When I watched these segments as a child, I had no idea that they were preparing me for a career in #academia #research #linguistics. I have so much empathy for Don Music's creative struggles. Also, I just realized where my headaches come from. #SesameStreetIsLife

This was a fun project, and I'm excited to see it in (digital) print!

Wore this #Labov shirt today to teach about The New York City social dialect study--then took this pic in my office on the 4th floor 😀 #sociolinguistics #legend #nwav
News about our latest publication 😀
Super excited for both the first day of classes AND the first day of #lsa2025!

Looking back at #NWAV52 --the great papers, the lively conversations, and that moment, 2 slides in, when I realized I'd uploaded the wrong version of my presentation. Thanks for hanging in there with me, folks! Looking forward to the next one!

Help! I need someone to teach me how to grade research papers faster! Also, I ate all the chocolate 😭
I don't care how lazy you think I am. I'm leaving the office after a mere 9.5 hours today.

Just saw an email from a student asking if I meant to post the answers to the midterm exam. WHAT?? After a panicky check of files and a second read of the message, I realized that she saw "answer SHEET" and thought it was a key. She was being honest, but it will take an hour to get my ❤️ rate down
Last night I had a nightmare about high school in which I said, "I still have nightmares about high school. Why is that?" And now I'm asking, why is that?
Looks like my subscription just needed a day or so to be processed. Seems to be working now. 😀
Excellent suggestion! Katie's work is great!
Yes, I'll definitely be using that 😀 Such good stuff there!
I love this! Thank you!
Hmmm...I've tried setting up an account, but it still says I'm not authorized to post. Maybe because of the US-based email?
