academia, linguistics 

Y’all I would LOVE to connect with other people studying/involved in linguistics. I’m going into my senior year of my BA in applied linguistics. I’d like to study sociolinguistics and phonetics in grad school and it seems like CSU Long Beach or Northridge are the best options for me. If u know of other similar MA programs I should check out let me know. Also looking for any general advice for how to go forward post-undergrad in this domain.

“A survivalist?!? Holy shit! I’d be useless in an apocalypse!” Says the millennial whose entire pantry is homemade pickles

for work i had to take a screenshot of some video clip playing out with captions to attach to a new test case and i accidentally invented a new reaction image

Millennials be like “oh god I’m so useless, anyway here’s a whole-ass blanket I knitted”

covid, libraries 

like i'm definitely not saying they should stay open at The Risk Of Lives it's just mind boggling to me that golf courses are allowed to run and libraries aren't u kno. feels a little late stage capitalism dystopian american hellscape

covid, libraries, abuse ment 

-a place people (children, ppl being abused, etc) can somewhat anonymously access information and resources they might not be able to @ home
-good (free!! free this is so important that It's Free) general stopping point for all sorts of emergencies bc they have electrical outlets, seating, public bathrooms, etc

covid, libraries 

"libraries are very good but are they really essential in the short term??"
-are one of the Very Few indoor places houseless people can hangout for free
-similarly, a safe place for minors to spend time unattended if for some reason they can't be at home or with their guardians
-free internet and printers for the not insignificance portion of people who don't have access to those things, which are like, Wildly Essential to live

covid 

can't quite describe how bristlingly angry it makes me to see the government open up businesses during covid but Not open up government organizations and offices etc
