New research from #teamfluency (w/ Rachel Lopez, @hcshulman, @eliza_riggs12, and Jorge Cruz Ibarra)! We found that code-mixing in a narrative inhibits processing fluency and engagement and increases out-group bias. We end with suggestions to mitigate these effects.

@RDFrazer The only thing that I know of is Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich, though it is a book and not an article.

Kansas voters have rejected a constitutional amendment that would have allowed the Legislature to further restrict abortion access in the state.

The vote was the first statewide referendum on abortion since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/c4Mziu46Ho
