- It is hard to convey how awful it is in the US now. We are attacked, disappeared, murdered by our own government. Our leaders have little regard for human rights, or if they do, are afraid to stand up. We are not blind to the fear and chaos we cause to those outside the US. Sending love and hope.
- Thanks so much, happy that it motivated discussion!

- Thank you, Jo (and @carolinebowen.bsky.social ). Things a bit overwhelming here so I haven’t been sharing this new paper as I should. I am so happy that you find it fascinating. Made my brain hurt to get these thoughts formulated as well as we did…very smart co-authors to thank on that account!
- Yes, it does seem sadly quiet. I appreciate your posts! It’s a fascinating paper. I haven’t finished it yet because of all the threads that chime. Many partly formed thoughts, I couldn’t possibly have articulated. Helpful stepping stones! Thanks @karlamcgregor.bsky.social #DevLangDis 🦋
- In two hours, I will join friends for a 4th of July celebration. Like so many of us in the U.S., I do so out of a need to join w others who love this country deeply and, at the same time, who are horrified by the ways that our government is trampling on human rights. Have mercy.
