@katiedimartin Wait I do this too and it does frequently work!!

[steven t. piantadosi @spiantado]

We are happy to share our new commentary on why using language inclusively for transgender people is perfectly appropriate biologically, socially, and scientifically.

Here is a 🧵 on this new commentary by @AndyPerfors, @celestekidd, and myself.

@OffAirAshley This person sounds insufferable and like every worst stereotype of a manager

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@mixedlinguist I saw your replies and was annoyed at how they dismissed you and said you had nothing to contribute. I have a kid and while I agree that as a parent the perspective is v. different and you pick your battles, it’s not like you were being totally unreasonable!

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@lingerie_addict If I check my bag, I carry essentials with me on the plane in case of delay or lost luggage. Anything I can’t replace at the destination (medications, contacts) plus stuff to tide me over until luggage arrives or I can shop (toothbrush, a change of clothes).

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@DeonTBenton Understandable, but I’ll miss your tweets!

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@GDNPearson @SamAsIAm Yep! His name was Krieger. I also worked in the park at the time and remember people joking about paying for projects with “Krieger money”. https://t.co/IA1nEPek7e

@LukeGessler since “I didn’t know they made computers that good anymore” is also okay for me.

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@LukeGessler Yes, (a) is fine, (b) is not. From NYC area and don’t have positive anymore in my dialect. I’m certain I’ve said things like (a) before. I agree with the other comment that “didn’t know” is probably what’s licensing anymore here…

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@lingerie_addict Honestly don’t really use hand sanitizer bc of COVID… but for other nasty stuff that is spread by touch. Like ppl who don’t wash their hands with soap after the toilet.

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@OffAirAshley I biked past this tunnel yesterday and immediately thought of you/these tweets.

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@hankgreen I was actually just thinking that you would do a fantastic job of explaining all the physics involved.

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@OffAirAshley The shirt was appropriate for the weather! Also nice ride. NCR trail?

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@notlikethecomet @50ShadesofKellz Good Dog, Carl! A classic

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@OffAirAshley I haven’t had a flying dream in a while, but anytime I did, my flying occurred just by like, tensing all my muscles.

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@lisasimpsonirl Yes

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@DrMBurnett @DeonTBenton I do this too! I don’t track changes but use the comments for myself a lot. Makes it easy to find places that I want to revisit and remind myself why.

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@jl_nicegirl @IDieClassy If only he could talk to this frog

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

@DeonTBenton Ah, that makes sense! Yes I usually try it while I’m actually at work using Stata. I don’t work after 5pm anymore these days (except on papers I submitted before I finished my postdoc!).

[Emory Davis @em0rydavis]

Has anyone gone from working in R to Stata and have some good resources on making that transition? Eg “if you did x in R you do it like this in Stata”? My new workplace uses Stata and R is just not an option long-term so I gotta learn Stata!
