Hey book community friends, new reading challenge just dropped! ☺️ The recs span from academic (mine is "Doing Digital Migration Studies", - amazing but not quite a bedside table read 😁) all the way to fantasy novels (@brynnquick.bsky.social rec'd The Winternight Trilogy 😍😍). Something for everyone!

Policies increasingly acknowledge multilingual realities but neglect to imagine the language work that is involved and how to build it into workflows in healthcare and elsewhere, as this new article by @brynnquick.bsky.social etal shows Behind paywall until Jan & OA afterwards

*nods in sociolinguist*: LOUDER for those in the back! This has been happening for generations - It's not Millennial / Gen Z / Gen Alpha slang - it's AAVE / AAE. (and for anyone interested in sociolinguistics of AAE who isn't already following @mixedlinguist.bsky.social, you should)

🎃 Imani Gandy Corn 🎃@angryblacklady.blacksky.app

"Bruh" is NOT Gen Alpha slang. It's AAVE. Almost every example of Gen Alpha or Gen Z slang has its origins in AAVE. One day I'll stop being annoyed about it, but that day apparently is not today. www.npr.org/2025/06/25/n...

Saw a sign at a protest today in Pasadena that made me want to cry. These are the kids the government is terrorizing. “Para mi padre que llegó sin nada y me dió todo”. “For my father who came with nothing and gave me everything”.

The world feels (is) unhinged, and I’m glad we’re acknowledging that in our word choices.

Lauren Gawne@superlinguo.bsky.social

I've noticed 'unhinged' in my own lexicon and around me a lot in the last month or so, but apparently this is something that's been building for a couple of decades and only now hitting my perceptual filter.

I was SO thrilled to be able to speak with @mixedlinguist.bsky.social Dr. Nicole Holliday about her research into linguistic identities for this @languageonthemove.bsky.social @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social podcast episode!

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
