Just realised I’m matching with my new book by @robdrummond.bsky.social - excited to finally read it!

I’m holding the book „You’re all talk“ by Rob Drummond. The book has a bright blue cover. I’m wearing a jumper in a very similar colour.

Eine Einordnung allein reicht nicht. Wir lassen nicht zu, dass Menschen an unserer @hhu.de pathologisiert und unausgewogene Darstellungen des Forschungsstands unter dem Deckmantel der Wissenschaftsfreiheit als gute Wissenschaft verkauft werden. hhu-fuer-alle.de – lesen, teilen, unterschreiben!

Ich habe mich dagegen entschieden, einfach nur meine Notizen zu teilen, da ich die Aussagen der VL nicht ohne Einordnung reproduzieren möchte. Daher habe ich eine Einordnung geschrieben: dominicschmitz.com/einordnung_v... Disclaimer: Die Einordnung ist kein wortgetreues Protokoll (1/4)

Das wird ja, wenn ich den heutigen Tag in Social Media betrachte, fast nirgendwo thematisiert: KI und Wasser. Und auch in den Medien war bei den Hitzewellen verhältnismäßig wenig zum Zusammenhang zu lesen. www.derstandard.de/story/300000...

derstandard.de

KI-Rechenzentren dürften 2030 einen Wasserverbrauch wie 1,3 Milliarden Menschen haben

Ein neuer Bericht schätzt die Umweltfolgen von Datenzentren und KI-Anfragen ab – und rät unter anderem zum Verzicht auf Höflichkeit. Fachleute sehen dies kritisch

Not saying that @hhu.de is the perfect place for a linguistics meets gender meets queerness conference... But have you seen what their English #Linguistics lecturer Christian Uffmann aka Phonobro just dropped? www.instagram.com/reel/DJi8Tnp... Join us at LILG! lilg.div-ling.org

A photo of three people: On the left a dragqueen with orange hair in a black dress, in the middle a person with sunglasses, brown hair and a white t-shirt, on the right a person with short brown hair, glasses, and a white shirt with circles on it. They carry a rainbow flag. In the background more people are somewhat visible, they seem to be dancing. On the wall in the background, there is a progressive pride flag.

My colleague at @hhu.bsky.social and go-to-phonologist Christian Uffmann just released a special music video to introduce himself. He truly puts the fun back in phonology, the antics in semantics, and makes you scream for more more more morphology 🎶🎵 #linguistics www.instagram.com/reel/DDHUNSB...

Grammar is not the “rules” you were taught in school. It’s what your brain does to make sense of the linguistic input it’s exposed to. The “rules” you were taught are a hidden curriculum designed to maintain a social hierarchy. Before you learned them, you were already an expert at your language.

Was du selbst gegen den stärker werdenden Rechtsextremismus tun kannst 🧵 Die Zeiten sind beängstigend. Gerade jetzt ist es aber unglaublich wichtig, dass der AfD nicht das Feld überlassen wird. Wir können und dürfen Rechtsextremismus nicht einfach so hinnehmen, dafür ist es zu gefährlich.
