Wow! Editors Canada is making a new Canadian dictionary based on the Nelson Gage Canadian Paperback Dictionary.
I worked on the Nelson Canadian Dictionary as a student. We didn’t know which name for the $2 coin would win out, and the entry on Nunavut was in the future tense. It’s been a while, eh?

it is extremely hard to get it up to write fiction when the entire world is just the emotional equivalent of a pulled fire alarm shrieking in the hallway outside your door at all times and the landlords are like "oh yeah just ignore it, it's fine"

this is so obvious to me, because do you know how hard it is to [find/become] a good editor?????? really hard! why the fuck would anyone think that's a good thing for a bot to do? there's nothing mechanical about it!!

ever since learning that the national bird of 🍉, the p❤️lestine sunbird survived a name change attempt… & that occupiers drove a subspecies of crocodile endemic to the region to extinction… I couldn’t get this image out of my head. a ceasefire is the bare minimum. but let’s start there.
