Me reading academic papers: incoherent nonsense. Bullshit. I could write better than this in my sleep

which avenger you were really into as a teenager is a far more accurate measure of personality than astrology is. for example, if you liked loki, you’re gay

[straightpeoplereceipts]

thor: sports lesbian or hiking lesbian. you probably have nice hair and trouble expressing your feelings without resorting to speeches. cool flannel

cap: bi… ready to try.. would fight a guy. you probably have a long term best friend you REALLY love. if you’re not dating now, it’s because you’ve done that and decided it was weird, or you’re already married. nice undercut. i imagine you have positive feelings about tattoo chokers or wear a statement jacket (this is, to say, a jacket YOU consider YOUR statement jacket)

tony: please put down the coffee. you either have impressive photoshop skills & a singular determination see this franchise to its demise, or have jumped ship but hold a lingering bitter urge to defend tony stark to the death. you aggressively cut the shirts and collars off all your t-shirts. i am TERRIFIED of you

natasha: you dislike marvel & gave up after aggressively pirating every black widow comic only to discover they’re all misogyny-ridden. you’re majoring in english. your blog consists entirely of original posts where you joke around with your extensive list of long distance long term friends, & poetry. your title & description are probably ominous quotes

hawkeye: you suggest everyone reads matt fraction’s hawkeye. if you have moved past coffee, this is temporary or because you now take caffeine pills. if you don’t have a dog, this is because your friend’s dog now considers you its primary caretaker. bad at responding to texts. you cut & dye your own hair. your pajama pants are a statement piece

banner: superhero movies tire you. your wardrobe is a rotation of cardigans. you probably have joint issues and are prone to greying at nineteen. your friends keep dragging you to these movies even though you all know you’ll just be disappointed. you probably like cats. you are undoubtedly gay

loki: you are either gay or unfortunate

Reptilicus Photograph by Big Year Colorado

Hey’o y’all, I have a family member who’s been going through some struggles lately and she was hoping I could pass on her art page in case anyone wanted some (pretty good I’d say) photography for themselves or holiday presents or what not. Pretty affordable prices actually, and definitely some cool images on there for those who like the Western/Colorado aesthetic. Here’s the link for the general page (not just this lizard pic I liked lol):  (pretty good I’d say) She also has a GoFundMe I can link ppl too if they’d rather donate to someone directly.

The Duolingo Owl:

[allthingslinguistic]

It is a well-documented fact that by the age of 5 monolingual White children will have heard 30 million fewer words in languages other than English than bilingual children of color. In addition, they will have had a complete lack of exposure to the richness of non-standardized varieties of English that characterize the homes of many children of color. This language gap increases the longer these children are in school. The question is what causes this language gap and what can be done to address it? The major cause of this language gap is the failure of monolingual White communities to successfully assimilate into the multilingual and multidialectal mainstream. The continued existence of White ethnic enclaves persists despite concerted efforts to integrate White communities into the multiracial mainstream since the 1960s. In these linguistically isolated enclaves it is possible to go for days without interacting with anybody who does not speak Standardized American English providing little incentive for their inhabitants to adapt to the multilingual and multidialectal nature of  US society. This linguistic isolation has a detrimental effect on the cognitive development of monolingual White children. This is because linguistically isolated households lack the rich translanguaging practices that are found in bilingual households and the elaborate style-shifting that occurs in bidialectal households. This leaves monolingual White children without a strong metalinguistic basis for language learning. As a result, many of these monolingual White children lack the school-readiness skills needed for foreign language learning and graduate from school having mastered nothing but Standardized American English leaving them ill-equipped to engage in intercultural communication.

What if we talked about monolingual White children the way we talk about low-income children of color?

Excerpt from a satirical blog post from The Educational Linguist that makes a good point about which language skills we value as a society and the problems with talking about a “language gap”.
