linguistics and language tech, animals, voting rights, climate. Big old nope to fascism & white supremacy. Side gig sorta in community lead language tech for indigenous languages. I'm not a great coder but I'm learning. #fedi22 #linguistics #languageTech #dogs #horses #animals #IndigenousLanguages #mushing #uglyDogs I love your #pets and #naturePhotos and I always want to learn about your #animals

Really pleased that I get to join the #lingolol instance and ease the load a smidge on the giant #mastodon.social. So appreciative of the #serverAdmins and all the #volunteers running this thing. Gotta make sure I do this #migration correctly as I don't wanna lose any new #friends
It occurs to me that academic institutions could set up Mastadon servers as a communication conduit at the service of their constituents. In doing so, they would likely give a significant boost to ongoing efforts that aim for a decentralized scholarly communication ecology by familiarizing users with the possibility and benefits of decentralized approaches.

Important tusk news of a different variety: the oldest sentence in alphabetical writing has been discovered on a 3700 y.o. ivory comb, an invocation against lice! From the New York Times. #archaeology #writing #histodons #history

You know what this place needs, as there are already lots of #cats & #dogs ?

DONKEYS!

Meet ⚡ Tonnerre & Alba!

Tonnerre can be pretty stoic, nice but he will move at his pace.
Alba will follow you everywhere and be 600% playful & bity, that's how they play! She's like a giant spunky curious labrador, younger sibling w/ no concept of personal space.

Always great to see them back in the #countryside .

For anyone wondering, this is Hewitt (RIP), our little hero who actually scared off the burglar despite Nala’s efforts to the contrary. He was an excellent protector & one of the most intelligent dogs I’ve ever met.
@hyldaco @amyfou Heh our springer once hid under the bed while burglars went through the house (and so he should have), and our Labrador once excitedly brought toys for someone who wandered into our house by accident (it was a medical episode, but as far as he was concerned it COULD have been a burglar).
@amyfou She is! She’s very sweet :) Thankfully my other dog prevented the burglar from actually entering (she only managed to open the door) & protected all of us. Nala just isn’t cut out to be a guard dog; her lot in life is to spread love & copious amounts of shed fur wherever she goes.
