For those of us awaiting the next season of The Chair, now there's Lucky Hank (at least if you have AMC...)

I realized at some point that @roughly is my actual favorite podcast (& I listen to an actual embarrassing number of podcasts.) NPR layoffs are a bummer, but I'm esp sad about the loss of Rough Translation. As a plus, they had some linguistic-y episodes that were very well done.

This is a very practical bundle! If you're looking for a good deed for April, consider $30 for these books that will be sent to incarcerated folks around the country who request them from NYC Books Through Bars.

Does someone (other than this phonetician) want to provide a linguistically informed explanation?

NYU, in contrast, does not have a blue check. Badge of honor?

I’m running for D2’s Community Education Council - & the Citywide Council on Spec Ed - b/c I believe all children deserve equal access to a high quality public education. I’ll fight to end privatization of public schools, & the segregation of our students. I’d love your vote!

In the same week that this report about the research & mentoring being done by our colleague Jonah Katz came out, WVU Mountaineers · Let's Go! has decided to fire all of the professors in his department. This situation is not just ironic, it's a shortsighted disgrace. wvutoday.wvu.edu/stories/2023/0…

Hey phoneticians: Does there exist in the world a digital version of Laver 1980 ("The Phonetic Description of Voice Quality")?

If anyone on #LingTwitter needs a 🟦🌤️ invite code, lemme know, I have 2.

It's been a sad weekend around the world. But on this #IndigenousPeoplesDay in the US, please consider taking a small step to recognize the holiday. Brighten someone's day (& maybe your own too!) by supporting K-2 education in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi #Linguistics donorschoose.org/project/lelo-h…

Does anyone need a 🟦sky code? I have 3 of them.
