Ashley @briefslayer.bsky.social · 13hThe best part was sharing this with someone who met me with contempt and said, “that’s what you’re proud of today? That you caught a typo?” It’s wild how people who claim to love you feel it’s okay to put you down. Anyway, we all deserve better, and it’s okay to say I don’t need this in my life. 2120
Ashley @briefslayer.bsky.social · 13hThis one time I felt incredibly proud of myself that I was the only one in a long line of reviewers who caught a similar misspelling of United States. My thinking was that I didn’t want the public to go, “they can’t even do that?” And it’s an easy error because the spellcheck won’t catch it. 151
