All in all, a very awesome first day of LingComm25.
At #LingComm25 lightning talks. Very cool so far - haven't live, er, "skeeted" so far but parking the cool site of the gaming+linguistics website (thanks to Pascal Wagner). A niche I'm definitely interested in.

If you're headed to my poster with @betsysneller.bsky.social and @jackrechsteiner.bsky.social at #LingComm25, sorry I'm not there yet! Having some tech issues (on my side, not the conference's).

Really loving how different people at #lingcomm25 are framing different motivations for #lingcomm/#scicomm and the focus on conceptualising larger impacts and outcomes, not just focusing on output.

I'll be giving a talk all about leveraging lingcomm clout in academia. It will be very late at night for me so chances are it is going to be ~very unfiltered opinions. The rest of the program is looking fabulous! I hope to see you there!

I'm attending the games session at the same time #LingComm25 since I've already written a pop linguistics book 😅
But here's my advice blogpost for anyone who wants my thoughts, and I also recommend @katemckean.bsky.social's upcoming book Write Through It

By the way, if anyone wants to have an informal coffee-style chat at #LingComm25 and doesn't quite have enough time between the sessions, I'm planning on hanging out in the gather space after the conference today so feel free to come up to me and say hi! (Alas, I can't promise you stickers like irl)

Many people in the chat saying they love using examples instead in linguistics
