Documented publication number 255 is confirmed, my short essay "What Intelligence and Genius Actually Are."

And ... academic life goes on: in the discipline of bilingual education, Google Scholar counted these as citation number 615 of mine, in the abstract and methods sections of a paper by University of Valencia authors: "Data were collected by means of a questionnaire adapted from McCarty (2012a; 2012b)."

From @EmmettMacfarlane [#Pollievre] "is promising to ‘end #woke ideology’, [and] to protect the #French language and promote #Quebec culture.

"Has it occurred to anyone that these two promises are diametrically opposed? What is official #bilingualism policy and employment and promotion rules and practices of the federal public service if not #DEI for #francophones?

"Why is ‘woke ideology’ okay [for] francophones but not okay [for] race or gender identity?"

Pierre Poilievre actually likes 'woke ideology', when it gets him votes

Commentators have rightly voiced alarm at Pierre Poilievre’s promise to ‘end woke ideology’.

I'm visiting my Mom in #Ottawa this weekend. Her MP has been handing out flag posters sporting the slogans "Strong and Free / Fort et Libre" and while I understand that "Il sait porter la croix" probably doesn't fit exactly, was a direct #translation the best move?

Je suis bilingue 🇫🇷 🇪🇸, j'ai en permanence 2 langues, 2 cultures et j'ai élevé mes enfants dans cette double appartenance alors que je suis née dans une famille, un village, une communauté 100% françaises. Et toi ? Est-ce que tu ressens l'appartenance à une autre langue et un autre pays que ta/tes langues et pays de naissance ?

Can't get it to bluetooth pair with my phone. Oops.

I am still looking forward to seeing how well it handles #bilingualism (#English and #Japanese).

I was filling out a survey when I encountered this question: "Is English the language you're most comfortable reading in?" I said yes, but it really depends on the genre/content. For example, I'm more comfortable reading manga in Japanese.
