What are you carrying that God never asked you to pack?In this message, Pastor Caleb Surface unpacks the story of the prodigal son from Luke 15:13–18 to explore the spiritual baggage we carry when we drift from God. From rebellion and regret to the turning point of repentance, this sermon invites us to lay down the burdens of shame and self-reliance and return to the Father who runs to meet us.Whether you've wandered far or just feel weighed down by your past, this message is a call to come home—and to travel lighter this summer.ASL interpretation is provided.  Questions?

When Jose Perez finished high school in Massachusetts, he took the advice of counselors who advised him to check out the range of opportunities at his local community college. He says it's been all good - Jose has taken courses towards certification to become an educational paraprofessional, some music classes, an ASL course, and participates in several campus organizations and clubs, including the student senate. He's also dedicated to working with campus police on de-escalation techniques, as he himself experienced improper treatment when hospitalized. Jose has been enrolled in classes at HCC for a few years and takes the paratransit to campus, something he learned to do after the pandemic. Now he's looking forward to getting his certification so he can help students in the same transition program he used when charting a path from high school to vocational training. He's joined on this episode by Rebecca Leporati, a counselor at HCC, who explains the scope of degree and non-degree options for community college students. Support the show

In dieser Episode des Energiezone-Podcasts sprechen wir mit Martin Lass, einem Experten für nachhaltige Energieversorgung und der Geschäftsführer von ASL sowie der Quartierpioniere. Wir befinden uns auf dem Silagehaufen einer Biogasanlage in Tüttendorf, umringt von der Biomasse, die als Energiespeicher dient. Martin gibt uns Einblicke in den aktuellen Stand seiner Projekte, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Entwicklung des regionalen Wärmenetzes und den Ausbau der Gaskraftwerksstrategie. Wir beginnen mit einer lebhaften Diskussion über die Wetterbedingungen und deren Auswirkungen auf die Energieproduktion. Die Windstärke ist hoch und bietet optimale Bedingungen für die Windkraft, während die Biogasanlage darauf angewiesen ist, die richtigen Substrate für die Gasproduktion zu verwenden. Martin erklärt, wie die saisonale Ernte von Biomasse die Energieproduktion beeinflusst und welche Rolle die unterschiedlichen Rohstoffarten dabei spielen. Wir erfahren, dass ein kleiner Haufen von Biomasse bereits genug Energie für ein ganzes Jahr liefern kann und dass die Menge an eingespeister Energie saisonabhängig variiert. Ein zentrales Thema ist auch die politische Landschaft und die Herausforderungen, die mit der Umsetzung von Nahwärmenetzen verbunden sind. Martin schildert, wie die Quartierpioniere an Bürgerbeteiligungsmodellen arbeiten und welche Fortschritte in der Eintragung der Genossenschaften gemacht wurden. Die Regierung hat eine neue Wirtschafts- und Energieministerin, und die Diskussion um die Gaskraftwerkskapazitäten ist in vollem Gange. Martin analysiert die aktuelle Stimmung und die Herausforderungen, die mit den verschiedenen Lobbyströmungen und der Infrastrukturplanung einhergehen. Wir vertiefen uns in die konkrete Problematik der Kosten von Nahwärmenetzen, die im Vergleich zu bestehenden städtischen Planungen oft viel günstiger sind. Martin erklärt, dass die Umsetzung dezentraler Wärmeversorgung nicht nur eine Kostensenkung bedeutet, sondern auch zu einer höheren Versorgungssicherheit beiträgt. Er gibt konkrete Zahlen zu den Investitionskosten und vergleicht die Nachfragestrukturen zwischen ländlichen und städtischen Gebieten. Ein weiterer interessanter Punkt ist die Diskussion über die Rolle von Gaskraftwerken in der zukünftigen Energieversorgung. Martin kritisiert die einseitige Fokussierung auf fossile Brennstoffe und betont die Notwendigkeit einer technologieoffenen Diskussion. Es wird deutlich, dass biogene und erneuerbare Energien eine tragende Rolle in der Transition hin zu einer nachhaltigen Energieversorgung spielen sollten.

Join Pastor Matt Higgins and elders‑in‑training Carey Bockting and Ivan McDonald on Northwood Church Matters as they examine how technology—from hymnals and overhead projectors to LED walls, livestreaming, and AI‑powered translation—is reshaping church. They discuss Northwood's recent tech upgrades, spotlight multilingual worship through live translation and ASL, and explore why people turn to online services—for illness, travel, distance or convenience. But the heart of the episode is deeper: can digital attendance truly replace in‑person community? Our hosts grapple with what it means to participate meaningfully in the body of Christ and encourage listeners to adopt tech without losing face‑to‑face connection.

