    Indexers are professionals. Many of them specialize in particular types of indexing or particular subject areas. They make a living indexing. I edit and index, and I find indexing *far more cognitively taxing* of the two. It is serious brain work… 3/

    SMALL PUBLISHERS: Stop asking your interns to index your books, unless you're also offering them training, support, and software (see ). You spend whatever you save on not hiring a professional indexer—and then some—on editing a poor index. 6/6

    No one with the strength & bravery to serve in the U.S. military should be turned away because of who they are. This hateful ban is purpose-built to humiliate our brave transgender members of the military who serve with honor & dignity.

    “When I announced yesterday that I’m running for gov, one of Cuomo’s top surrogates dismissed me as an “unqualified lesbian.” It’s true that I never received my certificate from the Department of Lesbian Affairs, though in my defense there’s a lot of paperwork required.” 🤷‍♀️

    I’ve been guilty of this myself, but I think we would all be better served if we stopped calling what Russia did “meddling.” When my Mom calls to tell me what color tie to wear on TV, she’s meddling. What the Russians did was conduct asymmetric warfare on our electoral process.

    There’s no way to explain the uncommon courage of the Parkland students. But worth noting: their school is named for Marjory Stoneman Douglas, supernova feminist, journalist & environmentalist, who protected the Everglades fr/development by Trump types. She died in 1998, at 108.

    We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.

    A man hits a very large, slow-moving, peaceful creature at close range with a high-powered rifle to help him feel like more of a man. Legal, endangered, threatened, or none of the above, it's still wrong and barbaric. Please RT if you think all trophy hunting should be outlawed.

    Naw, an American disgrace is a president who puts his own name in quotes, counts on all Americans being as gullible as his base, and can't spell the word "there."

    This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

    Now is a good time to remind people that there are no words in the U.S. Constitution that say the President can't be prosecuted for committing crimes, including Obstruction of Justice or Perjury. A fundamental tenet of our democracy is that no one is above the law.

    JUST IN: Robert Mueller has indicated to Pres. Trump's lawyers that the special counsel’s office will seek answers directly from the president on circumstances around Flynn, Comey firings, confirms.
