I'm a baby account on here, so I doubt I'll get much reach but - I really need an academic home, and I'm wary of committing 6 years of my life to a place that capitulates to authoritarian pressure at the expense of its students. Thank you in advance. /3

topics I'm interested in:
- dimensionality reduction for degraded scripts
- linguistic bias as systemic bias
- cultural knowledge ecosystems
- sociotechnical systems modeling
- curatorial and archival architecture
- information flow and breakdown
- systems of language preservation /2

I'm not a journalist but info sci. I agree - you are very, very overwhelmed. Sincerely, thanks for what you do.

If you ever get the chance, watch this one.

And back at you ✨

"what the hell is linguistics?"

just as often as “how many languages do you speak?”

NU fell off my short list of PhD programs pretty quick this year. It would've been nice to have a walkable commute and a nice stipend. But the actions of the university (even beyond this) are morally opposed to any research I could contribute. Not much of an incentive to commit six years of my life.

you gotta tag them like #day1 - make it a holiday tradition

every “angry vegan” I’ve run into was just an odd, combative person in general who also happened to be vegan - they were like that about everything

divide us into teams and make us fight

if they linguistically buffer this any harder it's going to start sounding like simlish
