Decent introduction to descriptive #linguistics for a Quebec audience. I would have liked it to speak to and consider the influence of all French speakers in Quebec, including immigrants, and not just the descendants of the Filles du Roy, the coureurs des bois, etc. #booksky

Assez bonne introduction à la #linguistique descriptive pour un public québécois. J'aurais aimé quelle s'adresse à et qu'elle considère l'influence de tous les francophones du Québec, y compris les immigrants, et pas seulement les descendants des Filles du Roy, des coureurs des bois, etc. #booksky

In an age of acceleration and outrage, stillness becomes a strategy.
This book was written slowly on purpose, because what we’re resisting can’t be answered with haste.
Stillness isn’t passive. It’s how work is prepared to endure.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

While all the essays in *Disability Visibility* are important and often revelatory reads, I think A. H. Rheaume's "Why My Novel Is Dedicated to My Disabled Friend Maddy" will be of particular interest to #booksky readers. #ownVoices #disability

Loved *The Disordered Cosmos* by @chanda.blacksky.app. The early chapters on #astrophysics are fascinating, but the later chapters are the stars of the show.
In them she does an amazing job of showing how #colonialism continues to prop up and influence western #science.
Excellent read!
