A beautifully written review of a building that sounds fascinating

Really interesting to run into these small stories of Korean defence exports like this. Really makes me wonder about issues of intercultural communication between the Norwegian and Korean parties, new cultural exchange emerging, changing representations, and more armyrecognition.com/news/army-ne...

"With reports of foreign tourists causing disturbances on N buses, they are now nicknamed “Seoul’s late-night Line 1.” Both the N bus and subway Line 1 have long routes and attract people with distinctive appearances and behaviors, hence the alias." Lots here . . . . www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Does multilingualism in public places help you feel more welcome in your city? Come to our first workshop, "Re-imagining Multilingual San José," to learn about creative and educational projects in the #LinguisticLandscape, and get involved! Sept 25 at SJSU. RSVP link & QR code in pic ✨

"City officials say the move is about more than signage. 'We want to promote proper advertising practices while also sharing the beauty of Hangul'" A lot going on in the #LinguisticLandscape here! www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/g...

"The phrase, which essentially means ‘in my prime’ or when I was ‘top of my game’ or ‘golden era’ is all thanks to one particular player - Alan Smith" More discussion of 'Leeds Era' in Korean in the English-language popular press! www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/i-visit...

Hello from #Anglistiktag2025! The first time under a unified theme for linguistics, literature and cultural studies, and EFL teaching:"Anglophone Studies and the Public: Past, Present and Future Debates and Interventions"

Awful news. CAMP has a lot of wonderful people working in it and has helped a lot of young people. I hope this gets some attention amidst all the other horrible government news circulating.

Good, interesting, and concerning thread here. Would definitely like to read more about how survey researchers are dealing with everything like this.

Excited to see this in print!

Once again it is time for the 2025 . . . . 3 BUILDING'S FOOTBALL CUP on campus in which departments or colleges maybe from three different buildings compete in a soccer tournament, I believe! Part of the campus #LinguisticLandscape! Good fun for sure!

"Can Bulgarian or Slovak political leaders, for example, be sure that anybody will study Bulgarian or Slovak history 100 years from now?" Interesting and very speculative article on the immortality of leaders, the mortality of nations, and revolutionary times, among other things.

Good article about an important issue from an amazing project. Worth checking out more from this account.

Ok, so what is on my lifetime goal to-eat list as of now? Haggis pankora, French tacos for sure, flying Jacob, Australian fruit curry . . . And, I sure there is more. Hmmmm . . . .

*please share widely* My department (Second Language Studies, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa) is hiring a corpus linguist who conducts research on second languages. Great place to teach (2/2 load) and do research! See link for more details: go.hawaii.edu/mGc

As we head into Rosh Hashanah, a very important point of order from Canadian Senate Hansard (1984) :p

This is all to say, I’m fascinated by what motivates fans to buy makeup and how they feel when they wear it, if you know of anyone 18 years or older who might have insights, please consider sharing this survey with them!

Interesting interview with @axdouglas.bsky.social re his general take on philosophy and what not. www.contralytic.co.uk/conversation...

Nice contribution to the beer #LinguisticLandscape here!

More interesting English and Japanese messages in the survey or not-the-trash #LinguisticLandscape!

Sometimes the #LinguisticLandscape has one university mascot standing over and gently patting the head of another university mascot

Always good to see academic associations and journals join Bluesky!

Another one for the list of dishes to try someday!

Absolutely spectacular dish from a local Mongolian restaurant in North Eastern Seoul! Fantastic place!

There is often a lot going on in the #LinguisticLandscape!

Not sure how Bluesky is doing as a platform for academics to share papers etc, but right now Bluesky feels like it has that old Twitter juice (not good juice) that I haven't felt it a long time . . . . a long time

A little bit more of the fallout from the arrest of hundreds of Korean staff in the US, part of the protest #LinguisticLandscape of university campuses in Korea . . . .

Oh WOW! Another dish going on my absolute must try list! And yes, the successes of multilingualism are in many places, including supermarkets!

A deeply sad and very well-written story about Robert Munsch, his life, his personal difficulties, his incredible correspondence with children, how he wrote his amazing stories, and now his decline due to dementia and his plans to end his life through MAID. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Always find these signs, their texts, and the images attached quite interesting. Some rather creative contributions to the stream and walkway #LinguisticLandscape here!

Your occasional reminder that Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip K. Dick were in the same year in the same high school, liked each other’s writing, but never met in person.

I must not post. Posting is the mind-killer. Posting is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my posts. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn to see its path. Where the post has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Interesting intersection of coffee, cafes, and AI in Seoul. Mostly I'm interested in how cafes have taken on this role of showcasing, well, almost anything a business wants, in this case, AI. m.koreaherald.com/article/1057...

Before I sign off for a little while, a little view of my #Linguisticlandscape as I waited for a tram (yes, heading to work on my week off for more post #LL16 cleanup 😂) Middle sticker (überklebt) basically says ‘stickered over, MFer’ - a direct nod to the discursive nature of sticker graffiti.

When icons leave the digital world and appear in real life... not clear to me what the message is here though (beyond "we're digitally literate") #LinguisticLandscape #Eilat #StreetArt

Throwing this out to our Japan BSky network hoping for a lead... RESKEETS WELCOME! Looking to connect with an expert who could speak on the rise of "fast food" in Japan? Ideally western, but Japanese companies too! Food expert, economist, pop culture expert, historian... we're open to suggestions!

More tempted than ever to do an old-school Twitter essay on the great writing and writers of Twitter, and what became of those writing practices. Some continue as below, but the great convulated comic book-linking Twitter essays of Jeet Heer, for example, seem to have faded away as has much else....

From way back in 2014, after reading this again for a class, a fantastic essay on Twitter essays by @jeetheer.bsky.social. Really explores how this writing practice is a dynamic and interactive performance. Great writing on a fascinating writing practice. www.theglobeandmail.com/technology/i...

Damn, just started this, but it is gripping. So far a really really well done description and history of Fort McMurray. Absolutely fantastic writing here so far. Damn.

Enjoyed this novel, even if it took me a long time to finish it. Really neat imagery in the book, and an engaging world in there for sure

I guess they are testing the lights or something in the new still under construction apartment complex in the right, because for the first time it is lit up like a Christmas tree

Fall approaches and so I am happy to be following some absolutely great journalists who cover the Winnipeg Jets on here! Sports Bluesky is actually one of the stronger areas I have encountered here, and I appreciate not having to go to X or Meta to follow sports, so yeah, cheers! Oh! And #GoJetsGo!

Remarkable and sad, and I wonder what else others who are detained are making to help them make sense of what is happening to them. And I really hope more of these stories start breaking through in the American press.

Check out the nameplate on the jersey and the both great and fascinating sports #LinguisticLandscape here!!!

PLAN BEE English at work (and punning!) in this sign for a project about supporting wild bee populations in parks, part of an environmental #LinguisticLandscape!

I feel like I'm being watched, and noticing something interesting about the branding efforts by this bottled water company with a somewhat infamous name. All part of the #LinguisticLandscape!

Good fun here at the Tram Driver World Championships and neat note about celebrating 160 years of trams in Vienna! share.google/sWrbkzRuDgX7...

Quite the scene and sky today in Seoul

Adding to the to-read list

Cocktail Whiskey Highball Life Coaching A lot is available is the different bars of Seoul, and a lot is at work in the bar #LinguisticLandscape of Korea! Very interesting place here!
