#LavLang29
Final #LavLang29 tweet thread of the day, but one I've been waiting for:
Plenary Session 1:
“How to Find a Black Lesbian: Black Lesbian Lives, Representation, and the Quare Linguistic Approach”
By Dr. Nikki Lane
💞
Alright, let's get this thread going for my first #LavLang29 panel! This is my thread for Beyond Gender Binaries (1).
Starting with "Metaphorical utilisations of SPACE in non-binary speakers' conceptualisations of GENDER" from Mx Gaul
Quick reminder while speed I need to keep up with talks calms down for a bit:
These #lavLang29 live tweets are the work of the panelists and academics. Anytime I insert my own thoughts I'll be very specific when it's from me.
If you're learning, go check out their work!
Next up #LavLang29, Beyond Gender Binaries part 2!
Part three is on Saturday.
I have to say that I am so thrilled about how much this conference has grown over the years. A number of years ago someone mentioned transmasculine and a lot of people had to be taught what that meant
Hey, I have a few questions about chatGPT that may be important for some articles/talks. If you have the time, pleas check out the thread.
1. when you think of chatGPT which do you think of?
I've made a doc linking to a large number of articles, twitter threads, docs, etc, about the ways Hogwarts Legacy is harmful. I've tried to make sure I credit all creators along with each resource.
Let me know if there are things I should add!

Cow: antisemitism
Well, I was gonna respond to this and then decided not to respond to a bad faith DM.
But I do want to answer this, because I’ve been called antisemitic for this before as well.
Goblins indeed have a long history of lore…that’s antisemitic.
It’s very heartwarming to seeing how many people are planning to raise money for trans charities the weekend Hogwarts Legacy comes out (and of course playing different games)
Please also consider charities that fight antisemitism, and mutual aid for Black and Jewish trans people?
The reason why it’s “antisemitism”, no dash, is because it is a word that explicitly and specifically related to hatred of Jews. When you use “anti-Semitism” that implies that there is a “Semitism.”
To learn more, search “antisemitism vs anti-semitism” for a LOT of articles
fatphobia kills. I need y’all to realize that. fat people go to the doctor and get all their concerns dismissed + are told they just need to lose weight, when there is an actual issue that goes untreated. being skinny means your health issues are actually looked at
