I don't think I'll ever get over the moral injury of seeing cancer patients, their carers and almost all their health care professionals walking around with no masks.

I remember that from Google+ years ago.

Quote from a story on changes at the U of Chicago that notes they are "pausing" doctoral eduction in Classics, Comp Lit, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies.

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

Zoom is a large venue 🤷‍♀️

The proposed cuts to Medicaid are an excellent reason to start wearing a mask again.
Covid is a mass disabling event. Don’t count on the system being there to support you when you’re chronically ill.
Mask up to protect...

Veteran's daughter living in US 48 years locked up by ICE Certain legal provisions allow for extending citizenship to family members of individuals who have served in the U.S. military.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War.

This is fascism, plain and simple.

Beyond parody.

Mask 😷 the working class because we have no national health care, c19 never went away, and they won't tell us what's coming next.

Unmask 👀 the Proud Boys bc we need to know who they are so we can ostracize them like you're supposed to with Nzi fucks.

In this picture he’s holding the “Not judging your grammar, just analyzing it” coffee mug I gave him. He’d be tickled that the angle of the photo makes the printed text end in “anal.”

Haj Ross was a troubadour, an artist, and one of the world’s most brilliant linguists.
He always had a joke ready to tell, and he always had a photocopied poem in his backpack to hand to everyone he ran into.
Wishing you peaceful travels to the Islands of the Blessed, my friend.

Uhhhh....get off Twitter/X. Seriously. Stop making up excuses.

I practice five languages on Duolingo, but I won't be renewing my family subscription. I don't want to hang on as another service becomes enshittified.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the sentence says, the opening 10 words in themselves are the scandal:

Do better, Starbucks.

A gold mine for those doing corpus linguistics:

Will the conference be accessible online?

Any friend of Haj is a friend of mine! Thanks for pointing me to this series.

I keep saying, “What a ridiculous time to be alive.”

"He was mistakenly accused of Tren de Aragua affiliation based on … a hand gesture that U.S. authorities called a gang sign. … [It] is a popular sign language rendering of 'I Love You.'"

This would not be the first time ignorance, racism, & paranoia have combined to put d/Deaf POC at risk.

RFK Jr and Brooke Rollins want to let bird flu run through flocks to identify the birds that are immune so that we can breed them.

The problem is that production birds are hybrids, and we don’t breed them. You’d think at least one of these two assholes would know that.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
