One of the most thoughtful (and hilariously fun!) gifts our amazing realtor gave us after helping us find our dream home was this perfectly fitting doormat:
“Shalom, y’all!” 😄❤️🏡

It’s the ultimate blend of cultures:
🕊️ Shalom – Hebrew for peace, hello, and goodbye
🤠 Y’all – Classic Southern slang for you all

Only in the South would a doormat greet you with Hebrew and Southern hospitality.
It’s so me—a Southern home, Israeli heart, and a whole lotta love.

My Uni is hosting a huuuuge statewide language conference (like, so many presentations you literally cannot attend them all) and it's also going to be livestreamed AND it's free for Uni staff to attend even if we don't work in the language departments AND apparently there is a whole sub-track one day that discusses Eurovision?!?

I'M GONNA GET MY LANGUAGE NERD ON, HELL YEAH!!!

“If you've heard ‘goblin mode’ or ‘swiftie’ lately, it’s thanks to them: Young girls are more innovative with language than any other group, linguists say.”

It's funny how saying someone from my uni is a memeber of the "União da Juventude Comumista" feels natural but saying that they are member of the "Communist Youth Union" feels commie and soviet-y.

Curiously, I haven't found anyone talking about or interested in #linguisticanthropology. Are there others like me hiding in their caves and waiting for #linguisticanthropologists to show up?
