Hi all: my fall editorial calendar is booked up but I'm currently taking clients for indexing and developmental editing for winter 2024. I don't yet have a website so I thought I'd do a brief thread with some recent titles I've worked on:.

ask me how many times the heat, elevators and electrical wiring (including sparking outlets) have failed in the building I teach in on this campus.
U of Chicago is going to merge humanities departments and downscale its language offerings in part because. the institution spent too much money on construction projects. Its endowment: over $10 billion. Are there any leaders in higher ed who *want* to save the humanities?.

"feels so good" is one of those cultural artifacts you encounter first as a punchline and then later realize how beautiful it actually is.

"wowwwww, that's such a nice duck," I say, as I have every day for the last 9 months.

that thing where a dog comes in the room with a toy not necessarily to play with it but just to let you admire it, pretty good.

instead of responding to those who disagree I am choosing to use my limited resources wisely, which is why I don't assign bullshit AI assignments that waste everyone's time and water on our dying fucking planet.
if it's not hard to tell, maybe the exercise wasn't worth the gallons of water it cost in the first place

I would say this to her directly but she blocked me years ago before I knew she/her account existed.

maybe it's because I'm writing a thing about AI but I'm encountering sentences that don't make any sense from a range of media (journalism, reviews, advertising copy, posts here) at an alarming rate.

One of the things that made the core the wonder that it was: its skilled and dedicated writing instructors, who are also victims of "restructuring".
I sat in on one of UChicago's humanities core classes in like 2017 or something and was incredibly impressed with what these freshman and sophomore were reading and doing. And all my life I've been surrounded by people who actually learned something there as undergrads.