Indy Pride‘s Girl Pride event will take place Thursday, celebrating queer women, trans, and nonbinary individuals with an expected attendance of 800 people.Girl Pride is a declaration of identity and a celebration of community, featuring a headline performance by The Aces, who are known for their queer anthems.The event promises a high-energy experience with performances from drag queens, aerialists, DJs, and artists, offering a multidimensional celebration of expression.

If you can't make it Thursday, there are still plenty of events happening this Saturday, including a parade on Massachusetts Avenue.Girl Pride starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, but the festivities continue throughout the weekend, offering numerous opportunities for the community to come together and celebrate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yaklaşık Türkçeleri; saygısız, haddini bilmez, kibirli, utanmaz, arsız…

Tom Elias Hanna, COO of Hanna Interpreting Services (Hanna), joins SlatorPod to talk about how a family-run interpreting initiative grew into a national language solutions integrator (LSI).Tom explained that the company was born out of necessity during an influx of Arabic-speaking refugees in San Diego, with his mother providing interpretation and him leveraging his legal background to establish a compliant, scalable business that now serves healthcare, government, education, and social service sectors across California.Tom described how their inclusion-focused work led to partnerships like one with San Diego FC, where they provide ASL at every home game. He emphasized that while AI holds potential in sign language interpretation, it must evolve with and for the deaf community to be truly effective, due to cultural, emotional, and experiential nuances that current technologies cannot replicate.On-site language interpretation remains the core service, especially across healthcare, education, and social services. Though remote interpreting and AI are on the rise, Tom emphasizes the irreplaceable value of human interpreters, particularly in high-stakes, emotionally nuanced settings like hospitals.Tom explained that their recent rebrand emphasizes both human connection — central to their on-site interpreting services — and technological growth.Initially, without a sales team, Hanna grew through referrals, client satisfaction, and high service quality. Only after COVID did Tom begin to formalize a sales strategy and identify account management as a natural extension of their client-first approach.Tom expressed that despite considerable internal and industry-wide discussions, the Trump Executive Order designating English as the only official language of the US had no tangible effect on Hanna, so far. He noted that no clients inquired about it or changed their behavior.Looking ahead, Tom aims to scale geographically, explore strategic acquisitions, and develop proprietary technologies to improve experiences for clients, staff, and linguists alike.

