@christapeterso So is the argument that the word "trans" works like "drag" insofar as drag queens are not a subset of queens but a totally different thing? So they're not arguing about the meaning of "woman" but the meaning of "trans," I guess. Ugh

philosophers are like “questions about gender categories are apt for our particular skill set” and then philosophers talking about gender categories are like this, inexplicably,

saw an ad for Neutrogena and my brain parsed it as Neurodivergent

just typoed "assessed for tenure" as "arrested for tenure"

@TwitterAPI You got 30 days to wrap up whatever you've been gathering and grab all the data you might need, because afterwards it'll be a very expensive drip feed. twitter.com/TwitterDev/sta…

The -er in “Jennifer” should be an agentive suffix

@cgpu_uaw Hey, I'm a former Caltech undergrad and current member of Northwestern's grad student union - would it be helpful to get signatures from outside Caltech on the petition? If so, if you're willing to share the link, I'd be happy to forward it on to my union and others

An international @BMBCaltech graduate student has been UNFAIRLY TERMINATED after reporting years of abuse, harassment, discrimination, & research misconduct of their PI. Over 400 @Caltech students have signed a petition to demand the REINSTATEMENT of this graduate student.

oh no who gave torches to cats

Excellent metathesis from this week: "Northern Shitties Vowel Sift"

@aliciaandrz I really like that the undergrad class I'm TAing for this term has students write positionality statements reflecting on how their positionality might affect their data collection/analysis. Important to start early, especially bc many students stated that they had no bias.

I think often about the illusion of "objective" scholarly writing. The best & most rigorous scholarly work, for me, does not erase the writer's motives, investments, or voice; the writer grapples with these biases explicitly, so readers know they've done the work #AcademicTwitter

life hack: let people know when they have made a positive impact on you

transpose a matrix? trans? pose? THE MATRIX??? the gay agenda has gone too far

the Priming Directive is when linguists are forbidden from interfering with the normal development of a participant before the experiment

@BayesForDays API? I hardly knew I

@katiedimartin I think people are just grasping at straws to get people's attention somehow, because it does feel like those of us who are higher risk have been essentially abandoned. I'd love if there were a way to actually get air filtration/purification implemented in buildings instead.

@ilgeneralissimo I bet you'll knock that dissertation out of the park

Today I learned that apparently "social-emotional learning" is the new thing that right-wingers are claiming is horrible indoctrination of their children in schools. You know, the thing that teachers use to teach kids to share, or to process feelings without yelling or hitting.
