Intuit has a great document on that I hadn't seen before and which includes some terms where I was unaware of their racist roots:

Curious about gender and language? Check out "Build Your Gender Diversity Toolbox," a resource roundup originally published through a professional org but now available for free at my website. Lots of good stuff to explore :)

I had a lovely time talking to Melanie Padgett Powers on her "Association Station" podcast about conscious language and why it's important for associations (and all writers) to consider how their messaging might affect their audience. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts, or you can listen here: bit.ly/3JHCfcW

The term "enslave" in particular is one that I haven't yet found discussions about what to standardize replacing it with, and there still seem to be plenty of uses of it in the context of VLAN/VXLAN in .

(It looks like the project also hasn't made updates.)

Has there yet been standardization of terms to replace master/slave in various networking contexts (eg, , , link aggregation and bonding, etc), especially in their implementations? There seems to be a wide mix (eg, link, port, member instead of slave) from some searching, but not a huge amount of consistency. Plenty of things still seem to have not been addressed/renamed. It looks like P3400 may be working on this but nothing is public yet?

Gender affects all our lives, and all our stories—but what even is it? What’s it doing, for good and for ill, in fiction? This class dives deep into those questions and more, aiming to equip writers to work with gender in informed, inclusive, purposeful, and joyful ways. Join me to learn together in 3 weeks!

Happy ! If you're a fiction writer interested in doing more/better with gender diversity & inclusion, consider my July Loft Literary class "Gender is Our Playground." I'm editing the content right now and can report it's chock full of great stuff :)

Love, love, love this new post from Alex Kapitan (Radical Copyeditor). "Using language consciously and anti-oppressively is rooted in care, not correctness."

I really appreciate the two most recent Allusionist (podcast) episodes, with Helen Zaltzman & Aubrey Gordon in conversation about the word "fat." Maybe give them a listen! theallusionist.org/allusionist theallusionist.org/allusionist

Dear fellow word nerds: What are your thoughts & preferences re online course material delivery formats? Text only, video with slides and voiceover, podcast-like audio (+ transcripts), ... ? A mix of formats or a consistent approach to every lesson/week? I'm developing a course on inclusive language & trying to work out what investments of time/energy are likely to pay off for students :) @edibuddies @writers

The LA Times will replace "internment" with terms like "incarceration" and "imprisonment" to describe the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. The article also mentions the late Henry Fuhrmann's advocacy work on leading this change.
