Paulette mentions in her lovely, heartfelt post (https://types.pl/@koronkebitch/116263964501595558) that she's in PL for the people. The same is true for me.
I'm teaching undergrad PL again starting in about a week, and I'm thinking that this time around, I want to use lecture time to feature PL people that I love. Maybe once a week, I could show someone's photo, say a bit about how I know them, and then read out loud to the class something written either by or about them that conveys a sense of who they are.
