I first learned about phonology from Dr. Terra Edwards. She made sure we know the definition of a phoneme by the time we finish her course. The definition has lived rent-free in my head all these years (nearly 12 years).
Been asked how I handle things energetically, specifically negative energies ppl may be projecting towards me-- I hold up a mirror to them so they receive their own energies. I hold up a mirror to myself too so what I'm working on, esp myself, is reflected back to me.
This is a really odd argument because I think at the heart of it, there is a deep misunderstanding about what writing is for. I write to communicate my thoughts and ideas, and to bring people along with me, which AI cannot do for me because it isn't me.
To the Pinoy/Pinay Zionists: Maybe this is a good time to let you know that the Israelis from that rogue genocidal illegal state aren’t the same Israelites from the Bible.
Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic
Pangatlong araw nang umiikot sa ulo ko 'tong koro:
Sa kabila ng lahat
Yayakapin Mo pa rin ako
Sa kabila ng lahat
Aakayin Mo pa rin ako
Sa kabila ng lahat
Buhay Mo'y inalay Mo
Sa kabila ng lahat
Pinatawad Mo ako
Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

I started listening to this song on loop 16 years ago. It’s still one of my favorites. Whenever I feel the urge to listen to it, I know big changes in my life are coming. Good changes. ❤️https://youtu.be/JedKBJVHhiE?si=7G-U-jVD8n_zmzsq
U.S. map showing total deaths in ICE custody from Oct 2003-present
🚨NEW DATA: As the number of people in ICE custody has grown, deaths have followed. But ICE facilities are black boxes, and they don't want you to know what's happening inside.
The UCLA Law Behind Bars Data Project has stepped in to fill the gap 👇

Fund the public libraries. Just do it.
Friends, again with respect because this is a complex issue: children born to citizens of tribal governments do not have constitutional birthright citizenship under many, if not most forms of constitutional argument and authority (incl. Supreme Court precedent relied upon in this case)./1
BU should reject that path, uphold its own principles, and protect the right of students, faculty, and staff to express themselves without censorship. Whether you are a BU alum or an ally, please add your name now: alumni.standforcampusfreedom.org/petitions/te...

Censoring these expressions sets a dangerous precedent for the entire campus community.
This matters beyond BU. Colleges across the country are facing pressure to fall in line with growing attacks on academic freedom and dissent.

Boston University’s removal of Pride flags and other peaceful displays is not a minor policy issue. When a university that claims to support free speech starts policing what faculty, students, and staff can express in their own spaces, it undermines the open exchange of ideas it says it values. 1/3
“Before the days of Froot Loops and Lunchables, generations of American children learned to relish foods of all textures, flavors and colors, while obesity and eating disorders were both rare.”

...why am I enjoying "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" even though it's so problematic?
we can remember that the Trump war is illegal and evil while also remembering that the Iranian regime is evil.
that fake report to ICE helpline the comedian set up to see had basically only 3 kinds of caller- people angry at a neighbour for being happier/wealthier than them, people trying to punish someone at their workplace and (mostly but not exclusively) dudes who are trying for revenge on an ex
I want to know if this is also okay for the Iranian diaspora rooting for the US-Israel bombing of Iran.
AI = manosphere = Epstein island = how many more examples
1000% what happened AND despite this young people CONTINUE TO PROTEST AND TAKE ACTION. That's the thing that I find so damned disingenuous among some of these people.
For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.
That's so great! There's definitely a need nationwide for more ASL/English interpreters. Completely understand trying to balance parenting & work/school life. Also kind of why I'm taking this training now and not before (been wanting to become a DI for ages)-- both our kids are in school now.
And down the rabbit hole I go with Gregory Bateson (didn't realize he was Margaret Mead's husband!).
English/ASL! And potentially FSL if I have Filipino deaf consumers. I'm thinking of getting more proficient in IS so I can do international deaf events. How far along is Mrs. H in her training??
Also, from the reading, I just found my new favorite term-- "complementary schismogenesis."
Deaf interpreter training is going well. Just took a vocabulary quiz and scored perfectly (15 out of 15) in 3 minutes. I just need to work on my practical skills. In class last week, we were tasked to interpret a sentence in various linguistic registers & omg I got so shy I giggled the entire time.
