I wanted to take a nap but SOMEONE decided it was time to meow for half an hour

(it was my cat)

I don't know why, but there seem to be these trends in the manuscripts I'm sent to edit. Mistakes that suddenly become common and then fade away again. The most recent seems to be an allergy to past perfect tense. "HAD" IS NOT AN OPTIONAL WORD YOU CUT FOR BREVITY.

i'm so glad that this sort of infrastructure exists because like, i feel like i can post shit here without fascist bastards trying to make me feel bad lmao

I guess I should do ? I'm a SFF writer and inexplicably an M/M romance editor, an angry lesbian, just a little too old to be Millennial but I strongly relate, emo like a short chubby lady Morrissey, just enough of a tech nerd to be dangerous, desperately in need of people who will pay me for any kind of wordsmithery. Also a big geek, <3 Transformers, Marvel, SFF fiction, gaming, WoW, etc.

who is tooting when she should be doing editing work IT ME

I have a feeling Mastodon is going to need a Goldilocks approach: Try a few different instances until one is Just Right.
