#cadaad2026 The place where I stand today @cadaad2026.bsky.social has been reached by countless others before me, and many more will follow. I leave feeling like a single drop in an immense ocean of knowledge, yet perhaps even a drop can catch and reflect the sunlight ☀️

A high-profile queer moment at #cadaad2026: @nounfraze.bsky.social (introduced by Alba Roldan Garcia) presenting his/their work for @amnestyuk.bsky.social on how trans people were represented in the British press 2020-25

The third of the Glorious 3 (my students at #cadaad2026): @tianxin.bsky.social on discourses of voluntary childlessness on Chinese social media. My work here is done 😊

A fascinating presentation by @instantlinguist.bsky.social looking at how Chinese food was represented by the UK press in the post-COVID period. #CADS2026

Final plenary at #CADS2026: Brian King takes us on a delightful journey through our history of analysing interaction in online corpora, with a look towards the future (also I learnt a new word: "vicennial")

Happy to present my PhD research at #CADS2026 today. A few years ago, I was sitting in the audience taking notes. Today, I had the chance to stand at the front and share my own research. Feeling grateful for how far this journey has taken me.

I really enjoyed sharing the session with Dr Kania and learned a great deal from her presentation, both in terms of content and her engaging presentation style.

Thanks so much for all the questions/feedback on my talk - #CADS2026 people are the best! Bonus: inspiring talks by @amandapotts.bsky.social @eugeniedugoua.bsky.social and @tianxin.bsky.social in the same session (co-author shoutout: @sofialampro.bsky.social @annaritamagliacane.bsky.social)

Hashtag to follow this week is #CADS2026, for the Corpora and Discourse conference in Lancaster. @mantrap.bsky.social have a paper, on mainstreaming 'misandry', but sadly I still cannot be in two places at once 🤷🏼‍♀️ Have a great time, everyone!

Next Monday (9 March) at 3pm GMT, my student Tianxin Li will give a talk at @lancslinguistics.bsky.social, on #multimodal discourses of voluntary #childlessness on Chinese social media. The talk is in person and on Teams: shorturl.at/2Wgi8
