Happy Juneteenth! Nicole is handing out truth here. Remember, any judgements you make about the 'correctness' or 'goodness' of a dialect are actually social judgements about its speakers. #sociolinguistics #alwaysrelevant

Nothing makes me feel my age quite like the relief of cool air blowing on the burning soles of my feet. #hotflash #onmyfeet #why #burningfeet #freezingfeet #noinbetween

The linguists are TIRED, y’all. We are so tired. Someone throw the physicist a good introductory linguistics textbook with solid sections on typology, historical and socio? Please? We’re so tired.

We are so fuckin’ tired of having to correct this shit in the media for free. Just hire linguists, please, it’ll save us all a lot of time and energy.

Hi, #linguistics has entered the chat, and we could have told you for free that’s not how language works, but here we go again, I guess.

Shoutout to that small, very old cemetery on a back road in the Hudson Valley that beckoned to me with a misty tendril finger as I rounded a bend in the rain at 2am. I had to pull over and be like, “LOOK, I’m tired and cannot deal with a haunting right now. Another time, ok?” 🖤

Throw. It. All. Out. Start from scratch, retrain those fucking models from the ground up. Ethically. With oversight. If your data set is so large that you can’t realistically know what all is in it, that is REALLY BAD.

I asked an 18yo #swiftie to recommend her two fav TS albums. She could only narrow it down to three, but one doesn’t have a “Taylor’s Version” yet, so I bought the other two. (my #genx ass prefers to own my music, not stream). How’s that for “paying a price”? 🤷‍♀️ #swifties4kamala
