Appreciative of everyone's mutual dislike and with the support of some of you, I've got a draft in progress for the editors. Let me know if you want me to add you to the letter.

I will send the letter to the editors by Monday morning (January 18, 2021) 10 AM EST. So let me know by then.

Wow blown away by the response... thank you for rallying to the cause. This has been restorative as I worry about other things happening these days. FYI still collecting responses until tmw. Please be patient as I make sure I reply to all.

Also I will be posting this on Figshare so it's online and has a PID. I will share that link when it's available. And of course I'll keep you posted of any replies from the editors or publishers.

Thank you to all who contributed, gave feedback and signed, which are too many to be tagged 😳! About 200 signatures. AND over the weekend AND during these apocarevolutiondemic days?!? Wow it’s things like these that keep me working...

Along with sharing the open letter which I hope can be the start of a template of a more general letter that can be re-used in similar cases, which hopefully are few and far between, and thanking everyone who co-signed, I also wanted to highlight a few things…

Emboxed Discourse Musings. A thread...

#EmboxedDiscourse

Our new normal these days as we’re Zooming means we're living part of our lives in boxes. We’re having meetings and classes and happy hour on Zoom. Our discourse is being shaped by these boxes we’re appearing in, hence...

#EmboxedDiscourse

From my perspective as a white Deaf sighted woman who uses ASL and teaches linguistics at a university, it’s been amazing seeing our language and communicative practices being shaped (and re-shaped) by those boxes.

Some random observations...

Presented "Sign Language Description: A Deaf Retrospective & Application of Best Practices from Language Documentation" shwca.se/DeafLing for #SSLL2019 I appreciated the space to start a dialogue about how us who work w signed languages can reflect on our research practices

Part of what I discussed included "open access" - sharing information online freely and immediately. In that spirit, I'm creating a thread that outlines my presentation. I will be submitting an article for the journal linked to #SSLL2019 too. So here goes! CAUTION: LONG thread.

@AnneliesKusters

I started off introducing myself as a Deaf American woman with some discussion of my life experiences because as noted by many (e.g. @AnneliesKusters & @hildemh) the researcher's effect (including their lived experience, research training/goals, etc) is undeniable. I then
