She/her. Writer and editor, looking and listening, empathizing with the reader, thinking about the world.
Lord, deliver me from required fields that are not applicable.
Knowing WHEN and WHERE to look things up—and how to interpret what the source tells you—is part of what makes a good editor.
Saying goodbye to my kids as they head out to school. "I love you," I say out loud. "I hope you don't get shot," I say in my head.
I was glad to see this update from @APStylebook. It was incarceration, not internment. They were U.S. citizens imprisoned for no crime.
Among the welcome updates announced last week by @APStylebook, its guidance calling for “incarceration” over “internment” merits wider attention. For those who have advocated on this matter, it’s a game changer. Thank you again, @AP friends. cc: @aaja @AAAStudies @DenshoProject

Early April: When all of Seattle tries to remember where it left its sunglasses last October.
Hey @NPR, I love hearing @ayesharascoe in leading host & reporter roles on the air! More voices of people of color, please—supported and paid well.
Like vs Such as: Someone in the audience said “‘such as’ sounds stilted.” @meperl (with enthusiasm) “That’s a nice way of saying ‘this rule should dieeeeeeee’.” #ACES2022CritThinking #ACESEmerge
Moved to at last see this new #APStylebook addition on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. #ACESEmerge #ACES2022
Thrilled that there’s a whole new #APStylebook chapter on Inclusive Storytelling & Language. “It is not a ‘topic’ to be explored here and there. [It] should be part of everyday conversations, decision-making and coverage.” #ACESEmerge #ACES2022

The AP Stylebook eds promise “a lot of meaty updates” in the new changes about to be revealed. A nerdy frisson goes through the room. 🤓 #ACESEMERGE #ACES2022
When you’re barreling through a busy hotel lobby toward the coffeeshop, and you randomly pick up one word of a conversation as you pass, and that word is “Scrabble,” and you know you’re among your people. #ACESEmerge #ACES2022
And if you haven’t already read this amazing thread that Lawson started, just do yourself a favor and read it—but not in public unless you enjoy cry-laughing among strangers. #ACESEmerge thebloggess.com/2015/11/02/and…
“You guys are what make writers the best possible us.” —Jenny Lawson, author, creator of the Bloggess (speaking to a room of editors ❤️) #ACESEmerge #ACES2022
#ACESEMERGE folks: all ppl should use a microphone when asking questions. It’s not up to the person speaking whether they need a mic—it’s up to those trying to hear. You don’t know who has hearing challenges; you don’t get to decide whether others can hear you. #Accessibility
Just used the word “stalking” in a joking way & immediately regretted it. Stalking is real & traumatic; casual use minimizes that. Even if you spend a LOT of time focused on #ConsciousLanguage, old habits & enculturation are there. Hope I’m always working to do better. #ACES2022
This came up in my memories today, from my first ACES conference. Still true and always will be! #ACESEmerge #ACES2022
TIL about myself: I could listen to people talk about dictionaries ALL DAY. That's normal, right? #ACES2016
“I used to do the twerk test, but that’s getting old.” —@EditorMark, ruthlessly taken out of context 😁 #ACESEMERGE #ACES2022
