An intro to signal I’m a real person: I’m a comp linguist, recent(ish) PhD grad now in industry. I build and test speech recognition based tools to help kids learn to read and keep everyone wary of AI hype.
Dancer, knitter, and general collector of hobbies. Sweet tooth.
Someone today called Python the Comic Sans of programming languages.

Pretty sure that makes Praat scripting Wingdings. No further questions.

In the spirit of #NationalLinguisticsDay here’s a 7 year commitment to a bit that few people in my life appreciate. When I finished my undergrad I got my first ever tattoo to celebrate. Earlier this year I graduated with my PhD and can finally say “Now there is another one. There are two ____”

My “Internet Linguistics” guest lectures always included at least 5min of me recommending this book like I worked on commission.
PSA: Because Internet is on sale!

I think the description of Old Internet People vs successive generations of internet users in chapter 3 is particularly relevant to explaining the dynamics of bluesky 🦋
Having been listening to @lingthusiasm.bsky.social recently (I'm through the first three years so far!) I've been meaning to pick up @gretchenmcc.bsky.social's book, and today I discover it's on sale! So I guess I'm getting that now.

I’ve been down in Cork for a wedding the last couple days and I’ve fallen in love with the accent. If you catch me trying on some new intonations this is why. #cork
