UGH I’m gonna have to talk about “transgender for everyone” in my dissertation aren’t I?

So far my experience actually writing up my dissertation has been a lot of finding creative ways to say “I got distracted by this curious thing in the data and decided to follow that lead”

I sure picked a good year to finally buy Chiefs gear after years of my family haranguing me about it 🙄

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime. The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all. It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

I really was so convinced JADE was singing “I’m a little depressed, and you’re a little bit tall” on This Is What We Dance For and I was like girl I’ve been there

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

language change is so powerful- I cannot believe I just heard my 80-something year old grandfather use "hashtag" in a context where I was 1000% expecting him to say "pound sign" or similar (i.e. not a context in which it was being used as an actual tag of any kind)

Excited to share that, with @cat-tebaldi.bsky.social , we’ve published a new article in New Media & Society! We examine how far-right actors on X (formerly Twitter) instrumentalize wellness culture to spread reactionary ideology. Thread below 🧵

Hate hate hate that I have to update old lecture slide's from "the Trump Administration" to "the first Trump Administration" and that's how referring expressions are making me sad today

Genuinely surprised by how much I’m enjoying the new Katy single - Thank God we are leaving the 143 era behind! 🎶

Google what’s a good job for someone who just really likes getting to talk to strangers

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Dude, this is just a shout-out to @jspsych.org and its flexibility - wanted a quick and fun way to practice some vocabulary late last night so took <1hr to build a memory-game plugin that I can scale for practice now! Bonus points if you get the language :)

I’ve never seen a company tank their users’ goodwill as quickly as Duolingo has with the new energy system. Did they do ANY user testing on that system before pushing it? Folks on the fora for other language learning apps are literally referring to themselves as “energy refugees”…

Why will my dog eat literally anything EXCEPT his beef-flavored heartworm medication and must we do this dance every month

Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

What is Joe Biden’s plan to rectify the fact that not a SINGLE ONE of Demi’s revamped rock hits is on the “Demi Lovato Essentials” album on Apple Music

I love how many hats linguistics lets me wear. There's the social sciences hat, the humanities hat, the data science hat, and even the physics and biology hats! If only I had more heads to wear all hats at once!

Gorgeous timeline cleanse.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Wow JADE just released the debut of the decade so far imo. This album is fresh, fun, moving, and inspired all in one. Kudos to a pop QUEEN. 👑🎶

@netflix.com PLEASE release the foreign language versions of all the KPOP DEMON HUNTERS I’m begging

At a launch event at the @archive.org for @chucktingle.bsky.social’s new book & this is my new balloon giraffe a nice couple just made for me. Her name is Laverne and she is a literate queen. 🦒🎈

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

I have far too much fun making fillers for my experiments 🧪 #Linguistics #CognitiveScience

i can’t find a photo right now but my all time favourite merchandise design for our undergrad linguistics society was the classic wug drawing with ‘ceci n’est pas un wug’ 🐦🐦

This is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve seen today. Yeah, I’d love if Democrats… stopped acknowledging my existence in the queer community. This is pushing right wing bullshit and Dems on board should be ashamed

Sorry to my neighbors who’ve only heard KATSEYE for the last 2 months

So often I have to remind myself that life in California is so not like life anywhere else in this country. Today I had a 5(?) year old ask me my pronouns, unprompted, and then he shared his with me. Lovely moment but I have a feeling this is not a universal experience 😂

They don’t know I’m coding my data while listening to “Thrift Shop”

Biggest piece of advice for incoming grad students: take preventative care of your health 🙃

If you need cute today, here’s my dog with 4 different pillows and 2 blankets in his little nest

The soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters is such a banger tbh but also “fit check for my napalm era” is an insane lyric lmao

My boyfriend just accused me of virtue signaling for saying I love broccoli????

whatever you think of the country as a whole there are still a whole lot of great people here who deserve better than this

This answer that Mamdani provided in a 2020 interview shows that he has always been extremely open about the complexities of his diasporic identity and remains the perfect rebuttal to the attempted scandal the NYT is trying to create today. africasacountry.com/2020/01/roti...

The opening of Kesha’s album can only be described as a horny Eric Whitacre piece written for Enya, remixed by the cast of Urinetown feat. the vocal stylings of one Mrs Kesha Rose

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

a better world is possible, comrades!!!

how do people jointly traverse semantic space in conversation? in this cogsci paper, we consider conversation as a form of joint action in which people explore content with nested levels of specificity. conversations and topics start out the same and get idiosyncratic as they progress. osf.io/69yw2/
