Linguistics PhD. Believe me, that’s not a flex. Miss my linguist life and peeps. I’m a programmer now, I think? I love deno, web components, CSS, HTML, JS, and the platform. And pretty much every human language. And rabbits.
"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?

If like me you are a ronin academic with none of those bourgeoisie library accounts, this is a viable alternative if you are willing to edit Wikipedia at least 10 times a month. It has JSTOR, DeGruyter, U Chicago, lots of horrible excellent publishers.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for.
