No one needs to be told this, but in policing research there’s this thing called “cop culture” [see Robert Reiner] and part of it is a “thirst for action”. Police inherently want there to be riots and a chase because police work, for the most part, is extremely boring.

Written my first book review and what a book it was! "Life in a new language" by Ingrid Piller (@languageonthemove.bsky.social) & 5 other authors captured adult migrants' experiences moving to Australia.

Trump has exploited the war in Ukraine to plunder its resources for his own gain. Bending the knee to this man offers no real security—on a whim, he will sacrifice his so-called allies for profit. Irish politicians should boycott the White House.

It is common for parents to worry about raising a child to be multilingual. They may wonder, am I harming my child’s English if I speak another language at home?

On Nov. 7th, I told my sociolinguistics students this was going to happen. They did an activity on language policy and one of the lessons was that repressive regimes always try to criminalize languages that are not ideologically associated with nationalism. I’m sorry I was right.
