Having something to say and saying it beautifully are distinct pursuits. We can talk about the AI em-dash situation all you like. But another pervasive issue for me is the use of a foot mark where a proper apostrophe should be (option-shift-]). Here are just a few recent examples 🙄 #copyediting
Hey @vanderbilt.edu — you’re using an ancient style of two spaces after a period. It’s on your portal for CCA faculty to submit their information to you, after the first Welcome! and also after Bay Area. #scholarlyexcellence #collaboration

SUCH a fantastic guest lecture today by @conniechiiiwa.bsky.social — thank you THANK YOUUuuu Connie for sharing your wit & wisdom with my class! They ATE it up — you are FOREVER that bitch!!! 🫰🏻🔥
And all the planning and the love and group excitement got me thinking that I will do the same for my 60th. Six years from now (imma start saving so folks can say yes). Started a list and sent out save the date texts. Some folks are like “whoa, that’s a long ways from now…” Others stay READY. 🤘🏻😎❤️🔥
So tomorrow in class… this is my 2nd slide. 🫤😅 We’re gonna talk about it all. 🤘🏻

The cupcake chop. Harder than it looks to split evenly. Also I moved houses yesterday did 16,000 steps and got five hours sleep, so. I will practice more. @conniechiiiwa.bsky.social was kind to let me have my 15% of it. 🙃
