    I hope Elon Musk never gets into a scandal. Elon-gate would be really drawn out.

    Why editors should always avoid putting notes to writers directly in the copy.

    I agree, this would be a good edit

    5 weeks from . Dog Rescue is my “why.” Asking (ok, begging?) for donations () and encouragement (for me and adoptables at ).

    The fatigue is real! Now is a good time to remember your ‘why?’ Why did you sign up for this: Self improvement? Better a PB? Support a charity? Don’t lose sight of what got you started in the first place. Run today’s miles with an extra sense of purpose.

    Just realized today was my work anniversary. Lucky 13, and now working on our 13th journal. Coincidence? (Yes, it is just a coincidence.)

    The national flag of the Republic of Ireland has vertical bands of green, white, orange 🇮🇪. Don’t confuse it with the flag of the Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 (orange, white, green). The flag in Northern Ireland is, well, complicated.

    While we’re at it, a shamrock has 3 leaves ☘️ for the Holy Trinity and is a symbol of Ireland. The 4-leaf clover 🍀 is said to bring luck to its finder because of its purported rarity (it’s actually not that rare.) For tomorrow, you want the shamrock ☘️.

    For tomorrow: It’s St. Paddy’s Day (for Pádraig, Irish for Patrick), not St. Patty’s Day (Patty is short for Patricia). ☘️

    “I will be filing a bill tomorrow that will prohibit gun manufacturers from putting assault rifles in circulation. Violators will face significant fines. Children are family.” Fixed it for you .

    I will be filing a bill tomorrow that will prohibit airlines from putting animals in overhead bins. Violators will face significant fines. Pets are family.

    Most of my tattoos are related to dogs and pie/pi, so I fully back this. Happy pi day!

    Today is Pie Day, so I will celebrate all of the adoptable dogs who look like pies! (note: don't actually feed dogs chocolate). Let's start with Amos, Art Vandeley, Baskets, and Bear Grylls. For more information, visit

    Prescriptivist grammar is shallow Its rules are for fossils to hallow The language is changing So answers are ranging As to whether an edit is callow

    Sometimes it’s best to pause everything else and take your dog to see the Mississippi River because he’s old and it makes him happy.

    This! I ask on every manuscript—not because I think authors don’t know how their names are spelled, but because it’s easy to mistype and not catch the error when their focus moves to the main text. Better a query than an erratum.

    : Never underestimate an author’s ability to misspell their own name.

    Probably high-five the kid?

    Parents, what would you do if your child lectured and ridiculed a U.S. Senator on national television?

    “Wednesday’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was the 30th mass shooting—a shooting in which four or more people are killed or injured—of 2018. It was also the 17th time a gun has been fired on the grounds of an American school this year.”

    We must do more than pray for families who lost loved ones. It is time to address gun violence to prevent future deaths and injuries - action is long overdue. ()

    I’d argue that are valuable, but vetting through and are needed for clear, consistent, and correct data and shouldn’t be sacrificed in the interest of saving money and time. 2/2
