I appreciate S and S for being bold about blurbs, but as a 20+ year editor of academic and professional books, I love them. The book copy is for the buyer: What do I need in my collection? The blurb, often seen on the book's web page, is for the reader: What did someone really enjoy about this book?

Professional development day for teachers at my kids' school. I don't know if this was part of the decisionmaking, but Mario Kart's repetitive blinging is surprisingly easy to ignore!

I renamed a bunch of the shortcuts on my desktop, and they make so much more sense now! #workjoy

I know this is a weirdo dream, but I dream that there might someday be a way to put two—or even three!—different things onto different word processing clipboards. They would each have different keyboard commands. Yes, I'd make mistakes. It would still be transformative.

I think I got too excited about style and punctuation at book club last night. I'm cringing a little at the memory of hearing myself shout "Can we talk about hanging hyphens?"
