Love the relational approach! I truly believe language learning is an important way to demonstrate respect to people. My Hindi teacher is also based in India, which makes for really fun class times given the 10.5/11.5 hour time difference🤧 #literacies

I love this question! Because I am particularly interested in multimodal #literacies, I am also thinking about languaging practices broadly - writing about playful interactions with children in a dissertation format has been its own challenge of translation. #literacies

Q2: What communities, spaces, or places do your languaging practices reflect? #literacies

This is really important and a reminder how languaging is political and contextual. And navigating all of it can be a lot of work based on our various positions. #literacies

Q2 coming up in 1 min... #literacies

Yes! How we language is so situated by context and audience. #literacies

I have a teacher who is a community-based educator in Yucatán. I started with a desire to learn basic things like hello (bix a beel) and thank you (dios bo otik) for when I visit my research site but I've continued learning #literacies

This reminds me of the part of translanguaging that acknowledges that we all draw from a variety of linguistic repertoires all the time given the context! #literacies

That's so wonderful! How are you learning Maya Yucateco? #literacies

Thank you! It almost feels like, what isn't languagung, you know? #literacies

A1: This question makes me think about languaging practices broadly (e.g., I read, I write...) and at a more specific level too! Something I've been thinking about a lot recently is how I language my work as I apply for jobs and how my language is responsive to different job calls. #literacies

I love this connection to languaging as method! #literacies

A1: I am a proud multilingual. I move fluidly move back and forth from English, Spanish, Spanglish in my life as a mom, scholar, and community member. I am also challenging myself to learn Maya Yucateco, which has been fun, but challenging! #literacies

A1: Trying to navigate my languaging shifts well while simultaneously continuing to read the sociopolitical moves interactionally made by others has become frustratingly difficult for my PTSD brain. I am very much still figuring out my new capacities. (3/3) #literacies

A1: Whether I am wife, friend, student, teacher, peer, subordinate, authority, etc. (or, more often, some combination), the ways I use and interpret language shift. This used to feel as natural as breathing, however... #literacies (2/3)

A1: My languaging practices have felt particularly tied to whatever role I am in, particularly as of late. The way I make meaning has felt so intimately tied to the position I am in (or placed in) in a given interaction... #literacies (1/3)

A1 1/2: Dissertating (especially with a critical discourse analysis method) means I am thinking and processing language all day every day. English, Hindi, and some Spanish are the (socially recognized) languages I draw upon the most in my language repertoire, however! #literacies

Q1: What languaging practices are part of your everyday life? #literacies

Yes!! This Bluesky team is amazing! #literacies
