One of my favorite genres of all time? Cyber Punk!

I've always been enthralled by authors who created their own languages. Ever since I was a little boy I wanted to have that ability. Both in mind and education.

Just migrated here from academic twitter. Good to get back in touch with old connections and look forward to making new ones. I will post on all things #language, including #processing, #acquisition, and #evolution; #statistical-earning, #corpus-analyses, #LLMs, #L2-learning, #conversation and more

Hello! I'm an internet linguist!

I wrote a book called Because Internet about how we use language online gretchenmcculloch.com/book

I make @lingthusiasm.bsky.social, a podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics

And I maintain a linguistics starter pack here: go.bsky.app/UUM7Gcx

More of this, less of bombing other countries

Celebratory dance in Hungary

That's why I built Libraryscout.info

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

I long suspected this happening on my win11 laptop using NordVPN. At random my connection would drop and nothing would restore it until I uninstalled Nord vpn. It was so frustrating I switched permanently to ProtonVPN. So here's hoping you folks figure this out.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Pictures of high schoolers protesting in the town square

Hundreds of high schoolers in Northfield walked out of school and to our town square in support of our immigrant neighbors and against the ICE occupation of our state. I’m so unspeakably proud of them (especially of the head organizer who is one of the teens from my parish.) 🕯️

Trump’s ICE thugs tear-gassed a Minneapolis neighborhood in the middle of the night and flash-banged a 6-month-old baby. ICE initially told a family trying to flee the gas that they could leave, then flash-banged their vehicle anyway. Their baby stopped breathing and was taken by EMTs. #GoodvsEvil

Unarmed civilians, angered by news that someone else had been shot by Trump’s paramilitary ICE, gained the upper hand over troops in Minneapolis, prompting them to flee the scene. #GoodVsEvil (vid by @noturtlesoup17 @FreedomNTV)

I couldn’t have said it better.

ICE agents suspiciously left behind unattended vehicles in Minneapolis that happened to contain information packets, detention centre maps, weapons cases, FBI contact details, hotel reservation and booking materials. MAGA troll & propaganda networks are primarily amplifying it.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

BREAKING:

TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record."

"Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “These politicians want a Christian nation— unless it means providing health care to the sick. Or funding food assistance for the hungry. Or raising the minimum wage. It seems like they want to base our laws on the Bible… until they read the words of Jesus.”

No preserving evidence. No real investigation. Probably drove her car right to the junkyard. The cover-up could not be clearer.

This cartoon I drew the other day sold, so I've made prints available for you. Just search the title I'm Not Mad At You. Please remember that part of the proceeds of all my art goes towards social justice people and organizations.

To every American who either didn’t bother to vote in 2024 or voted for Trump bcuz “price of eggs” or “Dems too woke,” we told you he was going to do this. We told you he’d try to turn America into a fascist dystopia. You laughed & said it could never happen here. Well…it’s happening here.👇

Let’s get more Dems hyping each other like this. The best thing I’ve seen in ages…

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back.

The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye!
