I read Sky Daddy by Kate Folk for a book club recently, and it was one of those books that is going to live in my brain for years

Anecdotally, my introduction to Discworld was Monstrous Regiment, and I think it's a really good option

Wow, a really unfortunate number of replies here from people who got 2/3 of the way through the name and decided OP was Hakeem Jefferies...

What if leech but also hammer head but also moray eel??

(Caveat that research articles on this are often positioned from deficit model / medical model of disability. Also this was me doing a quick literature scan, I'm not an expert on this side of linguistics!)

E.g., one of the articles mentions that individuals with ASD can have greater discrimination of pitch outside of a language context, while lower discrimination of tonal categories

For child language acquisition, it looks like researchers have found atypical patterns in both perception and production of tone. But (this is a bit of my own intuition) it's possible this is a manifestation of something broader about acquisition of phonology, not specific to tone...

I think "likely" is modifying "race" there - acknowledging that the race data in their modeling is asleep estimated I guess? The wording is very awkward 😅

Yeah I have to assume that "Likely race in major urban areas plays a major role in that modeling." is doing a LOT of work in their methods (independentvoterproject.org/voter-stats/tx). Primary turnout is low and usually twice as many Rs as Ds

I was floored just by the silhouette, but then THE DIVE!!
