With pride, joy and a great deal of nerves, I'd like to reveal the cover for my book 'Why Q Needs U'!, published by @bonnierbooksuk.bsky.social!
I love the cover, with the endorsement from its first reviewer, who also called it "a wonderful achievement" and "just couldn't recommend it more highly".

I’m collecting peer-reviewed articles that have significantly impacted #psycholinguistic theories, methodologies, or models through inclusive research practices (e.g., minoritized language users, lesser-studied languages, different modalities). What are your favorite papers from the last 15 years?
