Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.
Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Pourquoi la langue française est-elle si difficile, avec homophones, lettres muettes et exceptions absconses? Cela vient de la longue histoire de sa mise par écrit, explique Gabriella Parussa au micro du podcast autour de son livre.

For all you language collectors like me, there is an incredible indigenous tv channel in Canada called APTN. One of its branches, APTN Languages, features a variety of shows (many subtitled in English) in many of the indigenous languages found in Canada.

Une journée inspirante au Musée Pop! Merci @museepop.bsky.social pour l’accueil incroyable réservé à mes étudiant·e·s. Nous avons exploré les concepts linguistiques à travers l’exposition « Attache ta tuque »… et c’était passionnant (et amusant) !
I’m looking forward to reading this!
A mint-green background with a centered white box containing text from Cadernos de Linguística. The header reads “OPEN REVIEW | CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA.” Below, the title “EXCERPT FROM PUBLIC REVIEW¹” appears, followed by the reviewer’s name, Arabie Bezri Hermont. The main paragraph states that research like this is important for understanding the emergence of ergative structures and the verbal category of aspect, concepts still little known among most basic education teachers. A note at the bottom cites the article The state as a derived aspect: a syntactic–semantic analysis, by L. Meirelles (2025).
Ergative structures show how languages organize meaning — not every sentence needs someone “doing” the action.
Studies like this help us understand how verbs express states and events, a topic still little known outside linguistics classrooms.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:
Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

Ma publication dans "the Conversation" sur l'écriture inclusive (theconversation.com/lecriture-in...) m'a valu ma première qualification de "wokiste" ("immonde wokiste"). L'ironie, c'est que le mot "wokiste" est lui-même une forme d'écriture inclusive (forme neutre). "Wokard" serait plus adapté.
Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

Wow! That’s fantastic! Huge congratulations Maite!
