Scientists have already investigated this. The result? The doctor pushing this junk science had his license revoked for spreading deadly lies about vaccines.

Being a linguist is inherently political. We know that all language is equal and that being treated differently because of your languaging has to do with the body you inhabit and not the language itself.

Beautifully stated and absolutely worth the read. For many of us, it has been crystal clear from the beginning that this type of legislation and rhetoric was/is never about safety.

We should talk more about how abnormal it is for a special counsel's office to be shuttered by a change in administrations. Hunter Biden's SC stayed in place as did others. Jack Smith has to discontinue Trump's cases while he's in office but he has other defendants. Trump breaks norms & it's ignored

The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th”
When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn
