You know you’re from Baltimore when you’re bonding with someone about walking or biking to work, then one of you says “but I give a lot of space to cars with VA tags” & the other person is like “mmhmm not messing with that.”

Today was the first day in almost 4 decades of life that I used "find and replace." My middle school had a class where we learned how to use Word and Excel. I have no idea how today was my first day doing this.

Y'all. I am still getting random bills for bloodwork my primary care physician ordered in September. September! This is how our insurance works now: random bills for months so you cannot keep track of what was covered and what wasn't covered.

I am no longer in academia; I am an internal communications professional. But in my field, AI has brought about how important our expertise is for authenticity & critical thinking. Professors are the people shaping these skills in younger generations.
I’ve seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by [the madness of university layoffs of creative writing professors].

I love getting older. Kids will be like “have you heard of XYZ” and they look at me with wonder when I say “I was alive for that.”

Here’s to the editors! Can we include copy editors too? Both save us from ourselves.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

I want my healthcare to cover my costs when I unexpectedly end up in the hospital or at the doctor. I do not want personalized wellness tips from them.

A friend shared her grad school environmental writing syllabus & let me tell you, I would have read Walden much sooner if someone told me he had so much sass: “The luxuriously rich are not simply kept comfortably warm, but unnaturally hot; as I implied before, they are cooked, of course à la mode.”
