Oh come on… it’s not the private emails and holiday photos that is the problem here. Address the real problem. Make big tech and AI companies pay for the exorbitant use. System level solutions please. www.404media.co/uk-asks-peop...

I love this!

The reason undocumented immigrants deserve #healthcare is because that protects all of us. When people--all people--can't afford to go to the doctor or the hospital, they will become seriously ill rather than seek early help; they won't get vaccinated; they will be unable to work.

Now up at the #PLINDay, @charlenep.bsky.social on "Promoting genre awareness in language teaching", with cool posters where students analyse specific genres.

The 6th PLINDay just kicked off, on #genre based approaches to academic and specialized languages. PLIN is the UCLouvain pôle de recherche en #linguistique but, as current chair Kristel Van Goethem rightly pointed out, it also stands for PLeasant and INspiring 😀👍 www.uclouvain.be/fr/instituts...

📢 Your chance to catch up with our @circleu.bsky.social Open Conversation "Confronting #poverty: how interdisciplinary collaboration can offer new routes to fight poverty". We discuss a.o. period poverty, poverty and power relations, (alleged) link with crime, gender, link with global issues...

The @forward.com asked me to write about the destruction of the National Endowment for the Humanities and my canceled @nehgov.bsky.social grant for a translation of prose about the Holocaust. So here’s what I wrote—also about why autocrats don’t need the humanities. forward.com/opinion/7116...
