I highly recommend catching @mixedlinguist.bsky.social on March 1st, giving a talk to the International Linguistics Association about her super interesting and timely research on the biases inherent in speech technology. www.ilaword.org/lectures

Would be super grateful if all #language #langsky and #linguistics peeps could share this postdoc job offer.

Thank you for the offer @theguardian.com, but I could not possibly want to do anything LESS than I want to do this.

One of my favorite type of linguistics talk is the “Look at this cool data I found! I just want to share it!” type. Christopher Potts’ enthusiasm is contagious, even if you’re a bit semantics-deficient like me. #plenary #LSA2025

Reminder for myself and anyone else who needs to hear it: a conference is a marathon, not a sprint. Take care of yourself: eat, drink water, rest even if you have FOMO #LSA2025

Very sad news, but what a long, accomplished, and inspiring life Bill Labov lead! None of us would be sociolinguists without him. May his memory be for a blessing. #linguistics #Labov

Being a linguist is inherently political. We know that all language is equal and that being treated differently because of your languaging has to do with the body you inhabit and not the language itself. #linguistics #language
