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.

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!
