Writer & editor. I like chocolate, afternoon tea, social justice, classical music, being outside, and heartbreakingly beautiful books. She/her.

The moon just resting for a moment at its bedside before retiring, just where the sun’s first glow is gilding the ridge. As if the moon, like me, were waiting for that.

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department

One thing I try never, ever to do is to state anything in terms of "I don't understand why people don't understand [some point of grammar or punctuation]."
I've been correcting the grammar and punctuation of some of the best writers on earth for decades; if they don't get it all, why should you?
