katie

just here to announce that I’ve had an exceptionally good week

oh galaxy brain because my ribbing is very ugly

yea maybe I just need to commit to this, bc you then just purl through the other leg of the stitch on the next row right? That seems like an easier change than the Norwegian shenanigans i’m engaged in rn lol

yeah normally i'm an analytic knitter

teaching myself to knit continental. WHICH SUCKS. a pox on europe and their stupid inefficient purling methods, every one of them annoying in a new and exciting way

reading the NYT profile of that looksmaxxing guy and I have to say it was a very artful move by god to give him a slight lazy eye

I agree, she has sexual tension with everyone she talks to and that would be stressful in a puppet context.

Badly overall lol

not loving it on this platform guys I gotta say

Not really how it works for us, no. Chomsky established what is effectively a major new school of thought in the field. It’s not “fawning” to respect and cite his work, most linguists in the US and Japan (Europe to a lesser extent) do.

I knew him, though not very well. it’s very upsetting

guys I’ve been locked on twitter for so long that I forgot what it was like to be perceived and addressed and i’m not loving it frankly

thank you cherissa!!!!!

some truly incredible performances

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I’m not sure you have read the room on this one but congrats I guess

“Ordinary, salt of the earth people would never tolerate a sexual abuser in their midst. Now time to take a big sip of coffee and respond to this group text with my old fraternity brothers.”

genuinely yes

Just waiting to see if you’re planning on developing a human soul. Not looking promising! Have a nice life

you, wokely: this is the perfect time to get in a cheap dunk on a CSA survivor for being upset that a former colleague is implicated in child sex abuse

just gotta pack MIT up and start from scratch i fear

You don’t seem to understand this conversation. “Out to lunch” means he was nuts, it’s an expression. No one is defending Chomsky here (except, seemingly, you, because your first response suggested being slightly wacky is as bad as hanging out with Epstein)

I don’t think you understand the colloquial meaning of “out to lunch”. I am saying chomsky aided and abetted child sex abuse. No one is defending him here.

Excuse me?

I know!!!! I honestly don’t know how you can not teach him but I think it’s far past the point where you can teach him uncritically without at least mentioning his odious personal views and associations

very real unfortunately

i mean there's a difference between "out to lunch" and "aiding and abetting child sex abuse"

this sounds like i’m making light of the situation but I am not this genuinely could not be more serious to me I want nothing to do with him or anything he had ever been involved with it’s actually vile

spent like half my life going to the mat for Chomsky and I have been humiliated and betrayed beyond measure like actually you know what aspects WAS wack. maybe those lexical functional grammar freaks were right. I can’t do this anymore
