I went to a friend's house in high school and there was a man I'd never seen before there. Her mom says he's John Malkovich, her close childhood friend. I who know zero celebrities was like oh neat nice to meet you. Only afterwards did I realize he's famous 😬

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

It’s fun to catch up with friends at #LSA2025 & #ADS2025, and WOTY is always a highlight. But nothing will beat @mkb933.bsky.social GIVING A TALK ON SOMEONE ELSE’S BEHALF (not a coauthor!), on short notice, while chairing the session, and then taking questions to pass on to authors. Legendary.

“There is no reason to believe that any nonstandard vernacular is in itself an obstacle to learning. The chief problem is ignorance of language on the part of all concerned. Our job as linguists is to remedy this ignorance.”-Labov, in 1972. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/u...

William Labov, Who Studied How Society Shapes Language, Dies at 97
He laid the foundation for sociolinguistics, and he showed that structures like class and race shaped speech as much as where someone lives.