Bir halk neden isyan eder? Aslında herhangi bir sebep olabilir bu. Bardağı taşıran son damla misali… Gezi'de olduğu gibi ağaçların kesilmesine karşı çıkanların çadırlarının yakılması ya da 19 Mart'ta olduğu gibi seçilmiş bir belediye başkanının, müstakbel bir cumhurbaşkanı adayının siyasi bir operasyonla içeri atılması bardağı taşırabilir. Halk sokağa dökülebilir. İktidara bakarsanız bunlar hep dış güçlerin işleridir. Kişi kendinden bilir. Kendileri Amerika'dan aldıkları talimatla hocalarını terk edip yine Amerika'dan aldıkları icazetle iktidar oldukları için kendi iktidarlarını tehlikede gördüklerinde de hemen “dış güçler” diye feryada başlarlar. Oysa her şeyin sebebi kendileridir! Bardak taşınca sadece iktidar halkın karşısına çıkmaz. İktidara karşı olsa da düzene sonuna kadar bağlı olan düzen muhalefeti de rolünü oynamaya başlar. Halkın isyanını soğutur, böler, saptırır. Sebep onlardır, çözüm ise bizdedir. Emekçi halktadır!Emekçi halk kendi gündemine sahip çıkmalı ve bu gündemi siyasetin merkezine taşımalıdır. Çünkü bardağı taşıran son damlanın ne olduğu kadar, bardağın nasıl dolduğu da önemlidir. Türkiye işçi sınıfı için bardak, işsizlik ve yoksulluk ile ağzına kadar dolmuş durumda. Bunun da sebebi iktidarın emperyalist para babalarına, yerli ve yabancı tekellere hizmet eden, sermayeye dost, işçiye düşman politikaları. Ekonomiyi teslim ettikleri İngiliz Mehmet'e (kendisi resmen İngiliz vatandaşıdır) Orta Vadeli Program diye bir kemer sıkma programı hazırlatıp kemeri işçi sınıfının boynuna taktılar, sıktıkça sıkıyorlar.İşte rakamlar! TÜİK'in resmî rakamları ile atıl işgücü oranı yani gerçek işsizlik oranı yüzde 32,1'e ulaştı ve rekor kırdı. Pandemi döneminde dahi bu rakam en fazla yüzde 30'a (Ocak 2021) çıkmıştı. Bugün her üç kişiden biri işsiz! Vestel'in krizin faturasını işçiye çıkartmak için 2.000 işçiyi işten atma planı kamuoyunda ses getirdi. Ancak hâlihazırda sanayide fabrikalar onar onar, yüzer yüzer işçi çıkartıyor. İşsizler ordusu büyüdükçe patronlar işten çıkarma tehdidiyle çalışanlar üzerinde terör estiriyor. Çıkartılan işçiler yeniden iş bulmakta zorlanıyor. Bir şekilde iş bulduklarında ise eski işlerindeki ücret ve sosyal hakların altında şartlara, çoğu zaman da asgari ücrete mahkûm oluyorlar.Asgari ücret bu ülkede açlık ücreti demek. Yılın ilk 5 ayında açlık sınırı 25.092 lira, yoksulluk sınırı 81.734 liraya yükseldi. Bekar bir işçinin yaşam maliyeti ise 32.463 lira. Bunlar Mayıs ayı rakamları. Mevcut enflasyonla yıl sonuna kadar açlık sınırı 30 bin lirayı, yoksulluk sınırı 100 bin lirayı aşacak, bekar bir işçinin yaşam maliyeti de 40 bin lirayı bulacak. İşte böyle bir ortamda işçi sınıfımız asgari ücret adı altında 22.104 liralık açlık ücretine mahkûm edilmiş durumda. Hâliyle ve haklı olarak işçiler, Temmuz'da asgari ücrete zam bekliyor. İktidarın tutumu belli! İngiliz Mehmet “kemer sıkmaya devam” diyor. Çalışma Bakanı Vedat Işıkhan “daha erken” diye top çeviriyor. Sürpriz yok. Ama düzen muhalefetine de dikkat! Özgür Özel mitinglerde asgari ücrete zam nutukları atarken sermayeyi ürkütmemek için CHP'nin sözde emek komisyonu başkanı Gamze Taşcıer devreye giriyor: “Yükü sadece işverene bırakırsanız bu ekonomik ortamda işverenin bunu kaldırabilmesi mümkün değil!” Vermeyecekler! Almak için örgütlü mücadeleye! Unutma, sadece sendikalı olursan iş güvencesini savunabilirsin ve açlık ücretini reddedebilirsin! Devletten vermesini beklemeyeceğiz, örgütlü mücadeleyle patronlardan teker teker, söke söke alacağız! Devlete de gücün işçide olduğunu ancak böyle gösterebiliriz. Bardak doldu taştı! Emekçi halk isyanlarda ama bize işçi iktidarı gerek! Ancak işimiz için patronların karşısına birlik olup çıkarsak, ancak her lokmamız için birlikte savaşarak işçi iktidarının yolunu açabiliriz. İşçi düşmanı Orta Vadeli Programı çöpe atmak, İngiliz Mehmet'e “go home” demek için işçiler siyasete! Memlekete iş, aş, hürriyet getirmek için öncü işçiler göreve, Devrimci İşçi Partisi'ne, örgütlü mücadeleye!

