I have not seen wild of the angry dinosaurs since moving out of new England

I use a shampoo called verb mostly because as a linguist it makes me happy to verb my hair

I'm curious about your process. Like do you use Scrivener? Notion? Sticky notes all over a wall?

When we rented my manual wheelchair I did not imagine that I would hurt my shoulders every time I wheel. I wanted the exercise not the misery. Looking into power scooters for teaching.

I know this is petty but I would love a small measure of prestige as a scholar of disability that other fields seem to get on social media. It feels like once disability is added, the knowledge and years of studying are devalued

That was me about two weeks ago. I had to read a Mashable article to find out what drama I missed. Apparently the admins let people register slurs as their names.

Good morning it’s a great day to turn on required alt text for images and ensure that text is always contextual, and if it’s funny then it’s at least also accurate! 🫶🎈

I really appreciate that when antisemitism gets popular, often the loudest non-Jewish voices I hear are our Muslim brothers and sisters. I hope the Jewish community takes that to heart and reciprocates when Islamophobia happens.

do you realize you're victim blaming here? I don't think that you do, but you are. Blaming someone for how they protest injustice isn't cool, especially if it's non-violent. If people protest at the oppressor's comfort level, then it's not really a protest, is it?

Also: if for whatever reason anyone needs help with adding alt text to an image they can just put “ALT4Me” someplace in the post and it’ll be dumped into a feed where human volunteers will add it as a reply. #nofeed

This rental has four different color bulbs. Four. Different colors. Is this a hearing thing? To ignore stuff like light temperature?

I interpreted this as canon.

Wasn't it like a whole thing on voyager that human cooked tastes better than replicator? Like replicator food was missing a "soul"?

I love. love. Love. Weevils. But not like, anywhere near me.

I have one for Betty. Just let me know where to send it

They come randomly and without warning. Who do you want to invite?

I pump behind my scrotum to get the last bits out. Really reduces the odds of a piss spot by a significant amount

One example I can think of is the study of gay male signing in San Francisco. But we're too busy disproving concepts and reminding linguists that speech doesn't equal language to do really cool work like that most of the time.

Just downed the first pills of this clinical trial I'm participating in. I want these to be my miracle drugs.

From Smilges, J. Crip Negativity, page 25. It really describes how I feel right now having been largely bed ridden for the past months. I feel sad, but cripply so.

Some days my bad crip feelings are felt so cripply that I live in a heap of tears and blankets. Sometimes I feel despair—total, fucking despair. While a part of me is tempted to read these days and times as aberrations, temporary departures from the longer oeuvre of my affectivity that is, perhaps, less intensely pessimistic, I want to honor the depth of my bad crip feelings as no more or less aberrant than the bouts of optimism I feel at other times.

Writing I don't touch much other than to describe how it situates whiteness and ability in classrooms and overall. But yeah it's a different beast than articulated languaging.

The linguists don't really care about oxford commas and such unless it's a personal preference (each one of us has one weird prescriptive rule we seize on for whatever reason). Writing as a facet of languaging is weird because of the absence of repair work or simultaneous feedback

Apparently on Bari's podcast.

Taking a social media break on the sabbath was restorative. I will keep doing that.

How hard are you going to have to work to find example sentences that aren't sexist?

A bunch of large accounts blocked me during my alt text pile-on. I can still see replies to those blocked posts if I follow the replyer. It kinda sucks to click a post to see what it's replying to only for BLOCKED POST to pop up.
