People born after 1980 have been systematically excluded from wages and assets. We can't have housing prices outpace wages for 40 years and then act surprised that there's no one around to buy the unending shoebox condo projects.
The zoning reforms that have been done in the past 5 years are 20 years late.

#ScribesAndMakers 25, How would you describe your fashion sense?
I can't seem to comprehend fashion. I never get it right, it's not made for voluptuous creatures like myself, and currently, it's a toxic pit of consumerism exploiting people from all angles.
But my style, is an eccentric blend of goth and vintage, perpetually stuck in spooky season, while donning the occasional pointy hat.
I'll take style over fashion, any day.

Hello everyone! 👋
After having run a project account for a while, I thought it's high time to put a face to my research. So here I am: an English linguist with an interest in the language of fake news and spoken language (not always together, actually I prefer to take a break from fake news sometimes 😆). Will post about both, but especially about the role of language in 'implicit' deception, persuasion and manipulation - you know, things beneath the surface that make linguists giddy!
Cheers!
