Hey if you or your language and #linguistics students are looking for some end-of-term de-stressing, I put a couple more pages from my coloring book project up here: tinyurl.com/coloring-gre...
![Completed coloring sheet. Block letters read "Every body has an accent," with one word on each line. A forearm palm up shows three tattoos in an homage to American traditional style: A rose; a horseshoe with '[ɡʊd lʌk' written on it, and a heart tattoo with a banner reading "[mɑm mam mʌm mɒm]]". In the space around the arm, a pair of hands meant to represent the ASL sign for "sign" and a mouth. The negative space is filled with stars.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:liba4kwcbq2y7o5aq6ar7yse/bafkreia2a26v2kunxmblpcwcavskdp6wjy3kc453a66bufukwxwdwqd2ym@jpeg)
