When favorites collide 🥰

@mixedlinguist.bsky.social is SO good at explaining linguistic concepts, & I always enjoy @annehelen.bsky.social’s approach to curating questions.

Absolutely worth a listen on multicultural language exchanges, defining Creole, & why everyone has an accent.

You are so good at explaining concepts quickly & clearly to non-linguist listeners—which obvs comes with the professor territory, but still stood out in my ears! 👏👏👏

+ I always appreciate “Yes, EVERYONE has an accent” being repeated as often as possible.

Hi! I am looking for a Latin America foreign policy expert to interview for a story on US embassies' social media strategies for @prismreports.org. I've tried several times to find a source from WOLA and CFR but nobody wants to speak on it. If you'd be interested in speaking to me, please @ me!!

Absolutely fair, for the environmental impacts, the consumer mistrust, the theft of artists’ work, and so much more!
👏👏👏

GORGEOUS shot!

I’m so excited to get into this! I couldn’t stick with the original long after they left Scotland—as cliche as it is, place is definitely a main character in this story.

It was so distracting every time she was onscreen! 😬

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

YouTube video by TV Promos Love Life Season 2 Trailer (HD) HBO Max series

I was bummed when the series LOVE LIFE disappeared off HBO Max, and thrilled to see it pop up on Netflix!

S1 is a cute Anna Kendrick rom-com, but S2 with William Jackson Harper & Jessica Williams ranks among my favorite seasons of television, period.

This is such a damning video. You should watch it if you haven’t.

Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

This site helps people find radio stations hit by the public media funding cuts--in addition to your home outlets, people might consider donating to rural stations as they will be hit much harder than urban public radio

Such a gorgeous combination of creativity, competence, and confidence! 💜

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

I have found much of the travel community quieter over here (or largely cross-posting from other platforms). But just in case this helps you find engaging voices:

This breaks my heart for you (and me, who would love to read it!)

This story goes beyond travel and science into whose stories are being told (and erased) by some of the largest names in the game. Grateful to @evaholland.bsky.social for digging in and asking tough questions!

World Central Kitchen | WCK Resumes Limited Hot Meal Service in Gaza After 5-Day Pause After a five day pause, limited cooking operations resumed today at World Central Kitchen's Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen in Gaza.  This marks the second time in 2025 our hot meal program has been force...

After a five-day halt due to a lack of supplies, our team at WCK’s Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen has resumed limited hot meal service in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.

URGENT: support twins Seela and Sidra ( 4 y/o) to survive!! We are Seela and Sidra, we are just children, twin sisters surviving in Gaza. We write this with the help of our buddy, Sister Claudia. Because we ourselves have trouble finding the words to understan...

There's a great convo about this idea of mandatory service work on Trevor Noah's "What Now?" podcast with @tressiemcphd.bsky.social (starts around 29:35)

Tell POLITICO Management: AI should work with journalists, not against us! Last year, PEN Guild members ratified a groundbreaking first contract that included some of the strongest provisions in the industry around artificial intelligence. These protections not only gave uni...

Now, Politico journalists are fighting back. In one of the first such cases of the AI era, staffers are taking their bosses to arbitration over AI use that violates their contract and puts journalists' work and reputation at risk.

They issued the following petition asking for support:

One of my favorite reads this year! @josephvlee.bsky.social

Oh heck yeah to messy narratives challenging widespread perceptions! I’m excited to read the full book.

Agreed! I skipped those ones on my rewatch before S3 — I’m here for the humanitarian mission, not the jump scares and specter of death hanging overhead. More singing and pontificating, please! 🖖
