Today we get a treat from Harps, #StetPet editorial assistant of OR Guild member @wellreadedits.bsky.social.

"Harps tends to take a hatchet to the projects she works on, leaving them a little bloody. Every once in a while, though, she gives a project the vampire’s kiss of approval."

We were featured on today’s #StetPet! 😁🩷
Meet Halle, #StetPet editorial assistant of OR Guild member @wellreadedits.bsky.social.

"Halle has a mark on her back that either looks like a question mark or a comma/curly quotation mark, depending on how she moves. She was clearly meant to be a copyeditor!"

Let's travel back in time to last summer when our friends at @editorscanada.bsky.social's Editors Weekly blog featured the history of #StetPet and why we here at the Guild created the movement to share the love for our animal editorial assistants!

The Guild offers so much more than #StetPets, but aren’t they just the cutest?? 🥰
We could all use some extra help getting through the workday from our animal editorial assistants right now! Find out how your friend could earn all the virtual fame and ear scratches of the online editorial community as a future #StetPet at edsguild.org/stetpet. We're always accepting submissions!

Today we check in with Snug, #StetPet editorial assistant of ON editor @elizdanjou.bsky.social

"Snug helping me keep my lap warm on a chilly morning. (When I tried to explain to her about also needing to reach the keyboard, she fell asleep.)"

What she said ⬇️⬇️
Men.
This is not a dating site.
A follow is NOT an invitation to DM me or any woman.
At least 10 males sent me inappropriate DMs today.
If I wanted a sugar daddy 🙄 or an affair I sure as hell wouldn’t look on SM.
Knock it off.

My computer died after an OS update. My tech guy (husband) spent two days trying to revive it. It’s now with Apple, but it’s not looking good. I’m on a deadline and a replacement is two weeks out.
