I’ve gotten a bunch of new followers of late. So hi; I’m a Black
Woman sociolinguistics prof at my alma mater, Univ of Michigan. I skeet social justice, linguistics, productivity, teaching, cats and dogs, and NCAA sportsball.

I contain multitudes.

My teaching assignments next term are:

Language and Discrimination
and
Language in the Post-Colonial Setting

and I am not lying when I say I genuinely loved my old job but also...holy cow I love being in a department where we have enough linguists that I can teach stuff like this.

Where is @dropout.tv BlueSky? Which fans can I follow when I find myself spontaneously busting out

"I'll be writing this down / 'cause I'm a professional"

while working at night?

When my cousin once removed wore a MAGA hat to Christmas and was allowed to keep it on after I pointed out wearing it was impolite, I remarked that I was the one being asked to have a calm dinner with my racist cousins.

Cousin: “So we’re your racist cousins now?”
Me: “Oh honey, It’s not *new*…”

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

I have yet again disappointingly outed a bunch of LLM writers by assigning myself.

"The Duocon video...."

Did ya notice anything about the person speaking in that video? Like...that she also teaches your course?

Yeah I think I'm gonna go Delta Reserve + Delta Gold. I see the community's point about "skypesos" but...I live at DTW. 🙃

Don't have time to read this yet but I can't wait. I'm one of the millennials who hangs around with people to whom I can say "I have a CSR and an Amex Plat" and getting the reply "Oh I have a CSP and a Blue Preferred"

Currently debating switching my strategy to a Delta two punch, though.

For Businessweek’s November issue, I have a feature about the high-fee premium credit card war being waged by American Express and Chase for the hearts, minds, and swipes of America’s affluent supershoppers. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Inside the Credit Card Battle to Win America’s Richest Shoppers
The fierce fight between Amex and Chase is playing out over higher fees, extravagant events and every perk imaginable.

Came for this comment. No shade to a typo on a forum where you can't edit and shouldn't delete after something starts doing numbers but gosh what a great typo. Can we have a Nobel Peach Prize, please?

(Relatedly this is how I learned that I did not do anything wrong; sweet potatoes sometimes spontaneously combust in a microwave due to their higher metal content than regular potatoes)

I always love what the auto expansion in Google tells me about the commonality of my question.

What size allen wrench...

...for an insinkerator garbage disposal?

Yep. Thanks, Google. (1/4 inch in case you need to know.) #homemaintenance #girlwithtools

Little sprinkles in my day right now are when I search for someone in my inbox and their NWAV registration (which is otherwise auto-hidden) pops up and then I know I am going to see them soon!

Writing a dissertation shouldn't be miserable and painful. If it is, seek support.

But writing a dissertation shouldn't be a cakewalk, either. It should feel challenging and at times it will feel insurmountable.

The latter isn't the former.

This message is for both students and advisors.

Somebody tried to troll here and went viral asking if anybody ever bought a book because they saw it on BlueSky and I am still struck every time I go “Wow the speed with which I switched tabs and bought that book!” after somebody tells me about one…

Thank you! #booksky #mybudgettho
