made this in a panic.

for ep 200 of lateral, we need to have all 3 answer in progress members, all 3 let's learn everything members, and all 3 jet lag the game members against tom, on a team with bill and dani, making it a 3v3v3v3. for ep 100 we got one more guest than usual so i think this is plausible. the questions are also all by dan peake.

You, the Mini genus and your tumblr were mentioned in the new Let's Learn Everything podcast episode by Gretchen McCullen! That was really sweet :)

I was so thrilled to hear about this, and then of course went and listened to the episode. Gretchen is just great, and that's a phenomenal episode. I learned a lot! I'm a big fan of the @Lingthusiasm podcast as well, and have been listening for years. Part of my Tolkein and Taxonomy obsession is a love of language and words (see also: my love of puns), and I often say that linguistics would have been my alternate career path, had I somehow not been able to pursue evolutionary biology and herpetology.

Bonus 94: Metaphors be with you! Lingthusiasm x Let's Learn Everything crossover episode

Let's Learn Everything is a podcast whose hosts take on their ambitious mission with infectious energy. Last month, we got to sit down for a Lingthusiasm crossover on Let's Learn Everything, where Gretchen talked about why science uses so much Latin, the quest for sarcasm punctuation, the origin of writing, and so much more, and we had so much fun that we kept the mic on and recorded a bonus episode with some extra questions we didn't get to.

In this bonus episode, Gretchen gets enthusiastic about science metaphors and learning everything with Tom Lum and Caroline Roper, cohosts of Let's Learn Everything! We talk about whether programming languages should count as a language credit, numbers and ritual stock phrases like seventeen and "once upon a time", as well as etymology and metaphor in ecology, chemistry, and linguistics. We also talk about turning the "constantly trying to figure things out" part of your brain off, attending the word of the year vote, and how linguists have a tendency to be curious about language all the time, which... sometimes gets us into trouble.

is the wabbit tablet cheating? i have the physical items as well. it's so simple. the teaching interaction gets their relationship up.

i use things to make it harder to get for kids to have good stats and it's always in the red. i can get 1 or 2. but not all of them.
