I want to submit an abstract to a historical #lexicography conference and would like to DM or email with a #lexicographer or linguist regarding a topic relating to the term "antisemitism" -- looking for a very clear and narrow approach. Help please, and share widely!

What this #lexicographer gets up to on a wet weekend, inspired by an Aardman workshop at #EUKSW a couple of weeks ago:
Sous vide looking of steaks with more than 2 hours remaining
I hate waiting to cook.
Where are my #Lexicographer s because there must be a word for this
Steak and potatoes very slowly loading...
Day in the life of a #lexicographer: let's investigate a new sense that's been suggested. (Some research later.) Oh, wait, turns out there are three other senses of this word - all of which are earlier than the sense I was meant to be working on, and none of which we have yet. Right, best get to it!