Kyle Casey Chu, aka Panda Dulce is a fourth-generation Chinese-American. Her twin brother has autism, and the two went to Jefferson Elementary in the Sunset because the school had a good inclusive special education program. Kyle says that from an early age, she fought for her twin, all the way up to teaching classmates ASL to be able to communicate with her brother. After one year at Lick-Wilmerding High School, Kyle transferred to School of the Arts (now Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts) to major in music. She went to Sarah Lawrence College in New York after that, where she majored in ethnic studies and arts, followed by time at Columbia University for social work. Then Kyle Casey Chu came back to her hometown. She says she missed the calmness here, the Queer scene, and her family. We shift the conversation to the story of how San Francisco Drag Story Hour got started. Michelle Tea founded Drag Story Hour after having a kid of her own and discovering how hard it was to find spaces for queer parents or parents of queer kids. Tea thought, ‘Why not bring the magic of drag to youth spaces?' When she set out, Tea sought drag queens who had worked with youth before, something that proved not too easy. But Kyle and her drag persona, Panda Dulce, did in fact have youth work experience. Kyle had worked as a K–5 Spanish immersion teacher, a special ed. teacher, a music teacher, and a camp counselor. That plus her social work degree definitely qualified her for Drag Story Hour. She along with a handful of other queens joined the pilot program. Fast-forward to June 2022, when members of the so-called “Proud Boys” (ugh) stormed a Drag Story Hour in San Lorenzo in the East Bay that Panda Dulce had been asked to read at. After barging in uninvited and definitely unwanted, they shouted transphobic slurs and calling Panda a pedophile, a “tranny,” and an “it.” She was forced for her own safety to lock herself in a back room of the library until authorities arrived. When they did, they simply asked these horrible people to leave. No citations. Not even a slap on the wrist or taking of names. The goings on in San Lorenzo that day were awful enough. But starting soon after, the missteps by media were relentless for Kyle. Journalists seemed more interested in a preordained narrative than Kyle's actual experience and associated trauma. It was like the story was being fed to her, rather than coming from her own words. But Kyle and her writing partner, Roisin Isner, were talking one day. They decided that they wanted to reclaim authorship of Kyle's story, to add dimensionality and humanity to her experience. Isner had been through a traumatic event of her own years earlier and could easily relate to her friend. We talk at length about Kyle's reliving her trauma to film the short film that came out of writing sessions with her friend. She says that she never really stopped living it, in fact, and that shooting the movie served as a sort of catharsis for her. Then we talk about her new book, The Queen Bees of Tybee County, which is out now wherever you buy books (except for that one place—never buy anything there yuck). When we recorded that day in April, the book had just been optioned and could become a movie in the near future. She's also got another short coming soon, Betty, which just premiered in New York. Follow Kyle/Panda Dulce on Instagram and her Kyle Casey Chu website. We recorded this bonus episode during SFFILM fest in The Presidio in April 2025. Photography by Jeff Hunt

Bitcoin'in sadece karmaşık bir teknik sistem olmadığını biliyor muydunuz? Aslında Bitcoin, sizi paranın tarihi, bankacılık ve çeşitli ekonomik düşünce ekolleri hakkında beklenmedik bir öğrenme yolculuğuna çıkarabilir. Bu yolculukta ilk şaşırtıcı duraklardan biri, finans, ekonomi ve hatta psikoloji hakkında ne kadar az şey bildiğimizi fark etmek oluyor.Bu keşif süreci, enflasyonun ne anlama geldiği ve yeni para basımının neden basitçe daha fazla talep yaratmak yerine halihazırda mevcut paranın değerini düşürdüğü gibi temel sorularla başlıyor. Enflasyonun gizli bir vergi oluşu ve hiperenflasyonun yıkıcı etkileri gibi konular, parayla olan ilişkimizi yeniden düşünmemize neden oluyor. Tarih boyunca hükümetlerin para arzını artırma cazibesine direnemediği ve bu durumun para birimlerinin değer kaybetmesine veya çökmesine yol açtığı gerçeğiyle yüzleşiyoruz.Para birimlerinin altın ve gümüş gibi somut değerlere dayalı olduğu dönemlerden, sadece hükümet kararıyla değeri olan itibari para sistemine nasıl geçildiğini anlamak, büyük bir illüzyonun parçası olduğumuzu fark etmemizi sağlıyor. Ayrıca, bankaların aslında sahip olmadıkları parayı ödünç verebildikleri kesirli rezerv bankacılığının çılgınlığını ve bunun para arzını nasıl katladığını öğreniyoruz. Para yaratma gücünün ne kadar büyük bir kontrol sağladığını görüyoruz.Peki ya değer? Neden bazı şeylere diğerlerinden daha fazla değer veriyoruz? Değerin sadece öznel olmadığını, kıtlık ve üretim zorluğu gibi nesnel kriterlere de bağlı olduğunu ve Bitcoin'in bu özelliklere sahip olduğunu anlıyoruz.Bitcoin, 21 milyonluk sınırlı arzı ve matematiksel olarak kontrol edilen para basımıyla, bu eski ekonomik paradigmaları sorgulamamızı sağlıyor. Para arzını matematiksel kuralların belirlediği bir sistem olarak, hükümetlerin parayı şişirme eğilimine karşı bir alternatif sunuyor. Bu bağlamda, sağlam para kavramı - yani değerini zaman içinde koruyabilen para - öne çıkıyor. Bitcoin'in benzersiz stok-akış oranı, onu altın gibi geleneksel sağlam para biçimleriyle karşılaştırmamızı sağlıyor ve gelecekte "sonsuz sağlamlığa" yaklaşacağını gösteriyor.Bitcoin'in ekonomik öğretileri, finansal cahilliğimizle yüzleşmek ve paranın gerçek doğasını anlamak için güçlü bir katalizör görevi görüyor. Bu podcast serisi, Bitcoin'in bize para, değer ve ekonominin işleyişi hakkında öğrettiklerini keşfedecek. Gelin, bu eğitici ve aydınlatıcı sohbetimize katılın!Kaynak

