The last 100 days have been an unprecedented assault on American science. Our scientists. Our institutions. And the people around the world who rely on it. We must stand united and speak up. Our collective future depends on it. #ScienceMatters www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPlu... savesciencenow.org

When I starting studying, I had no idea that I would become a professor during a time in which knowledge itself would be attacked so directly. I also had no idea how much linguistics would help me process these attacks. Thanks @caitlinmoriah.bsky.social and @trentnelson.bsky.social for having me!

Love a good #pubday post!! This one is special, not only because of the case study explored, but because of the ways it shows Black linguistic dexterity! Black children are truly gifted!

One of the most harmful things about deficit raciolingustic ideologies, is that we internalize them about ourselves. eg. I speak "broken English", "my Spanish isn't good enough" @clemonsaris.bsky.social #actlf24

If you are in a teaching context that is hostile towards terms like DEI, diversity, etc. we can change our language. Linguistic diversity? No, linguistic accuracy. It's more accurate to portray diversity as variety, accuracy, authenticity. @clemonsaris.bsky.social @ujuanya.bsky.social #actfl24

@ujuanya.bsky.social emphasizes even if you don't have Black students, you still need to include Black identities in your curriculum, so this resource is for ALL! If you're not including Black identities you're not accurately representing the Spanish-speaking world @clemonsaris.bsky.social #actlf24
