“mittlerweile [gibt es] fast überall Budgets zur Förderung der Chancengleichheit …, oft in durchaus relevanter Höhe. Ein SFB der DFG etwa stellt 30.000 Euro im Jahr für solche Zwecke zur Verfügung. …Aber … es ist … so gut wie unmöglich, diese Gelder sinnvoll zu nutzen.“

„Dauerstellen sind notwendig, aber nicht hinreichend für echte Gleichstellung“, so @mariehuber.bsky.social in dieser eindrücklichen Replik auf uns, die reich an Bsp. ist, was bzgl. Gleichstellung in der Wissenschaft nach wie vor schiefläuft — & Vorschläge macht, wie es besser geht. 🙏 #IchBinHanna

In Deutschland wird immer häufiger die Einschränkung der staatlichen #Förderung von gesellschaftlichem #Engagement gefordert.

Das Engagement zivilgesellschaftlicher Organisationen gehört jedoch zu den Voraussetzungen des demokratischen Rechtsstaats. Die Förderung ist demnach im #Allgemeininteresse.

„Eine funktionierende Zivilgesellschaft ist elementar wichtig für die politische Kultur einer Gesellschaft. Zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen leisten vielfältige soziale Dienste, sie motivieren Menschen, sich für das Gemeinwesen zu engagieren.“

Yesterday we received word that the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) within Dept of Ed (DoEd) was gutted--right now we believe there is no one or nearly no one left. But what does it mean? 1/11

Linguistic Atlas Day

It's that time of year again! Tomorrow, I will be looking at maps from various linguistic atlases around the world with my students, and we will explore how we can visualise dialect data on maps!

Have you spotted any atlases you have worked with before?

Because I think better in pictures, here is a visualisation of languages according to documentation and endangerment status (I'm calling it glottocloud).

Graphic distribution of languages represented as dots in a two-dimensional space.
X: AES (endangerment level, ranging from "extinct" to "not endangered"
Y: MED (documentation level, ranging from "wordlist or less" to "long grammar"

You know it's been quite a week when your last thought before falling asleep is the non-verbal equivalent of "if I send the soup per email, will they still be able to stir it?"

(I saw a three-dimensional soup pot in my email editor and tried to stir it with a virtual spoon, but it was hard)

Wasn't there a calculator for academic grant writing where you put in amount of funds, chance of getting funded, and estimated hours of preparing the proposal to calculate whether it's worth applying at all?

Or a formula? Please, I need it.

In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.

Thomas Howland, 1856
John Blanchard
Portrait of a distringuished Black man from the 19th centrure wearing fine clothes, including  high collar and tie of the day.
Museum Text:
Thomas Howland, the subject of this unusually expressive portrait, was a dock worker in Providence, Rhode lsland, In 1857 he became the city's first Black elected oficial when he was amed warden of its Third Ward. However, that same year he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wite and daughter, perhaps in response to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case that denied African Americans the protections of U.S. citizenship. Because of this decision, Howland's application for a passport was denied, despite his status as a free man with the right to vote in his home state (he did eventually make it to Liberia). Howland's confident posture echoes that of the earlier Portrait of a Gentleman shown nearby, the fashionable attire of both sitters serving to reinforce thelir self-possession.

Es werden so viele Menschen durch die Lücken im System fallen. Alleinerziehende ohne stabile Betreuung für die Kids. Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen. Suchtkranke Menschen. Pflegende. Diese Leute zu bestrafen wird niemandem helfen. Das ist ein Armutszeugnis für ein eigentlich reiches Land.

I, however,
Have such meagre power,

Clutching at a

While you control
An hour.

But your hour is
A stone.

My moment is
A flower.

I have done so little
For you.
And you have do little 
For me.
That we have good reason
Never to agree.

Channels posting yummy vegan recipes, on the other hand, have quite dramatically altered my diet (even though it's been vegetarian and mostly plant-based for decades).

Dass Leute inklusiv sein wollten, und freiwillig gegendert haben, wurde als „Sprachpolizei“ gebrandmarkt.

Aber Gendern und vegane Wurst „Wurst“ nennen wurde staatlich verboten.

Die jahrelange Propaganda, autoritäre Rechte als „Freiheitskämpfer“ zu inszenieren, hat viel zu viele gehirngewaschen.
