I'm teaching a new class at Berkeley next semester:
Linguistics 265: Biological and Artificial Language
From the syllabus:
This class is an introduction to a novel approach to language. Linguistics has predominantly focused on
human language.

Went on a long walk near the Brooklyn waterfront yesterday & stumbled across a street sweeper depot!
And we witnessed a special moment — an intimate ritual of municipal maintenance — a street sweeper full of wet leaves & dirt & debris decanting itself into a garbage truck

Made a collection inspired by this, for @leaflet.pub x atproto community tinkering!
Lots of cool integrations & interop & experiments — from other apps rendering leaflet posts to cross-posting and import tools and markdown pipelines, even leaflet as headless CMS for an *atprotated* website :)
