Apparently Bluesky has just opened its doors to people without invite codes. I’m there with the same name and picture if you wanna be my friend there too. (Also the same dull posts about work, hope to resume frivolous commentary soon enough.)

It's been lovely to hear from former students about what they're doing now and how their degree helped them get there. If you're a former student and planning to sign, please put it in the 'why you're signing' box on the petition too! It'll help us argue our case.

Petition is up! If you've already signed one about stopping redundancies at Kent (from June 2023), this is a new one about the recent announcement - please consider signing, and share. Thanks. chng.it/VQ4JBPf5QY

Please sign the petition to stop this vandalism.

Save Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Subjects at the University of Kent - Sign the Petition! chng.it/849DdDTn via Change.org UK

If you would like to support us, there will be a petition to sign very soon, and in the meantime if you're in a linguistics department or organisation, or you're a former student, please do write to my VC to express your feelings.

For the second time in nine months, I find myself at risk of redundancy as University of Kent proposes to cut nine subjects, including Linguistics, affecting 58 staff. If you have a magic solution to this please do let me know. kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/ni…

icymi, you can take our survey NOW if you have ever taught a syntax class :) #linguistics #pedagogy

If you’ve ever taught a syntax class, anywhere, at any level, please take our survey! This is an ongoing project with Bronwyn Bjorkman, Kirby Conrod and Caitl Light researching attitudes and methods. It’ll take you about 30 mins so grab a cuppa first.

I’ve joined a different (fine weather themed) app in hopes it’ll be fun like this place used to be. But I’m the new girl with no friends. How do you find people to follow? Who’s good? I want to curate a mostly linguist based community there.

another fifteen people from southeast England would take our survey over 100 responses, which would be excellent, if you want to spend a few minutes saying how natural some sentences sound to you?

Just bumping this. Please do share if you feel willing, especially if you have friends/followers in the south of England!

If you're from southeast England (or your English is), and you're after a few minutes' procrastination, I have a survey for you about the language of text messages: universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9F… (any English-speaker can do it, just especially looking for SE English people).

Arts Emergency has done such good work over the last decade (see the thread for some of it) and if you have a spare £50 to give them, you can have this frankly awesome pin badge to swank about in.

This link got screwed up, here's the working one: forms.gle/z5Tch5168k25gN…
