moment when our interpreters introduce themselves at our events! Their greetings aren’t just introductions; they remind us that accessibility is at the heart of everything we do at #FCSN. #LanguageJustice #LanguageAccess #VOC2025 #MeetTheCommissioners

Of all the @okfn.bsky.social people speaking in this intro, none are native English speakers, and yet they are speaking English. Lack of documentation in other languages is also a big problem. #LanguageJustice @risingvoices.bsky.social

Transcribing speech is never neutral. It shapes power and bias
Automated speech recognition is a powerful tool – but it comes with a host of assumptions.

Un degradado rosa ocupa la mayor parte del gráfico; un borde con patrón en blanco y negro separa el degradado de un bloque blanco situado en la parte inferior. En la parte superior, con letras negras, en negrita y mayúsculas, se lee: «Descolonizar la reducción de daños: priorizar la seguridad cultural y la justicia lingüística». Las palabras «Descolonizar la reducción de daños:» están resaltadas en amarillo. Debajo, en letra blanca más pequeña, se lee: «En este heteropatriarcado imperialista global, el inglés se considera el idioma dominante, lo que conlleva la marginación de otras lenguas habladas por una mayoría de personas racializadas (marrones, indígenas/nativas y negras). Quienes controlan la jerarquía lingüística determinan el acceso a la información y al discurso dominante. La justicia lingüística crea y mantiene espacios multilingües en organizaciones y movimientos para que todas las personas puedan ser escuchadas, tanto individualmente como en el seno de comunidades y culturas diversas. En esta sesión, describiremos cómo construir organizaciones que trabajen por la justicia lingüística». Hacia la parte inferior izquierda, un texto en rosa y negro indica: «Martes 29 de septiembre, de 13:00 a 15:00 h (hora del este) | Inscríbete en: bit.ly/DecolonizingHarmReduction». Hacia la parte inferior derecha aparece una flecha negra apuntando a la derecha, junto a un texto negro más pequeño que dice: «Desliza». Pink gradient fills most of graphic, with black-and-white patterned border separating gradient from white block at bottom of graphic.In bold, all caps, black font at top, copy reads, “Decolonizing Harm Reduction: Centering Cultural Safety and Language Justice”. The words, “Decolonizing Harm Reduction:” are highlighted in yellow. Smaller white font below reads, “In this global imperialist heteropatriarchy, English is deemed the dominant language at the expense of marginalizing others spoken by a majority of brown, Indigenous/Native, and Black people. Those who control language hierarchy rule access to information and the dominant discourse. Language justice builds and sustains multilingual spaces in organizations and movements so all can be heard individually and as part of diverse communities and cultures. In this session, we’ll outline how to build organizations working towards language justice.” Toward bottom left, text in pink and black reads, “Tuesday, Sept. 29 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET | Register: bit.ly/DecolonizingHarmReduction”. Toward bottom right is black arrow pointing right beside smaller black text reading, “Swipe.”

Reproductive justice demands more than access — it demands equity. That means recognizing and addressing the systemic barriers that Asian communities in Canada continue to face.
