I made a short list of books that most challenge myths about about gender and sex for @Shepherd_books . Check it out: shepherd.com/best-books/chal…
Best explanation I've seen in the genre of "why do people feel so bad about economy when it is 'objectively' good?" open.substack.com/pub/lyz/p/…

"We should be concerned about an educator turning to generative AI to help with their workload by offloading tasks because doing so does nothing to address the underlying material conditions that caused the teacher to turn to AI in the first place."

This is a crime. Bob Errey's enthusiasm for the game is infectious. Might be tuning out in the future 😥

This guy gets everything backwards. The correct change is to permanently end daylight saving time.
Texas House votes to permanently stay on daylight saving time.
I STRONGLY support this.

So responses to the 'new' dude survey (pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…) have been interesting and point to some of the limitations and pitfalls of doing a survey for language use (or really anything) & sociolinguistic methods generally. [A thread best read after taking the survey.] 1/15
Prof. Ralph Fasold taught me 30 years ago, and I have often repeated: Quantitative data always begins with qualitative decisions about how to categorize, what to categorize, and how to measure and count. Quantitative data rests on qualitative decisions. 14/15
No survey, or quantitative analysis, can capture all the particularities and experience of everyone. This is why we need qualitative analysis as well, and arguably a hazard of modern existence: alexmurrell.co.uk/articles/t… 15/15
