Call for papers! I'm putting together an edited collection with @hedahlbergdodd.bsky.social on "Monstrous Language": studies of the language of monsters, "others", and the in/unhuman.
Please share with any interested scholars! Abstracts are due end of May, with the goal of a complete draft in Dec.

This is a thing that fascist regimes always do, and it’s specially designed to terrorize brown people here. I spoke about it on TikTok www.tiktok.com/t/ZP821vydf/

Today in "linguists are NOT KIDDING when we say that your language ability enables you to understand sentences that have never before been said" (even if it was over a hundred years ago)
![How to Eat Apples
The king of fruits is principally valuable for its albumen, malic acid, and sugar. In its ash a high percentage of potash is found, and these constituents, in conjunction with eighty-three parts (out of every 100) of pure distilled water it contains, justly entitles it to rank as the best fruit that can be eaten. Apples that are well coloured and with a digestible flesh are to be preferred. The flesh should be soft, sugary and mellow. Under these conditions this luscious, vitalising fruit is most enjoyable. But it must be well ground or masticated before being swallowed. It [sic] this is not done they have a tendency to produce disturbances; but when the flesh is reduced to a juicy pulp the blood-enriching properties are readily assimilated and are thus enabled to cleanse the system and nourish the brain by the medium of the phosphorus this fruit contains. Without doubt the apple is the grandest fruit that ripens under the sun.
