today's cards: we progress, move forward, life gets a little easier, then we hit a roadbump, we're presented with an issue, we move through it. The issue will keep coming up again and again until we accept our part in it & make internal changes. this way we grow! #tarot #tarotsky

any ideas for more similar, recent readings on social media communication, having to do with intercultural communication (broadly understood)? In my intercultural comm class I like to include readings that are about how ppl could have different norms leading to miscommunication CMC/social media

Excellent news: the UK’s return to the Erasmus+ programme is something I have long championed. It will create new opportunities for young people to study, train and gain experience abroad. A huge win for London and the next generation.

@markdingemanse.net just said: “proper CA” is a social construct and also an interactional achievement! And that sums it all up!

At the #ICCA2026 panel "At the borders of EMCA- Decentering Normativity to Engage with Interactional Pluralities", panel co-organiser @samiraibnelkaid.bsky.social takes some time to acknowledge the talks that we're missing out on (because they were rejected or unable to travel)

Samira Ibnelkaïd showing a slide with three talks that we're missing out on today: "Unsettling signs: Indexical Disorder and the Diacritics of Raciolinguistic Life" by Jonathan Rosa; "Recovering the Interactional Production of Inequality and Marginalisation" by Phil Hutchinson, and "Practices for Activity Transitions in Late 19th Century Immigrant Letters" by Nordlund et al.

Next we have Madeleine Wirzén & Karin Osvaldsson Cromdal presenting on Talking diversity (one of the themes #icca2026), deviance & parental norms in child protection interviews.

Next is @maritoddkvam.bsky.social presenting on epistemic & deontic resources in resisting problem ownership. Who gets to decide what the problem is? How negotiated is the decision? Social care is both about care & control: what institutional consequences does it have negotiating who gets to decide?
