My 84yo Dad called to ask if I got his message today. I hadn’t. “Where did you send it?” I asked. “Online,” he said. Narrows it down… 😏 “Facebook? Instagram? LinkedIn?” Nah, fam. Presenting my first-ever completed form inquiry from my newly revamped site — & my Dad’s first-ever completed form.
A completed form in Notion from Fred Silverman. What’s the essence of your challenge & how I might help? His answer: Call me. Who do I thank for referring you? His answer: Call me I’m somewhat wasted. 😂

Having something to say and saying it beautifully are distinct pursuits. We can talk about the AI em-dash situation all you like. But another pervasive issue for me is the use of a foot mark where a proper apostrophe should be (option-shift-]). Here are just a few recent examples 🙄 #copyediting

Margo and I did a thing: www.jaifatigue.com #AI #fatigue
hand lettering that says “j’ai un coup de fatigue” which translates to “I’m feeling very tired” — with a visual emphasis on being tired of AI

Hey @vanderbilt.edu — you’re using an ancient style of two spaces after a period. It’s on your portal for CCA faculty to submit their information to you, after the first Welcome! and also after Bay Area. #scholarlyexcellence #collaboration

And all the planning and the love and group excitement got me thinking that I will do the same for my 60th. Six years from now (imma start saving so folks can say yes). Started a list and sent out save the date texts. Some folks are like “whoa, that’s a long ways from now…” Others stay READY. 🤘🏻😎❤️‍🔥

The cupcake chop. Harder than it looks to split evenly. Also I moved houses yesterday did 16,000 steps and got five hours sleep, so. I will practice more. @conniechiiiwa.bsky.social was kind to let me have my 15% of it. 🙃

Ode to an unmade bed, one hastily departed, instead of a weekend laze. These days are long and tiring, summer's rays shortening, as the season's expiring. Tucking every moment close and tight, before autumn steals the light.
An unmade bed with light gray tone on tone stripe sheets, and a dark gray comforter and dark gray pillows. Lit by one lightbulb (not pictured). In the corner, a monstera leaf or two.
