  Hm, seems you can add #RSS feeds to your #Mastodon feed using @birb@rss-parrot.net. Gonna try it out for a couple of the big #linguistics #journals in my field.

  @amyfou @linguistics Interesting! Is this student (more or less) a native English speaker, too?

  Discovered a new reason to get off #Github: I'm starting to received scam messages disguised as job offers. I'm definitely ready to move over to #Codeberg. #git

  US Sanctions Zigzag: 1. [ Noun ] [ Verb Noun ] or 2. [ Noun Noun ] [ Verb ] For a sec, I was wondering what this company Zigzag had done. A lack of #titlecase would probably help some #headlines. #linguistics #syntax #orthography #NYT #US #sanctions #USpol

  Why is #ColeAllen's #manifesto being described as anti-#Christian in the #media? He literally describes himself as a Christian in it and thanks his #church. Are we really just gonna parrot whatever characterization #Trump gives of this guy? #whitehousecorrespondentsdinner https://www.newsweek.com/cole-allen-manifesto-shooting-suspect-anti-trump-message-detailed-11880026

  It's worth remembering just how far #US #politicians will go to protect the #profits of #capitalists and insulate those capitalists from repercussions even when that means letting them murder #workers for going on #strike as in the #Ludlowmassacre. #USpol #unions #striking #Colorado #CO #Ludlow #music #folkmusic #WoodyGuthrie https://woodyguthrie.bandcamp.com/track/ludlow-massacre-2

  I'm shocked to see something in the news that legitimately makes me happy. #AndreTheGiant #wrestling #NorthCarolina #NC https://apnews.com/article/andre-giant-marker-north-carolina-50f72416176238154f5b652a833e814b

  #Palantir's bizarre manifesto suggests to me that #AlexKarp is a deeply confused individual with entirely too much power.

  Just a reminder (again) that #Obama already did what #Trump wants to do now with #Iran, and he did it without killing anyone, without threatening genocide, without upending the world economy, without alienating our allies, without strengthening #Russia, and without emboldening Iran. But Trump couldn't let a Black man's success stand, so here we are in a complete cluster fuck just so a #racist can try to take credit for something that was already done. #USpol

  For #citations in lit reviews, #APA and #ASA styles both suggest past #tense whereas #Chicagostyle suggests present. Despite this, I can't recall ever seeing past tense used in any #academic #articles or #books, not even in the ASA's flagship #journal, #American #Sociological Review. Even when a standard is explicitly codified, it appears that those doing the codifying don't strictly adhere to it but are not criticized for these oversights. #writing #research #science #E...

  It's bad enough that #boxing promoters have embraced #SaudiArabia's #sportswashing, and I understand why fighters who risk their lives would want more money for taking those risks, but even #Netflix is involved with facilitating their sportswashing. #FuryMakhmudov #sports #Saudi #MiddleEast

  I have the hardest time reading W.E.B. Du Bois's name as [dubɔɪs] rather than [dybwa]. #sociology #dubois #French #linguistics #phonetics

  Seems to me that people might be getting ahead of themselves with praising #Magyar's win over #Orbán. I mean, it's great that he's pro-#EU and anti-#Russia, but he was also part of Orbán's machine, ya know, like yesterday. A little patience before praise seems warranted. #Hungary

  RE: https://h4.io/@joshisanonymous/116133824395357624 A good example of where Young's idea *was* put into practice is Alim's (2016) chapter on transracialization. His divergences from an academic writing style come mostly in the form of apical -ing, lexical choices, and some minor syntactic choices. Alim, H. S. (2016). Who’s Afraid of the Transracial Subject? Raciolinguistics and the Political Project of Transracialization. In H. S. Alim, J. R. Rickford, & A. F. Ball (E...
