Another lovely Labov obit by @betsysneller.bsky.social @laurelmack.bsky.social and Meredith Tamminga. This one takes a birds eye view of how Labov has contributed to where the field is going, which is a nice forward-looking complement to Eckert's obit onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New on the blog: Oxford University Press is going all-in on surveillance capitalism

Turns out they don't trust authors with offprints anymore, citing "piracy" concerns, and would rather you didn't share your work at all where they can't track it

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

An unusual item has come into my collection, Mister Black’s Secret by Catherine Barr. At first it seems like an early example of ‘I can has cheezburger” speech but it was actually written in a shortlived teaching alphabet called ITA.
Page from a children’s book. There is an illustration of a black cat peeling around a piece of wood. Text reads “Mister black, the cat, peered around the corner. On the porch a stranger was eating the food put there for mister black by his family.” but the spellings are sometimes phonetic and use strange characters other than those of the standard Latin alphabet.

i'm developing an appreciation for imagining and feeling threads that connect seemingly discrete movements that feel connected. like when i run my finger along a roll of tape, i can't see the seam, but i can obviously feel it. my inability to see it doesn't make me say "well it must not be there".
