Just realized I was so excited to give the opening keynote for #LingComm23 next week that I'd neglected to actually, you know, register for the actual conference

So that's fixed now!

If you're also someone who does lingcomm and hasn't registered yet, you can fix that here:

This is also your conference reminder that I'm faceblind and might not remember what you look like, please wear your nametag and remind me if we've met!

Dropped by Boulder Books with @janellecshane, browsed a delightful selection, left some signed copies of our books!

One of the fun things about travelling between linguist clusters, for me, is cross-pollinating ideas between groups of linguists that have worked well in one area

Which is also to say, if you've got buckets of undergrads pouring in, I'd love to know & share how you're doing it!

The advice post also now contains, in addition to more strategies than any one person can expect to implement (it's okay, this is a menu!), some thoughts on strategies that might be less effective, so you can stop feeling guilty about not doing them!

I've updated my advice post for the admittedly rather niche audience of "so you're a linguistics prof and you really need to get more students enrolled in your intro course/major and you want a menu of strategies that have worked for other departments"

Brought to you by looking up my initials in the Auslan manual alphabet and being like "oh, yup, I'm getting a weak colour association here like I...apparently already have for the ASL manual alphabet and just hadn't thought about consciously, huh"

(Note that I have grapheme-colour synesthesia)

Today's random thought: does anyone know of research on the intersection of signed languages and synesthesia?

@lingthusiasm okay, second point: I would like to see this list of followers in a format where I do not have to separately sign in for each new instance I want to follow people in or copy-paste names into a search field (that's tedious!), so the web interface does not fit my needs

When someone is already in my notifications I can just follow them with one click even if they're on a different instance
