Cardinal Vowels
Cartoonish drawings of silly cardinals sitting on the vowels a, e, i, o, and u. Their shapes mimic diagrams of vowel tongue positions. The referenced diagram can be found on Wikipedia- source: Jones, Daniel. (1972) An outline of English phonetics (9th ed.).

i don’t know why yiddish needs a word just to describe people who are tall yet stupid but you’re not gonna hear me complaining about it
Yiddish “flokn” (פֿלאָקן) means tentpole, stick, tall but stupid

The FDA was literally created because in the 1880s, milk sellers were thinning milk with chalk, cow brains, and formaldehyde to make more money. Like milk specifically was a main driving force behind the creation of the FDA.

Daily bunny no.2929 has come into an inheritance
A young bunny stands in a grand entrance hall, in a grand mansion. Everything is blue, and there is a table with a note and a vase of flowers in the center of the room. There are three doors to different rooms, and it is like the first room of the game "Blue Prince".

Really cool example of games + linguistics from Kathryn Hymes at #LingComm25 - made a game for working on language skills for people with aphasia
Three boxes leading into one: Aphasia Community Members: contribute knowledge from their personal experience with aphasia and the broader community Speech Language Pathologists: evaluate theraputic foundation of the games throughout development Game Designers: Build scalable playful systems (all leading into box called "Co-Design Team Aphasia Games for Health)

They've removed:
"Black" - but not white
"female" - but not male
"LGBT" and "LGBTQ" - but not straight or heterosexual
"minority" - but not majority
"Mx" - but not Mr or Ms
"women" - but not men
"victims" - but not perpetrators
These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration
Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?
