I used the other site to (1) offer thoughtful accent content for #actors & #filmmakers and (2) connect with sociolinguists and phoneticians. Delighted to find the linguists all seem to be here already—hey guys! But where my actors and #film & #theatre peeps at? Who’s here? #acting #accents #dialects
This is fun and cool. www.npr.org/2024/11/23/n...

Reskeeting this because it's great and also because @scalzi.com needs more burrito content in his feed.
Shout out to all the artists, writers and comedians stuck in service industry jobs who still manage to find ways to express themselves.

So happy to see this! If you’re not already familiar with The Vocal Fries podcast, go listen to the excellent @meganfigueroa.bsky.social and @carrieg.bsky.social talk about linguistic discrimination!
The Vocal Fries made it into the New York Times as one of the top 5 podcasts for word nerds! #linguistics

It’s finally raining in NYC! One last time, for the cute kids and their accents:
NYC declared a drought watch today after a dangerously dry October. gothamist.com/news/mayor-a...

Silver lining? It's the perfect time to rewatch this INCREDIBLE Ed Koch public-service message from 1980: "KEEP NEW YORK WET!" (via @katiehonan.bsky.social and the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives)
