  1. 😒 Oh wow, another groundbreaking revelation: #authorization #terminology is a mess! How original! Meanwhile, the only "403 Forbidden" thing here is the reader's access to any actual useful #content. 🛑

  2. #Vocabulary selection is important. Sometimes, a change of #terminology is idiotic at best. For example, we abolished #homelessness, now we only have #unhoused. Sorry, WTF? Changing from prostitute to sex-worker, that makes sense, as prostitution has always been tied to bad morals and judgement. Here using the slur argument has merit. I've not really been convinced with the r-word, but for those called such derogitorially, for them the change was #empowering, so I'm happy to run with it. /1

  3. A very interesting paper concerning the terminology of exotic plants in #France edited by G.Fried and Collegues! This is a very usefull text for all real fieldecologist and field botanist working in continental France -and for this its written in French. Could also be interesting for neighbouring regions in Germany and Switzerland! For collegues not reading French, #Deepl provides very good translations!
