Here's what linguistics experts think about the recent executive order declaring English as the official language of the US (spoiler: they don't think it's a great idea): www.lsadc.org/content.asp?... I'm so proud to be a member of the executive committee of @lingsocam.bsky.social!

Another Elsevier paper with obvious AI-written text. “In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model. “

Case Report
Successful management of an Iatrogenic portal vein and hepatic artery injury in a 4-month-old female patient: A case report and literature review

In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model. I can provide general information about managing hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct injuries, but for specific cases, it is essential to consult with a medical professional who has access to the patient's medical records and can provide personalized advice. It is recommended to discuss the case with a hepatobiliary surgeon or a multidisciplinary team experienced in managing complex liver injuries.

another terminology conundrum with my Socio students coming from multiple disciplines: Multilingualism and Plurilingualism (a term I've not heard before). It seems that plurilingual refers to the individual user, versus multilingual describes institution/place?

the definition being, "understanding of the social, political, and ideological aspects of language," to me, is pretty much an acknowledgement, and I am struggling to figure out how it is a framework... and also the term in terms of definition seems potentially synonymous with sociolinguistics..

I have students in my UG/grad mixed Sociolinguistics class, from multiple fields, and they have been bringing up Critical Language Awareness (CLA), which I haven't been faced with til now... and upon researching it myself so that I can engage with them, I am left wondering what the point is?

so many students of mine found inspiration for their final projects in Language and Power from the concept of "Linguistic Care Work" (detailed by Dr. Kirby Conrod on an LSA webpage) - you make such incredible impact @kirbyconrod.bsky.social and we're grateful for your work!

today's focus was Social Media in my Language and Power class. My "tw1tter" slide needed all the changes from last year. We also discussed @lgospeak! I wanted to figure out how to bring in bsky wasn't didn't have a clear linguistic throughline before class.

My lecture tomorrow is on Languages of the African Diaspora. I have been dealing with major health issues across the week and haven't been able to give the lecture the energy and attn I wanted to.. I had an envisioned this amazing inclusive talk. It will be as good as can be day before creating it..

just said no to an invited talk - which feels like a shift in the career. Way back when, I was ready to say yes to everything, and build that CV however possible. Now, life demands require other things from me, and I can't travel like I once did! Wild shift.

Dr. Rachel Elizabeth Weissler @rachelawiselure.bsky.social · 16/10/2023

Is something wrong with me because I refuse to accept meetings after 5pm and on weekends? I am the only one on a thread that said none of that would work for me and I am feeling pretty isolated for making things "more complicated" now for meetings...

There are children having a blast running in the hall outside LeFrak. And so I want to remind NWAV51 the quote from Oregon State U professor Melissa Cheney “if we expect women to be in academe, we have to expect children will be also.” Hooray for the linguists who have brought their families.

I have been working with a writing consultant to develop a writing practice, so that I can eventually get writing done for work. He only requires 2-10 minutes a day, everyday. I've missed maybe three days since I started a few weeks ago - but I'm literally at 13 pages single spaced !? proud of me
