i will say. due to 3 nonbinary talks in a row. i think we gotta theorize nonbinary better in sociolinguistics. nonbinary is not "a" "gender" #nwav53

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into Fscist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

Michel DeGraff, a tenured professor of linguistics at MIT, discusses how his proposal to teach a class on language & decolonization in Haiti, Israel, and Palestine was denied. He faced significant repercussions: he was removed from his department, had a pay raise withheld, and his salary frozen.

For anyone having a bad night tonight, or feeling like they don’t “deserve” an accommodation they need…. You do deserve it. Don’t feel guilty. Living with chronic illness is hard and we should feel empowered to do whatever we need to in order to make life a bit easier.

I so appreciate the framing here (in contrast to academic freedom arguments, which feel esoteric): By forcing educators to say there are two genders, the federal government (via university admins, school boards, etc) are requiring educators to lie to students. It’s lies!

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

also, if you prefer audiobooks or ebooks, check to see if your library has libby or hoopla! a lot of libraries (like the ones in michigan) also can transfer books from other libraries! you can also often check out dvds and cds :D

*deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

A llama or similar large brown fuzzy animal stands in a meadow in front of what looks like old ruins or a historic site. The llamas head is thrown back and its entire mouth open in what looks like a scream but might have been a yawn. I downloaded this picture a long time ago and no idea the context or where it came from.

What’s so frustrating about this is there are thousands of flash card decks and worksheets and free training plans online to answer both of those inquiries completely. That has to be true, because otherwise an LLM couldn’t do it. But people want ChatGPT to regurgitate it to them, like baby birds
