Hey, #Editors & #WritingCommunity! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I've topped up the scholarships for all my self-paced courses again!

There's a limited number of scholarship spots for editors and writers from marginalized groups.

They're first-come, first-serve, no questions asked.

Hey, potential indexers ... ask me about my indexing course at TMU staring in January.

And, if you can't take mine, take Jola Komornicka's (@closereadingie) course. Starts a few weeks later.

Its existence has been confirmed by a reliable eye witness. The logo was supposedly added during the 1990s renovation after the Jays 1993 success. Actual creator still a rumour

In case you're wondering how reliable the MS Word "similarity check" is in its "Editor" function: it just found 10 similarities to online content in a file that is just website text collated into 46 pages. ALT: It should have flagged almost every line as existing online verbatim, but did not.

Any hints on making the mayo? I have tried the two-minute mayo that you recommended ages ago, but no luck, it's just liquid, not thick at all. I really want to be able to make mayo!!

Margaret, winter 2025: Alex is an engaging instructor who generously shares her knowledge and her expertise. Alex's feedback was perceptive and encouraging.... Alex instilled a deep appreciation for the art and craft of indexing.

A family member in Portland Oregon died unexpectedly and left behind a 2 year old husky who is currently on a 5 day hold in a shelter while I try to figure out a way to get her to me here in Portland Maine so that I can adopt her...without it costing All the Money.

Anyone have any ideas?

17:02 From DNR

The Lake George wildfire is now under control. That means the fire is responding well to suppression efforts. It is not expected to grow beyond the current estimated 288 hectares. We anticipate extinguishing it before winter conditions arrive. No structures were damaged.

LAKE GEORGE WILDFIRE UPDATE

13:00: The Lake George wildfire is still out of control and grew slightly to an estimated 288 hectares due to ongoing dry, windy conditions. No reports of damage to structures. The fire is burning deep and todayโ€™s high temperature will be a challenge.

Friends! I'm dreadful at promotion, so I'm asking for your help over the next few weeks. Book sales don't benefit me personally, but I do want #AfterTheFeast to succeed as a fundraiser.
