It makes me mad that we've got all these incredible PhDs with important work to do to make our world better but instead of doing it they're stuck chasing meaningless metrics, getting paid peanuts, and putting up with toxic colleagues nobody will ever do anything about! 😩

Profesional linguists don't fully know how language learning fully works yet but YouTube polyglots have it all figured out!

asking children to speak in 'standard' or 'academic' language often gets framed as a social justice effort helping children to acquire and master dominant forms. yet this vision of justice focuses on changing individual behaviours as opposed to systemic, transformational change.

😡 major manuscript rejection today. Second time this journal has rejected post review without option for revision when they are overwhelmingly positive reviews. Frustrated. 3 months down the drain.

Important to post the reality of rejections, not just good news!

Language is not just a “code”, “hobby”, or “skill”.
Language is also about values, knowledges, and a way of seeing and relating to the world.
