Saw a sign at a protest today in Pasadena that made me want to cry. These are the kids the government is terrorizing.

An interesting analysis of gender and dialogue in movies, incl. a Disney subset.
Gender is just one characteristic that comes into play on our screens. In a recent @languageonthemove.bsky.social podcast ep, @brynnquick.bsky.social and I discussed accents and how they can shape how we see the world

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

In 2018, I realized that the emoji section in Because Internet needed more on gesture, so I asked @superlinguo.bsky.social what to read for an overview of the gesture literature

She was like whew, tbh I wish that existed

Now she's finally written me that overview πŸ’š

(and you can read it too!)
