It has been such a privilege to work with these minds. The brainstorming and planing itself has taught me so much. I am confident that the conference will prove to be of great value for all attendees. #AmEditing #AdvEds

I wish people outside of Canada would stop trying to tell us we are actually "American." We never ever ever call ourselves American. Please respect how we refer to ourselves.

The man who proclaimed to the world that “white solidarity is the only way to survive” is incapable of grasping his own pathetic supremacism because, he insists, he got a half-Indian person pregnant. I’m sick of hearing how “smart” this dull, self-adoring, half-wit bigot is.

Pierre Berton said that a Canadian is someone who knows how to have sex in a canoe. I can't confirm this, but I can confirm that a Canadian is someone who knows that American beer is like sex in a canoe: fucking close to water.

Will Farage, Musk etc be condemning white people in general for the actions of this violent white person, and advocating rage or violence in response? Will the BBC be laundering their 'legitimate concerns' about those white folks?

I grew up watching cricket, which meant listening to a lot of different Englishes. When I wrote some of that English in school, I was mocked and reprimanded by my English teacher. Why? Cuz I didn't follow all the rules she was teaching us. This is a good reminder why it's okay to break "rules".

First, we look inward. We look at our editing. We work to break down barriers. And we work to be more inclusive, opening the doors to others who have been traditionally left out. #Editors26

Sorry, lovely people, but I'm not both-siding genAI. It's killing our planet, it's destroying people's lives and brains, it's enriching the already too rich. Yes, having conversations about it and educating people is important, but to me, that doesn't include acceptance or working with users.
