Overwhelmed? Me too. I'm trying to focus & not freeze up. A few ideas I've latched onto: 1. Every time you're not ok: 2 deep breaths, extra long exhale 2. Get vaccines (community care) 3. Wear a mask maskbloc.org 4. Take daily (focused, collective) action. 5calls.org www.transformationsproject.org

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Today in an email to parents, teachers and students, the leaders of Maryland’s largest school district vowed to “use all legal means necessary” to resist President Trump’s executive orders seeking to end diversity initiatives and transgender inclusion in public education.

This! Trump wants and compels us—through the manipulation of his language and public/media discourses—to be actively complicit in his agenda. I believe the same point was very well made in Claire Kramsch’s “Language as symbolic power.”

Trump’s plan has always been to announce legally questionable executive orders that pressure people to acquiesce in the hopes that they will be left alone. It is disheartening to see how many universities are falling into this trap instead of fighting to save higher education from a fascist takeover

Educators—Today we must recommit to education as a labor of human dignity and a practice of justice-directed social change. And we must do so:

I am currently in Canada, but all that come in make me feel sick. What my friends and all intersectional minorities are undergoing is just unimaginable. I stand with them, in solidarity.

I’ve been thinking and writing a lot about abolition, liberation, and curricular justice in the field of world language education. I’m honored and excited to share and reflect on this topic during my plenary at the upcoming AAAL conference. I hope you’ll join me! www.aaal.org/events/aaal-...

This is premised on so many flawed assumptions including that: 1.) sign languages are wild human gesticulations as opposed to fully developed languages 2.) sign languages and close captions are mutually intelligible 3.) there couldn’t possibly be Deaf individuals at the actual press conference

The very best mix of emotions as I wrap up my time here @buwheelock.bsky.social. I've been so lucky to call this community home for the last few years and I'm incredibly sad to be leaving. At the same time, unbelievably excited to be taking up my new position @oiseuoft.bsky.social!

Language policies are always about social hierarchy. This argument is that ASL should not exist. It’s not only wildly discriminatory and linguistically misinformed, it’s also a call for the eradication of every language and variety except for whatever this guy thinks is “good English”.

This is because DEI is often used by elite institutions as a cover to do nothing while mobilizing staff with marginalized identities and very little institutional power to claim they are doing as much as they can. And now even that has been deemed as too much by these institutions.

SLA folks and language educators talk about linguistic accuracy, complexity, and fluency, but rarely do they talk about precision, which is central to our communication mediated by the target language(s)—and even in one's L1(s).

Why is Bluesky so monolingually English dominant (at least at present) and why nobody talks about that? *I’m complicit in this.

Finally playing around with Gephi to visualize the sociorelational context in which multilingual learners found themselves in their study-abroad at a Canadian university. This is so powerful!

Indigenous language acquisition (ILA) is not the same as second/additional language acquisition. In contrast to acquiring dominant non-endangered languages, ILA is place-based and a process that is inseparable from the land, culture, community and worldview. doi.org/10.1080/0143...