Summer is fast approaching and so is the next episode. We just can't believe how fast time flies. Or how SHOCKING this episode is. Scott Mullins discusses how to track your ASL games, using the ASL Archive and other methods. Matt Zajak discusses his background and his campaign games with his buddies, as well as his favorite miniature ancients rule set, favorite Advanced Squad Leader tournaments and scenarios, basically all things ASL. Most importantly Matt discusses his travels to Russia and help with the Ponyri game. We even dare to chat about our wives (and it's all good).Dave forgets that he has played 1,402 games so far.How about that opening song?

In this episode of Rainy Day Recess, Cherylynne Crowther takes the reins to discuss the ongoing exclusion of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) families in Seattle Public Schools. After a group of Deaf parents testified about enrollment barriers at the April 23 board meeting, many returned two weeks later to a district engagement event, only to find there were no interpreters. The district apologized, but the apology wasn't interpreted either.We explore the long history of inaccessibility in SPS along with the specific changes families are calling for now, including: enrollment at DHH schools for children of deaf adults (CODAs), consistent ASL interpretation, and a community-led DHH task force.Are we on a better trajectory at last?See our Show NotesSupport the workSubscribe to Rainy Day RecessFollow us on Substack and BlueskyContact us at hello@rainydayrecess.orgSupport us on PatreonSupport the showContact us at hello@rainydayrecess.org.Rainy Day Recess music by Lester Mayo, logo by Cheryl Jenrow.

"Always lead by example in being a genuinely good person. Unfortunately, there are creators of conflict, rage baiters, and evil that exists. When people need a reason to heal, let your compassion for all beings and love of life serve as a safe landing/launching pad of inspiration. Those who spread false narratives for the sake of sabotage, causing confusion and avoiding/refusing accountability -- or who intentionally hurt people, places and spaces just to feel better about themselves -- deep down are insecure, lack a real sense of identity and purpose, or perhaps even feel dead inside. Pray for them, hope for their healing, rise above it all... May peace, love, alignment, and harmony be with You/U."

MMP does not want you to know about all the other games that exist in the world. We would never spend time on this show discussing games like Dungeons and Dragons, Settlers of Cataan, or Twilight Imperium, because we are such Advanced Squad Leader loyalists and Fan Boys.  Or would we now? In this very show, Jim Burris gives us an update on the St. Louis Tournament and what HE has been playing lately.

