A friend sent this to taunt me because...well, the unearned first-person-plural is one of my least favorite things in existence.

I just encountered the phrase "pullulation of objects". That fun first word refers to budding/germination but seems to be used more—uh, when it's used—for 'spreading prolifically or rapidly'. If you grew up on a farm, you might recognize it as related to 'pullets' (young hens)

So... the Murder, She Wrote project is HAPPENING! Myself and @jschnabel23 have put our heads together and we are proposing an edited collection that Routledge have expressed interest in. You can read our call for papers here! https://t.co/5sdN9dMzBl

Some screenshots from this compelling talk—what I haven’t captured is Dr. Benjamin’s ideas around “imagination”. A talk well worth checking out (ps: her book is @NewJimCode)
Join Dr. Ruha Benjamin August 18 @ 10 AM PT to explore discriminatory designs that encode inequity and to decode tech promises. @ruha9 questions not only the technologies we are sold, but also the ones we manufacture ourselves:

I need to dig up the presentation, but here's a paper: https://t.co/LRTBrFmKR4 (the fun part is probably all in Section 5: "What does the presence/absence of a nose mean?") Thanks, Ben!
@arikaokrent @GretchenAMcC It was a decade ago that I learned about the emoticon-nose generational divide from @TSchnoebelen's research!

What are folks using to denoise old audio nowadays? I’ve got some staticy/far-from-mic elicitation recordings from the 1970s that I’d like to make useful for language learners (so I’m not worried about phonetic analysis per se)

Hey linguists of Twitter—are you or do you know someone working on gender & emoji with special attention to non-binary folks? I'm curious for myself but also because I got a media inquiry and would like to point them to someone who's been thinking/researching in these areas

Linguists: I have a notion that speech pathologists/therapists have no effect (or only harmful effects) on 5 year-olds with lisps. But I haven't read any papers on the matter. Thoughts or refs? (Some friends are curious if there's a problem they should address; my gut says no.)

On this week’s @nprcodeswitch, we discuss: White power symbols Policing double standards and ...what we should call that violent mob of people who stormed the Capitol. https://t.co/KGV6Alh1Co

Like all of you, we are still trying to make sense of Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Because even after the past four years, there are still new iterations of WTF. So on this episode, we're talking...

More arrests have been made of parents whose kids missed zoom class than of capitol storming terrorists

They sure will. Here's a quick analysis of how, from my perspective as someone who studies societal impacts of natural language technology:

Ethics—or more aptly: taking responsibility for and grappling with the effects the tech we build has on society—is not some nice to have or ancillary concern. It's at the core of what we should be thinking about. @rajiinio's essay here lays out the case.
"there is no exchange of “fairness” for “accuracy”—that’s a mythical sacrifice, an excuse not to own up to our role in defining performance at the exclusion of others in the first place." Essential reading from @rajiinio in @techreview

I updated the corpus I've been collecting of transcripts of presidential debates from 1960 Kennedy-Nixon, it now goes up to the most recent Pence-Harris debate: https://t.co/JzaZTBr3mK (cc @mixedlinguist although it's inconsistent wrt to stuff like fillers)

Mostly, I want to advocate for the following pluralization: "Here's one baby platypus; I wish I had ten baby platypodes". (Also, alas, this is apparently not a real baby platypus but a vivid toy by Julia Leonovich, which maybe we all need to help us handle all our apocalypodes?)

If you are under the Bay Area sky and retreating to scriptures, may I suggest something in the Tai Tham/Lanna script? https://t.co/X6xqxrK7w7
