@artistzoe.bsky.socialNormal person who can't sleep: "Guess I'll take some melatonin."
Me, when I can't sleep: "Guess I'll work on teaching myself Arabic by taking university level notes on as many Arabic ASMR videos as I can find."
Thanks to all ASMRtists!!! ๐
@agathodamon.bsky.socialPeople often finish each other's sentences before either has a clear proposition in mind. Coordination first; meaning later.
Have you caught yourself agreeing with someone before you knew what you were agreeing to?

If credible information is going to compete for attention online, do we need to pay much more attention to the language communities already use to make sense of their world?

@janienesbittjones.bsky.socialWednesday is named after the Germanic god Woden & also represents the Norse god Odin. We started calling it โhump dayโ in the mid-1900s. Statistically, bosses are more likely to grant requests from their employees on Wednesdays. #derivation #linguistics
@fbisnath.bsky.socialme looking at the same data with someone who does elicitation a lot
them: we should ask about this!
