Americans will hike 10 miles through the wilderness while impaled with a steel-tipped hiking pole before they get universal health insurance.

Screenshot of an AP news article Headline: Montana man hikes out of the mountains to get help after he was impaled by a trekking pole Photo: a man standing on a mountain next to a cairn with a steel-tipped hiking pole impaled into his chest area just below his left arm Screenshot of text from the body of the news article that reads “The 44-inch (112-centimeter) steel-tipped pole passed through the flesh beneath Cifaldi's left arm, missing any vital organs, and protruded from his back. After conferring with his friends - and considering the high cost of a helicopter rescue — Cifaldi knew who would save him: himself. "I was like, 'We've got to get off this mountain.!' And they're both like, 'I don't know about that,' Cifaldi said of his friends' initial reaction. "I'm pretty confident this is outside my chest wall. 'Tis but a flesh wound."

I’ve been feeling really anxious all day for no reason. My partner pulls me in for a big hug and says “it’s ok to feel like this even when everything is going well in life. It happens, it’s normal” And guys, I truly got one of the good ones 😭

I'm happy to have contributed a chapter to The Routledge Handbook of Race and Equity in Applied Linguistics: shorturl.at/pqLYX My chapter critically explores whether accent recognition and bias training are truly effective forms of anti-racist listening (and how they can be improved upon).

This is a screenshot of the very first page of the chapter.

I usually avoid naming wild animals, but I’ve been befriending this pair of crows for almost 3 years now and I think it’s about time. I’m leaning towards Bouba and Kiki only because I think I’d be a lot of fun debating which one is which 😆 #linguistics Anyone have any other ideas for cool names?
