English introduction

This is my official personal Web site. It is a collection of information about and by me. It also serves as a digital/online/Web CV of sorts. All original content in English and signs is by me unless otherwise cited.

If you’ve found an opinion, written or signed, that you have a question about, please contact me.

If you find an opinion (written or signed) I’ve published somewhere years ago, and then find something more recent that contradicts my previous opinion, I may have come into new data to change my opinion. Or I may be a hypocrite. Reach out for comment!— Thomas Muething (@tmueth1) September 28, 2023

How You Pronounce My Name in Spoken American English

[ˈtʰɒ.mə̃s] [ˈmjuːθɪ̃ŋ]. (Here is how to read the phonetic transcript of my name in the International Phonetic Alphabet). Feel free to pronounce it with any pronunciation that is common for your mother tongue that may be considered incorrect in spoken American English (I frequently lisp my first name’s /s/ phoneme or nasalise the initial /t/ phoneme because I was born Deaf/hard-of-hearing); however, my surname/family name is always spelt M-U-E-T-H-I-N-G.

I, Thomas Muething, assume full responsibility for all original content on this Web site. Citations/attributions are given wherever possible. No content should be interpreted as any sort of professional advice, and use of this Web site does not create a professional or personal relationship between me and you, the individual visitor or Web-archiving robot (such as the Wayback Machine, Archive.ph, or Google Cache service). Interacting with me on social media, such as Facebook/Threads/Instagram, zirk.us Mastodon/sdf.org Mastodon, LinkedIn, or X (formerly Twitter), may create a parasocial relationship. You can also find me @tmueth1 on bluesky.social media network. If we are currently in a professional relationship, please do not contact me via social-media channels unless you have received permission from me and from your supervisor/institution/agency’s “official policies”. Once the professional relationship with a power imbalance is over (such as teacher-student, employer-employee, supervisor-supervisee, or clinician/administrative staffer-patient), feel free to add me on any social-media network if you want. This will avoid the appearance of an inappropriate violation of professional boundaries. There are some people with whom I’ve had a professional relationship that I will never “add”/”follow” back under any circumstances. There are billions of people in the world; there is more than one Thomas Muething in the world. Please get over it.
