I don't know how to tell people that sometimes linguists are the worst language teachers.

Some of my great grandparents/relatives were Jewish refugees. youtu.be/Umft5hT_iUY?... I urge Israeli Jews illegally settling in Siargao to reflect on this history and hopefully act in the best interests of the Filipinos who are indigenous to the land.

Listening to a man at the farmers market explain he’s out of eggs as “the ladies aren’t producing due to heat stress”— and another poultry vendor says he’s out, as he can’t keep them in this heat. Climate change is all around. We just have to open our eyes to see how it’s affecting our daily lives.

It’s been a little over a month and the moving truck’s not here yet. A very kind colleague lent us her portable tables and chairs. The psychological relief of being able to sit and eat/work on tables and chairs is indescribable.

During the raid on his apartment, more than 90 shots were fired by the police, while only one shot was fired by the occupants of the apartment. The USA killed Fred Hampton for feeding children and telling the truth. He spoke truth to power and that scared the fascists enough to have him murdered.

and i think teaching is an inherently hopeful calling. it demands that we cede our own cynicism and jadedness. i don’t know about y’all, but i don’t prepare students for this world. why? it’s shit. i do, however, want to give them the tools to imagine and then build better worlds.

As a mixed Asian, I wanna weight in a bit on the "Wasian" discourse happening right now-- if you're Wasian and taking advantage of your proximity to whiteness claiming that that's the only way to have Asian representation in predominantly white spaces, then you're perpetuating white supremacy.

Hardest but most valuable lesson I've learned to date: No matter how good I think I've become at teaching and no matter how much I've tried to improve my approach, there will always be students who don't, won't or just can't jibe with you. And that's okay.

Finally mustered up enough courage to read course evaluations. They're mostly sweet. The few "negatives" relate to how I structured the classes in a way that don't jive with these students' learning styles even though I revised my teaching in accordance with last semester's evaluations.
