Proud of my standing desk.

Every election for the last 15 years I have been able to eliminate 2/3 parties I usually consider simply because THERE IS NO PLATFORM AVAILABLE, before I even ask whether I agree with it. How can this utterly minimum requirement be so hard??

#2025MMM Not only is this year my best score yet for March Mammal Madness-- this year has proven it to be the best possible entertainment for 2am breastfeeding sessions. Peak mammalian behaviour?

Arbetsmejl: Nu har det blivit dags att .... Hjärnan: Nu har det blivit dags att träffa Bolibompa familjen! Jodå, det här är mitt tillkännagivande att jag går på föräldraledighet officiellt idag.

"Coming from industrial chemistry, it occurred to me that linguistics might develop in a more scientific direction by using data on what speakers actually did say. I thought this might be accomplished with the help of a new [1961] but still rarely used device, the tape recorder." – William Labov

Universities all over Europe are cutting language programs and closing the doors to the world. We want to get a more complete picture: where, when, why? If you know of any such cases, please tell us (and share the link with your language and linguistics contacts)! elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/13...

Me: Ooh, I can let this bit of data run ahead until the next relevant point *grabs bun & starts stuffing face* Colleague at door I didn't hear: uh Emily, can we borrow you? This is after I spent the entire morning meeting munching dried mango. I am rapidly turning into Jordan from Studio 60.

Any suggestions on how to respond at work to 'how's the pregnancy going' that are more interesting than 'all good no worries' but are less ridiculous than my automatic reaction to say things like 'well, I have my food shelf back' or 'look I can annoy the baby by bending over'

I have had a 'new significant tasks yes/no committee' for about a year, and they are Not an academic. It is hilarious trying to explain why I keep asking about whether to take on more free labour for academic brownie points.

Remember Thug Notes? (literature explained in thug-meme-style videos) I want Thug Notes for everything legal and academic. I want a youtube channel reproducing the American Chopper Chomsky v. Everett meme for Everything Jargon. I live for footnote drama.

✨️ Also new paper 📄 🐦🐦 Are there dedicated continuers (generic backchannels in conversation) in Swedish Sign Language? Can we identify potential continuers from corpus data? Do they have special form characteristics? Yes, yes and yes! www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

Our Special Issue on "Conversation analysis and conversational technologies: Finding the common ground between academia and industry" is published! It comprises 11 #EMCA papers and 11 #AI #CxD industry-authored commentaries 💥 The editorial is #OpenAccess: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... 1/2

#emca Could you share your process for preparing transcripts for publication? Especially if that is transcripts->images! I'm thinking we should make a tutorial. Will message for citing you if I can get time together to make something proper. Meanwhile the tread is a start.

Sometimes, connections come in unexpected places. This is me and Stephan Chambers, Director of the LSE Marshall Institute. We met because of our roles at LSE, so I didn't expect him to start our meeting by saying, “you’re a conversation analyst!” And then the story got poignant. 🧵 1/7

Better not use me as a proofreader guys, just got my third 'please get this English corrected by a native speaker' kind of comment to date.

So, pigeons have response relevance. doi.org/10.1242/bio.... They don't know exactly to what, but just, they rely on response to make meaningful sequences so...😀

I think I'm kind of done with incommensurality. Others may not be done with insisting it against my wishes, but could someone explain why it's a hill worth fortifying?

Check out our paper on repetitions, looking at how different vocalizations & utterances are coordinated with action & co-participants

Would anyone have suggestions on where in EMCA lit to look for phenomenological/praxeological considerations of EMCA-analytic looking --i.e. practical or theoretical discussions of what 'repeated viewing' actually entails? #emca

I have been sick or taking care of a sick child for a month straight, not including the other various weeks since November, and I realize this is some people's everyday forever but I'm a weakling so I want to moan.

Massively grateful to have been part of this issue and for the time and insights of the editors when developing my (literally novice) thoughts. Please check out the many great papers!

So we can surely stop listing publication location, as it's been irrelevant for the requisite 50 odd years. Will the next thing to go be page number, in any text printed since 2005, since a) half the time we read it online, and b) we can ctrl+F?

Imagine the time I would have if I didn't have to have a different login for every journal (in fact, often x3, for reviewing, authoring, guest editing), or didn't have to add my stupid information like an ADDRESS to EACH of those.

Paging ethnomethodology of sciences.

The megagame corpus is now 236.5 hours. 😳

On the one hand, I am a klutz, who regularly needs the first aid kit in our hall. On the other hand, without me, we wouldn't have such a constant refresh and updating of supplies. I fill my role in society so nicely.

Everyone else's academia backup plan is a bakery. Mine is becoming an optician just so I can prescribe myself glasses that are actually correct the first time round.
