I’m sorry, but no family will ever be as perfect as this one.

On this spot, on the night of 31 October 1981,
Lily and James Potter lost their lives.
Their son, Harry, remains the only wizard
ever to have survived the Killing Curse.
This house, invisible to Muggles, has been left
in its ruined state as a monument to the Potters
and as a reminder of the violence
that tore apart their family.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (via fuckyeahprongs)(via zoealex)

For your viewing pleasure this evening, here is a) a lingusitics-themed pumpkin, and b) the face of one of the So Long As It’s Words girls! (Hannah, to be specific.)
The little creature on my pumpkin is a wug, made famous by Berko’s Wug Test, with the phonetic transcription alongside (because phonetics is my favourite and I could not resist). Hope you find my tragic life choices vaguely entertaining, and happy Hallowe’en, all!
- Yay for more linguistics pumpkins!
- Whoa, do you really pronounce ‘wug’ [wʊg]? Is that the standard/is there a standard? I always just assumed it was meant to be pronounced with a schwa, but it’s not a word I hear people say out loud very often.

Just finished carving this year’s pump’in. [hæpi halowin]!
Hello! My name is Joe Kessler. I'm a 23-year-old grad student, studying linguistics at the University at Buffalo in upstate New York. I grew up in Vero Beach, Florida, and I went to college at William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
I am pro-diversity in all domains, and I am a regular advocate for acceptance and celebration of linguistic variation. Not sure what that means? Feel free to ask me anything, or check out my blog on the subject.
(I tend to answer all questions publicly, so if you'd prefer a private response sent to your inbox, please let me know when you ask. I'm currently very behind on answering messages, but I promise I'll get to all of them eventually!)
I'm as big a fanboy as anyone else, and my Tumblr often shows it. I am a particular fan of Doctor Who, Community, Harry Potter, and The Band Perry. (A complete list of my TV fandoms, which show up the most on this blog, can be found here.) I am also a lifelong bookworm -- at the moment I am reading Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz, and my favorite authors include Stephen R. Donaldson, Brandon Sanderson, Neil Gaiman, and Stephen King.
Thanks for visiting my Tumblr, and I hope you enjoy your stay!
