You can do what I do, use en dashes in the place of em dashes because I am too lazy to click 3 times--or do parentheses--2 clicks will do. Too lazy to be a bot.

Every time a Brit I know has lost weight, they report the tally in stone. They then refuse to clarify what a stone is in any other system.

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪
