TL;DR: We're looking for English-speaking neopronoun users (aged 18+) to participate in a paid linguistics study.

Hello!

Professor Kirby Conrod from Swarthmore College is recruiting participants for a paid interview study (in-person in Philly or on zoom). Anyone who uses neopronouns for themself, is 18 or older, and is fluent in English is welcome to participate. The study will consist of a casual interview between you and a researcher, a similar interview with a friend of yours, and an exit survey for each of you. Each will receive $15 as compensation for their time.

If you're interested in participating, please fill out this form: (https://forms.gle/YajpkjxGYiwL7RLF6). Filling out this form does not require you to participate; it's just an expression of interest.

Even on Tumblr, neopronoun use is relatively uncommon, so it would be very helpful if folks could reblog this post to help it reach as many neopronoun users as possible.

Dream Canyon (de ParisDude)

Synopsis Un soir de pluie, au hasard des rues du onzième arrondissement de Paris, Léo obéit à ses pulsions et découvre une étrange arrière-cour festive qui porte le nom d’éternel retour. Dans un dédale de vieux couloirs et sous l’influence d’une boisson dont il ignore la composition, on lui fait prendre conscience dans ses lieux d’un nouveau potentiel, on lui confie une mission dont il ignore le…

The goal of any of this is to chase good feelings, and notice bad feelings with a curious mindset. Trying stuff out to see how it feels means you should pay attention to how it feels, and ask what that feeling tells you.

the three linguistics papers to read about singular they (morphosyntax)

Bjorkman, B. M. (2017). Singular they and the syntactic representation of gender in English. Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, 2(1). Open access link

Konnelly, L., & Cowper, E. (2020). Gender diversity and morphosyntax: An account of singular they. Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, 5(1). open access link

Conrod, K. (2022). Abolishing gender on D. Canadian Journal of Linguistics/Revue canadienne de linguistique, 67(3), 216-241. Open access link

in chronological order because these papers are all basically responding to each other; this papers focus on the (morpho)syntax and semantics of english singular 'they' referring to specific people (like they/them pronoun-users).

if you like posts like this, let me know! i'll give "three linguistics papers to read about (topic)" every once in a while based on interest

Mavrik!! Also known as Alternia's Best Tracker, Mav is a kind and rather overworked soul. He is a bit of a worrywart when it comes to his crew. Despite there being no actual records of a Mavrik Conrod existing before entering the Fleet, his exemplary performance keeps anyone from digging any deeper.

Chrysler 340 Six Pack!

This engine design was guided by none other than Tom Hoover, later known as ‘the father of the Hemi’. For 1970, as delivered in AAR Cuda and Dodge Challenger T/A for use in the SCCA Trans-Am Racing Series, the factory stock Six Pack 340 engine was a well-optioned animal straight out of the box. It meant business, leaving plenty of scope for modifications allowed within the racing regulations that would help it thrive in a Trans Am racing environment. There was no stone unturned, starting with a high nickel stress-relieved engine block, utilising thicker webbing in the pan rails and other areas to allow the option of installing four bolt main caps on 2,3 and 4. High-performance ‘J’ casting cylinder heads were utilised along with large diameter valves, working in tandem with a unique rocker arm/shaft/pushrod assembly. Within this cylinder head design, the pushrod holes were offset to allow more material for oversized porting on the intake runners. Forged crankshaft, heavy-duty conrods and high-performance pistons. A windage tray was also featured. A healthy 10.5 to 1 compression ratio complemented an aggressive 276/284 duration camshaft driven by a dual-row timing chain and the fire in the combustion chamber was ignited by dual points ignition with the spent gasses exiting through a free-flowing exhaust system.

One highlight of this engine combination was the Six Pack (or 6 barrel) carb set-up, running a trio of two-barrel Holleys sitting on top of a factory-fitted Edelbrock intake manifold. A 375 cfm centre carb acted as a primary, then at a given throttle percentage, the two 500 cfm outer carbs would open up and join the party to provide a whopping total of 1375 cfm in total air flow, along with an induction howl you’d never forget.

The factory officially rated the engine at 290hp and 345ft/lbs of torque. The consensus is that it produced at least 330hp, particularly when you consider its claimed 14.4 second quarter-mile capability and 5.8 sec 0-to-60 mph times in a 3500 pound car. In race spec, the engine was de-stroked to just under the Trans-Am regulations 305cu limit and during the development phase across its racing lifespan, was rumoured to have produced between 460 and 500hp.

Today on BikeBound.com: 1700cc Single! “Hackel-Wright” chopper by @alhackel, built around a single jug off a 975 c.i. (~16,000cc) Wright R975-46 9-cylinder air-cooled radial helicopter engine! This was the ultimate refinement of the Wright-designed, Continental-built 975 Whirlwind engine that powered the Sherman tank, Beechcraft Staggerwing, Curtiss Sparrowhawk, UH-25 Army Mule, and much more. @alhackel originally planned to build a Knucklehead till he learned what that would cost. “I found the [Wright] cylinder head on ebay and thought it was pretty neat looking so I decided to build a motor around it.” Al had to make a custom case, conrod, and 5-piece crankshaft for the engine. Justin Leineweber (@leinewebercambuilds) ground the custom cam and @maritimerglassworks blew the trick glass headlight, taillight, velocity stacks, and shift knob. Make sure to swipe for closeups! 🐙🧐🔥 What’s it like to ride? “Equal parts abject terror and unbelievable euphoria. It will shake your fittings loose, but tracks smooth down the road.” The Hackel-Wright was featured at both @handbuiltshow and @the1moto. Photos: @themerryprairie.
