Update from your #LSA2025 food correspondent:

Catfish from Beck's at Reading Terminal Market was unremarkable

Not here for authenticity debates, but cheese steak from Gus's was darn tasty and they were still open near closing time

A quick stop in NYC before #LSA2025 means another stop on the SocLing pilgrimage. AITA if I ask where men's shoes are

It should be criminal to have this many great panels and events going on *at the same time*

"Oh, the dreaded plague-blight! A single touch and you'll be CORRUPTED FOREVER"

There's some Talking About Football Show on in the waiting room I'm in and apparently yelling like Gilbert Gotrfried is hyper-masculine coded now?

The first linguistics conference talk I ever gave was a joint talk with Dennis Preston at NWAV in 2008. We were the third in the panel, and during the first two talks I was calming down about the whole idea. Then, as ours was getting started, Bill Labov walked in!
