Ok, Disney+/Hulu, we have canceled. We can't support a company that caves to government censorship. You won't see our money again until you reinstate Kimmel.

Just logging on now for the first time this year, so a little delayed but YES my word "muscular" is incredibly embarrassing as softening language. Because it's all the way into a positive framing. FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE COUP.

Hey if someone says that being trans isn’t an immutable characteristic because people detransition, you can tell them that the Court considers religion to be immutable and people convert.

Are you doing something good with your kale stems?
If so, what?

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
A thread.

Dear All,
Seeking two more panelists to round out our panel on Responses to regimes
of colonial linguistics. Please see abstract below. We invite papers from a
broad range of colonial sites of encounter and historical periods.
Interested parties please respond with 250 word abstract by Monday,
December 2 to: puninderemail@gmail.com
As Irvine has noted, the work of colonial-era scholars of language has
often ?cast a long shadow? (2015, 208) on subsequent developments in
language ideologies and practices in those colonies and erstwhile colonies.
This panel seeks to build upon a body of scholarship that has examined the
development of colonial regimes of language (cf. Cohn 1996; Errington 2008;
Fabian 1986; Hanks 2010; Heller & McElhinny 2017; Irvine 1993; Rafael 1993;
Trautmann 2006, et al.) by attending to questions of how colonized and
formerly colonized peoples have responded to the various outcomes of these
regimes, including but not limited to the
development of ?objectifying?
forms such as grammars, dictionaries, schedules, and maps, forms of
education, and linguistic policies, in both colonial and post-colonial
periods. How have communities adopted, or rejected, or alternatively made
accommodations with, in part or in whole, methods and structures of
colonial regimes of "scientific" linguistics? What have been some of the
products and effects of these various responses? How have discourse,
method, organization, and policy shifted in response to these regimes?
Finally, how has the ?long shadow? cast by colonial linguistics affected
the development of knowledge systems and forms of praxis around language in
the colonial and post-colonial eras?
Best,
Puninder Singh

Well, my invite finally came through but I'm on staycation. So here are some nice redwoods I walked through the other day.
Piercing and witty insights to come at a later date, I suppose.
