👆This 👉 mechanisms working on short timescales (e.g. conversation) can cause effects in the longer term, leading to language change

Please consider signing this open letter if you are an UvA alumni. Police violence at universities is not only a matter of standing on the wrong side of history, but also an authoritarian attack on political liberties and the possibility of a genuinely democratic public sphere.

Great to be back on Victoria Embankment and walk past my old friend, and favourite example of how men vs women are depicted in statues: man, real historical figure, literally just a head because he’s so brainy; woman: mythical, fawning, forgot to get dressed

I'm looking for tangram shapes for an interaction experiment, but it is somehow incredibly hard to find a good set! Does anyone know a good repository? 🙏🙏
