- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.
- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)Don't forget!!! Abstracts for NWAV53 are due June 15. There will NOT be an abstract deadline extension; this is in an effort to bring NWAV in line with other large linguistics conferences and we aim to continue it in NWAV 54 and beyond. Get your abstract in today! nwav53.ling.lsa.umich.edu

- I am so beyond disgusted at my employer. This has been the most demoralizing year in my 26 years working for this institution

- Got this done just in time for it to get too hot to knit with heavier weight wool. Helps when the person who’s going to wear it is slight. #knitsky #knitting
- My backyard last night. It’s another good antidote to all the disgusting stuff going on
- I’ve knit these emotional support chickens in the last month to avert my attention to the reality that is now my country #knitting
- Linguists! In your opinion, why would someone use ‘strongness’ instead of ‘strength’ or ‘tenaciousness’ instead of ‘tenacity’? Only regularization?

- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)The audacity of the university asking employees for donations. Every institution! Every year!
- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist
- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

- H/t @m2b2.bsky.social Academic publishing is its own weird (and often WEIRD) universe. Very glad to be in a field that doesn’t also fetishize the h-index
- I don’t see why people get worked up about academic publishing. It’s easy. You just publish in a journal that’s not-for-profit, open access, free to publish, and highly respected in and out of your field because it only publishes high quality papers. With fully transparent but double blind review… 🧵
- Tell me you’re reading the news without telling me you’re reading the news (I’m not reading the news bit seem to know it anyway 🤷
- @roxanegay.bsky.social hits the nail on the head “ Mr. Trump’s voters are granted a level of care and coddling that defies credulity and that is afforded to no other voting bloc…We must refuse to participate in a mass delusion.”

- Reposted by Robin Queen (she)It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
