  1. Hey, fellow freelance editorial peeps. Is #EditorSprint still a thing? Could it be again, once a week maybe?

    No phones. No socials. Just focus for one hour. Comment with your goal beforehand, and check back in after to see how it went.

    Anyone in?

  5. Usually, I don’t comment on people’s typos on social media.

    However, in a hair group for wavy and curly folk, someone commented on wearing “space bums” in their hair, and I thought that was one of the cutest typos ever, and I had to let them know. 🚀

  7. Just recommended one of my favorite accessibility checkers to a client whose color scheme might make their words hard for their users to read. Especially tricky when it's tiny rules text on cards in a game! That this tool has an eyedropper makes me happy. Try it here: webaim.org/resources/contrastc
