New linguistics experiment just dropped...
Post from Linguistics Discovery Facebook page. Two almost identical Labubu toys next to each other. One is standard - rounded and fluffy, and is labelled Labubu. The other has been digitally tweaked to be spiky and is labelled Lakiki.

Finished my week at an #Aurora event run by our University's Aurora Alumnae Network.

So many people I spoke to said that they're grateful for the opportunity to do some reflection. Events like this give a boost in reminding us what we learnt at Aurora.
Two name stickers, one handwritten and one printed, reading "Emma Sykes, pronouns she/her".

Giving blood - you should do too if you can! 💙
An arm with a tube stuck in it, censored by an illustrated red drop. Another drop reads give blood and save up to three lives in an hour.

Having a Teams meeting with the dark side.
Wearing a black hood, Emma smiles eerily at the camera. Her background is the brutalist architecture of the University of Leeds, looking almost like a spacestation.

I spoke about my Aurora experience to the next cohort of Aurorans today. It was nerve-wracking being out of my comfort zone but went well.

Feel a bit like dancing now - must be the adrenaline wearing off!

We start our Friday with Scribblio (an online Pictionary type game). A great way to get the brain working in new and interesting directions!

This is one of mine from this morning...
