Ok, Disney+/Hulu, we have canceled. We can't support a company that caves to government censorship. You won't see our money again until you reinstate Kimmel.

Hey if someone says that being trans isn’t an immutable characteristic because people detransition, you can tell them that the Court considers religion to be immutable and people convert.

Are you doing something good with your kale stems?

If so, what?

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.

Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.

But it's not over.

A thread.

Call for panel participation at #SLA2025 on “Responses to regimes of colonial linguistics” - expressions of interest due Dec. 2. #linguistics
Dear All, Seeking two more panelists to round out our panel on Responses to regimes of colonial linguistics. Please see abstract below. We invite papers from a broad range of colonial sites of encounter and historical periods. Interested parties please respond with 250 word abstract by Monday, December 2 to: puninderemail@gmail.com As Irvine has noted, the work of colonial-era scholars of language has often ?cast a long shadow? (2015, 208) on subsequent developments in language ideologies and practices in those colonies and erstwhile colonies. This panel seeks to build upon a body of scholarship that has examined the development of colonial regimes of language (cf. Cohn 1996; Errington 2008; Fabian 1986; Hanks 2010; Heller & McElhinny 2017; Irvine 1993; Rafael 1993; Trautmann 2006, et al.) by attending to questions of how colonized and formerly colonized peoples have responded to the various outcomes of these regimes, including but not limited to the development of ?objectifying? forms such as grammars, dictionaries, schedules, and maps, forms of education, and linguistic policies, in both colonial and post-colonial periods. How have communities adopted, or rejected, or alternatively made accommodations with, in part or in whole, methods and structures of colonial regimes of "scientific" linguistics? What have been some of the products and effects of these various responses? How have discourse, method, organization, and policy shifted in response to these regimes? Finally, how has the ?long shadow? cast by colonial linguistics affected the development of knowledge systems and forms of praxis around language in the colonial and post-colonial eras?

Well, my invite finally came through but I'm on staycation. So here are some nice redwoods I walked through the other day.

Piercing and witty insights to come at a later date, I suppose.