Geleneksel olarak ABD'nin Los Angeles eyaletinde düzenlenen “Anadolu Kültürleri ve Yemek Festival”i Mayıs ayının birinci haftasında gerçekleştirildi. İki gün boyunca açık kalan festivalde, Türk yemeklerinin yanı sıra Türkiye'nin tarihi mekanlarının maketleri ve sunumları da vardı. Festivalde Türk mutfağının birbirinden lezzetli yemekleri sunuldu. Yemeklerin tadına bakan Amerikalılar, Türk yemeklerine hayran kaldılar. Tadı damaklarında kalan yemekleri tekrar yiyebilmek için yemek reyonlarının önünde uzun kuyruklar oluşturdu. Türk aşçılarının yemek yapığını da izleyen Amerikalılar, her yemeği tek tek tatmaya çalıştı. Festivale gelip de Türk yemeklerinin tadına bakan insanların izlenimleri şöyleydi: Avustralya kökenli bir Amerikalı, patlıcan yemeğini tadınca aldığı lezzetten şaşkınlığını gizleyemedi. Sharon adlı Amerikalı ise favori yemeğinin köfte olduğunu söyledi. Yine Amerikalı Jane de “Türk mutfağı dünyada bir numara, farklı kültürleri içinde barındırıyor.” dedi. Festivali çok başarılı bulan Jeff ve Eloise ise gözlemeye hayran kaldıklarını söylediler. Festivale gelenler sadece Amerikalılar değildi. Farklı milletlerden de Türk mutfağı sevdalısı ziyaretçiler vardı. Örneğin Arap asıllı Nazri burasının kendisine Arap kültürünü ve akrabalarının tarihini hatırlattığını belirtti. Türk ve Arap kültürlerini birbirlerine çok yakın gördüğünü ifade eden Nazri, festivalden çok keyif aldığını vurguladı. Festivale oğluyla birlikte gelen Zae de Türkiye'yi ziyaretinin ardından, dünyada en sevdiği ülkenin Türkiye olduğuna karar verdiğini belirtti ve bu nedenle festivale ailesini de getirip onlara Türk kültürünü ve yemeklerini göstermek istediğini söyledi. Zea, “Türk yemekleri bence dünyanın en güzel yemekleri” derken oğlu da festivalde en çok Truva atından ve şehir standartlarındaki üç boyutlu maketlerden etkilendiğini, bir gün Türkiye'ye gitmeyi çok istediğini ifade etti. Amerikalılara Yemek Dersi Festivale gelenlere ders veren aşçı Süreyya Gökeri, 21 yıldır ABD'de yaşıyor. Türk yemekleri konusunda 4 yıldır profesyonel dersler veriyor. Türk aşçı Gökeri, “Burada işin de ricada bulunuldular, kabul edip, zevkle geldim. Her şey çok güzel gidiyor. Yemek dersini, içine kültür, tarih ve eğlence katarak vermeye çalışıyorum. Çok güzel ilgi var.” dedi. Amerikalılar için yapılan kolay yemek tarifleri belirten aşçı Gökeri, bunlar arasında kısır, sigara böreği, patlıcan salatası ve irmik tatlısı gibi örnekleri sıraladı. Türk aşçı Gökeri, Amerikalıların Türk yemeklerine genel anlamda ilgisini ise şöyle değerlendirdi: “Dört yıl önce yemek derslerine başladığımda kendi kendime kızdım, keşke daha önce başlasaydım, çünkü Amerikalılar Türk mutfağına çok ilgi duyuyor. Genelde orta yaş ve orta yaş üstü insanların Türk mutfağını daha fazla merak ettiğini görüyoruz. Aslında Türk yemeklerini çok tanımıyorlar ama inşallah bundan sonra onlara Türk yemeğini daha iyi tanıtıp bilmedikleri kapıları açmak istiyoruz.”

Gestures: every known language has them, and there's a growing body of research on how they fit into communication. But academic literature can be hard to dig into on your own. So Lauren has spent the past 5 years diving into the gesture literature and boiling it down into a tight 147 page book. In this episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about Lauren's new book, Gesture: A Slim Guide from Oxford University Press. Is it a general audience book? An academic book? A bit of both. (Please enjoy our highlights version in this episode, a slim guide to the Slim Guide, if you will.) We talk about the wacky hijinks gesture researchers have gotten up to with the aim of preventing people from gesturing without tipping them off that the study is about gesture, including a tricked-out "coloured garden relax chair" that makes people "um" more, as well as crosslinguistic gestural connections between signed and spoken languages, and how Gretchen's gestures in English have been changing after a year of ASL classes. Plus, a few behind-the-scenes moments: Lauren putting a line drawing of her very first gesture study on the cover, and how the emoji connection from Because Internet made its way into Gesture (and also into the emoji on your phone right now). There were also many other gesture stories that we couldn't fit in this episode, so keep an eye out for Lauren doing guest interviews on other podcasts! We'll add them to the crossovers page and the Lingthusiasm hosts elsewhere playlist as they come up. And if there are any other shows you'd like to hear a gesture episode on, feel free to tell them to chat to Lauren!

There's a leaping Gavagai rabbit, bouba and kiki shapes, and more...see how many items you can recognize! This sticker (or possibly a subtle variation...stay tuned for an all-patron vote!) will go out to everyone who's a patron at the Lingthusiast level or higher as of July 1st, 2025. We're also hoping that this sticker special offer encourages people to join and stick around as we need to do an inflation-related price increase at the Lingthusiast level. As we mentioned on the last bonus episode, our coffee hasn't cost us five bucks in a while now, and we need to keep paying the team who enables us to keep making the show amid our other linguistics prof-ing and writing jobs. In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about linguist celebrities! We talk about start with the historically famous Brothers Grimm and quickly move onto modern people of varying levels of fame, including a curiously large number of linguistics figure skaters. We also talk about a few people who are famous within linguistics, including a recent memoir by Noam Chomsky's assistant Bev Stohl about what it was like keeping him fueled with coffee. And finally, we reflect on running into authors of papers we've read at conferences, when people started recognizing us sometimes, and our tips and scripts for navigating celebrity encounters from both sides.
