Headline from Houston Chronicle:
"Book bans aren't stopping at libraries-now Texas is targeting bookstores"
"A new bill introduced in the Texas Legislature is the latest in a crackdown on nudity or explicit content in books."
It's Independent Bookstore Day, so remember that red states are pushing bills that would force booksellers to cover displays related to pride, hide books like "1984" and effectively ban "Banned Book" sections — all under the guise of protecting minors from "pornography"

I have a couple students who are linguistics students in my French courses. I love them, but I’m also very, very biased.

I think it is because /ʒ/ is coded as a “more foreign sound” due to its relatively recent entry into the language and its prevalence in French words that have been borrowed in.

speaking without an accent is as impossible as typing without a font

Been doing this for years and will not be stopping. Writing is a skill that’s good for cognition. Human cognition!

In Rílin, you’d use the anti-passive to make the patient into an oblique. This implies a kind of half-assed or failed attempt.

I had a really interesting interview today during which I spoke about LCC 11 and specifically, the conlang relay. We have three rings this year: conscript, poetry, and prose. If you’re attending the LCC 11, be sure to check out the relay results! #conlang #lcc11

I found a few notebooks I thought I’d lost years ago! They have many conlang notes and such inside. A real treasure for me, who thought an entire syllabary was lost to time. I have it back now.

My sister did something like this with initial sp-, which become [f]. But for only a brief moment of her development. She also used f- to say "tomato", which was ['feɪɾoʊ].
