Research

• Linguistics Blogs: A compendium of linguistics blogs maintained by the LinguistList.
• Wikipedia database dumps: Did you know you can download all of Wikipedia in a single database file? This makes an excellent, clean natural language corpus for various languages. To strip the XML and leave only plain text, I used a script from LinguaTools. BYU Corpora: Brigham Young University produces and maintains an excellent collection of corpus resources.

Organizations

• Financial Times: The best newspaper I know of.
• Ertegun Scholarship Program in the Humanities: A remarkable scholarship program at the University of Oxford. If you are a humanist or a scientist working in one of the fields concerned with language or culture (e.g. linguistics or anthropology), definitely apply to this program.
• Go Fossil Free and 350.org: The leading organizations in the fight to bring popular resistance to our insane global environmental policies.
• Federation of American Scientists: Serious policy analysis from a group staffed by scientists and engineers. Major causes include nuclear proliferation and government secrecy.
• Libcom Library: Tons of free books.
• Red Emma’s Bookstore and Cafe: An remarkable achievement, this fully worker-owned-and-operated cafe/bookstore in Baltimore also hosts the Baltimore Free School
