I'm very excited that Lauren's gesture book is finally out!
It's the intro to Gesture Studies that I wish I'd had in 2017 when I suddenly realized I needed to get up to speed on the gesture research for Because Internet and I hope it brings joy to students, researchers, and autodidacts!

It's publication day for Gesture: A Slim Guide
If you have been wanting to think about gesture in your own research, bring it into your teaching or connect with the field of Gesture Studies, this is for you. It's under 50k words and has a nifty glossary too.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

The APA is coming out SWINGING, utterly rejecting the stigma and misinformation around trans healthcare, calling for a total repeal of all anti-trans healthcare bills, & going for the throat of transphobic lies!
I know it's not the same as gov't policy, but this is still great.

We’ve memory holed the fact that the worst, most active domestic terrorists over the past 40 years are anti-abortion activists.
An explosive device was detonated Saturday outside the Alabama attorney general’s office in Montgomery, Steve Marshall, the attorney general, said. No one was injured in the explosion, which happened a day after Marshall said he would not prosecute IVF providers or families seeking the treatment.

Amazingly, if you are prepared to invest in lying to your own doctor for nearly a year, they will attempt to provide treatment for the symptoms you claim to be experiencing. Shocking. Imagine she’d put half that effort into trying to repair her relationship with her estranged son.
Here we have a 53-year-old woman who is so consumed with hatred for her trans kid that she pretends to be nonbinary to show the world how quickly you can get hormones and surgery.
It takes 10 months just to get a referral.
