Hvis det finnes en gud sender Liv Signe Navarsete en sms til Ola Borten Moe i kveld med følgende tekst: «Eg har lyst på krigsprofitto di».

"Det er en situasjon ingen statsråd noensinne har lyst til å havne i, men her er altså jeg" ... Havnet i?!? Dette gjorde han selv. #notrocketscience nrk.no/norge/ola-bort…

@VeronikaKoller @LukeCCollins Dear Veronika: This will end, and you will see the actual books...and so will we :-)

Today, I am working on the first proofs for one book (Viral Language, with @LukeCCollins) and the third (and final!) proofs for another (Voices of Supporters (with benjamins.com/catalog/dapsac…). Please tell me that this will end and I will see the actual books.

What are the most pressing challenges in metaphor research (as of today)? @NinaJulich and I invited colleagues to reflect on this - check our hot off the press special issue for Metaphor and the Social World @johnbenjamins benjamins.com/catalog/msw.13… See 🧵 below for a taster

@ksenijabogetic My pleasure. And thanks to all of you! Great article!

Freshly out: our metaphor perspective on the language of the manosphere. Thanks Metaphor and the Social World and @NaceySusan for a super-smooth publishing experience

@mdportorequejo @RaAMconf @RaAM_org It was a great conference! Thanks for all your hard work in making it happen.

Hey RaAMmers! I got up this morning (after a long, long sleep) and I already miss you. You are great people 😍. Proud and happy to have reunited the family. See you in RaAM 17… across the ocean!! @RaAMconf @RaAM_org #RaAM16

Favorite line heard @RaAMconf so far, from @MicheleMannoni’s paper about personification & the human-bond connection: “Cats don’t really kiss. Cats don’t have lips.” @RaAM_org #metaphor 💋

@jelenaoreilly @professor_dave My colleague was once interviewed about her 6-month volunteer work teaching English in Papua New Guinea. The resulting article focused on how her husband would be home, taking care of their 5 kids (3 already grown): Man takes care of own children = Newsflash

@professor_dave Thanks for saying this! People are constantly amazed that my husband has such an active role in raising our child. While he is great and deserves praise, as you say it’s called being a father.

Real men play an active role in raising their kids - maybe even the primary role. It's simply called being a father.

How do people unfamiliar with Orwell interpret this political cartoon? Enjoying David Ritchie’s talk about satire & metaphor @RaAMconf @RaAM_org

Excellent presentation @RaAMconf by @juste_urbonaite: learned loads about multilayered modal metaphor. Added benefit: may never have bloating again! @RaAM_org #metaphor
