The IRB has finally approved interviews for the slang study! Given the lack of Black voices in the original sample and the origins of a lot of LGBT slang, I'm looking for people in those communities to provide insight in addition to those who took the survey:

bit.ly/lgbtslangint...
LANGUAGE STUDY - PARTICIPANTS NEEDED: BLACK LGBT+ ENGLISH SPEAKERS We’re looking for Black LGBT+ individuals to participate in a study on LGBT+ slang usage. Much of LGBT+ slang originates in and is taken from ballroom, vogue, and other queer, Black communities, and we would not do justice to their origins and usages without the input of members of these communities. What: A 30-60 minute interview asking about your membership in / relationship with the LGBT+ community and subcultures within that community, as well as asking about the usage/origins of selected LGBT+ slang terms. Eligibility: US residents over the age of 18 who identify as LGBT+ and as Black / African American. To sign up, please use the form below: https://bit.ly/lgbtslanginterviews For questions about the study, please contact Vincent N. Mariani, vmariani@udel.edu

I'll be so real this was me procrastinating but if anyone wants a pride-flag inspired color palette for plots here it is:
R Code for assigning Hex codes to variables based on the number of colors in each palette; colors.one <- c("#B2A4D4") # Lavender colors.two <- c("#5BCFFB", "#F5ABB9") # Trans Flag colors.three <- c("#1D53BA", "#854E97", "#BC2389") # Bisexual Flag colors.four <- c("#9B59D0", "#FFF433", "#A3A3A3", "#5DC562") # Mix of nonbinary, asexual, aromantic flags colors.five <- c("#E64D50", "#F9D910", "#6FBF6F", "#4B81B9", "#B35DB0") # Rainbow flag

Linguist twit—Bluesky, I’m running a study on LGBT+ English slang knowledge in both LGBT+ and non-LGBT+ US English speakers! It’d be much appreciated if y’all could take it and share 🤠
