anyway it's equal pay day (kinda) for aanhpi women - it depends on your ethnicity. for every dollar a white man earns, a vietnamese woman earns (on average) 63 cents.

not to be like, contrarian but ok so we're speaking less? we're also likely communicating more via written spontaneous communication instead. let's not do the whole moral panic thing.

fulfilling my professor dream of carrying an armful of rolled posters across campus

six poster presentations on Friday at the @illinoisstateu.bsky.social research symposium - we start in the morning with a poster on LOL and then we go in the afternoon with (1/2)

Students were told for a decade about how incredibly important free speech on campus was. And then it wasn't. What lessons did we teach students over the last year? If you are a student today, do you feel confident that the government, media and university will support your speech rights?

repost for myself but maybe you're interested too

think I'm gonna worry about whether my cat has hobbies today instead of anything else, thanks

I love being unionized and I love unions

aesthetically love brick roads from the 1800s, hate cycling on them

put the live stream on for my students while we wrote today, thinking about how we've now done some things we've never done before and we could just be doing that!!! instead of everything else

makes sense considering what we learned when we did some mis/dis info work in 2022! can't wait to read this

Seeking Latinx parents of kids who use/once used AAC devices for a BA thesis survey on how to design these tools better. Please feel free to circulate widely.

been absolutely losing it for the last few hours over UCLA women's basketball, so proud to be a Bruin!!!!!

kinda funny that Microsoft wants me to put copilot in everything when they can't even get their product to work FOR ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE

cat just saw a bird mid groom and kicked himself in the face and that's somehow my fault

UCLA in the final four, what a great day to be a UCLA fan!!!! go bruins!!

the sbe news has me thinking about this article again

Thank you to Ada Palmer's amazing book "Inventing the Renaissance" for giving me so many new Wikipedia deep dives

get a lil misty eyed every time I think about human space exploration tbh, miss when we were all in on science

what if it was me, just saying

I also disagree with the idea that you can’t avoid citing vital work: if a foundational scholar in your field has harmed others in your field, don’t cite them! Cite papers that meaningfully build on whatever foundational work you’re avoiding citing! I think we can do this more often than we think.

had to pause my class this morning to assist someone screaming help (they fell down the stairs) and the way I'm proud of my students for all rushing out to triage the situation by assigning responsibilities!!! emergency preparedness kings!

low key kinda funny that Microsoft thinks I want copilot in my Excel when I can't even search my emails in a sensible way

planted my green onion stems so of course a hard frost is incoming. rest in peace green onions 😭

biking home under a perfect cotton candy sunset, how could you ever want to be in a car after that

this year my cat got diagnosed at the vet as Big and Screamy

on Monday I had to wear my full winter cycling gear and today I'm in shorts and a T-shirt 🌞🌞🌞🌞

DUKE come on you better pull through

I love that my zoom is only half working at any point in time, like earlier today I couldn't hear and now I just can't see participants in a meeting

please I am begging you stop using ai for everything, please learn to value your own labor!!

I need another spring break week 🥲

learning how the state committeeperson election works is fascinating/ridiculous

I love my joooooob I love talking to sts people and linguists and psychologists and historians!!!!!

a little offended I wasn’t nonconsensually added to grammarly’s expert review

spending the morning working and the afternoon just walking around in the sunshine listening to audiobooks has really been the ideal spring break

haven't been asked to review a paper in a while so if you're an editor looking for a psycholinguist who works on discourse...👀

you really think someone would do that? just go on the internet and offload cognition like that?

born into a trilingual family and then took History of the English Language in college and that was that, haha

if u follow me and are in the central Illinois area PLEASE stay weather aware and safe today!!! I am thinking about all of you!!!

if your accessibility tool cannot parse anything but the "generic American accent" (whatever that is) you haven't made an accessibility tool at all I fear

I actually love thinking and creating and dreaming and doing, and I value the labor in these things. I'm not gonna outsource those things to an llm! I like my job!!! this is the labor I've dreamed of!!

well I'm not gonna quote tweet it or anything but FILLER WORDS ARE JUST FINE ACTUALLY

the thing is!!! it is actually very embarrassing to have to remove all of my cycling stuff inside a restaurant

me when zoom crashes and won't let me rejoin a meeting for some reason: cool cool cool cool cool cool

there are no “theory neutral” models and if your modeling paper paper starts with that as an “advantage” of your approach you have immediately lost me

just throwing it out there that I love to be invited to give talks

just throwing it out there that I love to be invited to give talks

I have to say advising a student organization that is completely unrelated to my field (they're a dance team) is literally the best service I've ever done in terms of fun

84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.
