Just a reminder that in the midst of waves of anti-migrant, anti-refugee and anti-asylum-seeker rhetoric and activism, there are also many charities working quietly, stoically and hard to fuel a better conversation and a better future. Actively supporting them makes a difference.

Hot tip for corpus linguists attending #CL2025 . Write your name on your free conference notebook and keep it in your conference bag. That way, if anyone picks up the wrong bag, among the many identical ones, at lunch etc, it can quickly be returned to the rightful owner. Speaking for a friend
