She is organizing this event to support the Alzheimer's Association which has touched so many of us. It's also intensely personal for her, as her husband (also an author) is battling this disease as well This event is going to be awesome.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Frustrated at work by co-worker saying "It won't take the place of the writer, but I used Co-Pilot to put the meeting into a step by step document." But we all know how customers are, as soon as they can automate something (good or bad) they start cutting! I'll keep doing my manual writing.
