I'm so sorry. That's not ok. I'm very glad you've got your lovely life now but the route to that must have been very difficult. As always give Trinket a tickle from me ♥️

Also please spend the $50m earmarked by @wellcometrust.bsky.social LEAP for gut microbiome research in autism on things that the autistic community want, and that will actually improve our quality of life #nothingaboutuswithoutus

Ha fair!

Yes that's very true. I just feel incredibly icky about it especially around UG teaching. I guess we'll see.

I wonder if anything will get done? Not clear what that would look like... There are other people I refuse to cite/review (sure you can guess) but you'd have to unpick the entire history of linguistics to avoid citing Chomsky

I was doing exactly this yesterday. It's horrifying

Me "Luke Kennard has been promoted" @derekalanmeins.bsky.social "what, to professor of bullshit?" "Yes?" "I love everything that that man writes" 👍 congratulations

This was my first thought but I did not have the energy

That's true altruism

If everyone let everyone else go in front of them in the queue for the coffee machine it'd just be people walking round in a circle for the rest of eternity
