I love being able to make things. Even more when I can make things out of leftover bits from other projects.

It's one of my top 4 fiction books and probably what sparked my (casual) interest in linguistics

It might be hard to find, I don't think it's in print any more. But it's in my top 4 fiction books!

@lingthusiasm.bsky.social I wonder if you've ever read 'Hellspark' by Janet Kagan and what you think of it if you have. It's a sci-fi murder mystery that is all about linguistics

My husband has MS. This made my whole day! I was very aware of the fatigue and heat sensitivity he struggles with but had no idea on the why for either. Dr. Boster explained that part so well and it makes the knowledge sit better in my brain. THANK YOU

I made it 5 years and nine months. One week longer than my husband. COVID sucks.

We're thinking about it too

I am in the caregiver position and I am so angry that my husband is going to be more at risk because I can't get a safe and effective vaccine.

I get weather migraines even when the barometer holds pretty steady as the weather moves in. I wonder if ionization is a factor

Remember: when it's really hot out, if at all possible don't just drink water. Alternate water and something with electrolytes. Guy in my ASL class had been hydrating but came in pale and sick. I gave him an electrolyte tab in water and watched his color come back on less than an hour. Stay safe!

There's a different ratio of theobromine to caffeine in coffee vs tea. Theobromine is probably higher in tea and it doesn't spike your energy as much but the effect lasts longer

I always thought it was weirder that she understood the concept of bridges and tolls

That's what I'm afraid of. It's the one Ghibli movie I would only show her with parental permission

My 13 year old niece really wants to watch this. I do too but I'm afraid. On a scale of The Rescuers Down Under to American History X, how devastating is it?

Holy crap, I did not realize it was that recent! When we were redoing our kitchen the contractor got offended that I insisted on using an asbestos company to abate the crap in the floors (fortunately nowhere else) 🙄

I'm not a fed, but didn't the NWS person in charge of coordinating with the local government in Texas take the early retirement thing (no shade) & the position is still empty? The local & state government response would have been nearly as bad either way, but not having that coordinator didn't help.

I have a wearable. I disabled all of the health tracking features as soon as they started wanting to pull all the data for their autism "study". F that
