ALT IPA character of the week: [ɰ]. Sure! Because [ɯ] is to [ɰ] as [u] is to … [w]? No, wait: [ɰ] is to [ɥ] as [ɯ] is to … [y]? Heck, why not just say that [ɥ] is to [h] as [ɰ] is to … what, even?! Are you punking me, IPA?

Trying something different: I'm adding the description as alt text for the images, rather than in the body of the tweet, for these ones. Don't know if taking a picture actually helps. It seems more personal somehow. Feedback welcome.

We condemn the ON Gov’s Bill 28, which has violated 55,000 CUPE members’ rights to collective bargaining and to strike. We join @CAUT_ACPPU, and voices in the broader labour movement across Canada, in denouncing these actions. caut.ca/node/12139

IPA character of the week: [ɞ] open-mid central rounded vowel.
In a previous century, this could have been an emoticon for a heart. Too bad we have a whole new typographical technology to make it obsolete! 💔

Last year a paper in ASHA Perspectives motivated me, @phonotactician Alayo Tripp and Ben Munson to call out sexist linguistic discrimination.
Our paper is published here open-access:
pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…
... along with a response from the original authors taking accountability

IPA char of the week: [p'] ejective bilabial plosive
No, we don't spit every time we make an ejective & no, that diacritic doesn't depict droplets flying through the air. We're professionals here! We'd never lower ourselves to that lvl!
