When they’re not vibrating at the speed of light about linguistics, they can usually be found cross-stitching, embroidering, occasionally knitting, playing piano, and listening to spooky podcasts. Their goals for this year include finally getting started on their neverending list of linguistic projects, and trying to read the 90+ academic articles they’ve bookmarked…
