Today is literally the first time I open Bsky in like a month, just randomly (procrastinating). I am now convinced this summoned me. YES!!!!!!!!!!!! 90s JONI YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Magdalene Laundries is unreal, and Sire of Sorrow might just be my fav Joni song of all time.
Howard Beale Street Blues@winteron.bsky.social · 2mo agomight have a new favorite Joni Mitchell album (shhh, don’t tell HEJIRA)
I'm gonna be stepping away from Bluesky because it's just incredibly dead on my end and I find it depressing to get literally no interaction on the regular. I'll check in here and there in case anyone I talk to on here DMs me. If there are any active editing groups on Slack, please let me know!
OK it was Dirty Dancing and I think I'll be stepping away from this platform lmfao (won't delete bc I do use this to DM a few edibuddies I chat with here and there)

Guess the classic 80s movie I'm abt to watch for the first time
Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.
Ugjhh she's so fkn cool I can'tttttt 😍 😍 😍 Literally so random I've gotten to see the same Puerto Rican rapper twice in Oslo of all places. Oslo World don't miss 🥰
Any chance the automatic refresh could be disabled/not default, @merriam-webster.com? It is extremely distracting when you keep a dictionary tab open as you work through a manuscript! #AmEditing
Just thought "ahh, so ready for bed!" and I looked at the time and it's not even 8 p.m. 😐
Just know that if you find a mistake in a published book, sometimes, the editor DID flag it and change it, and the author changed it back and said, no, I'd rather it be wrong. :) #amediting #freelanceediting #bookeditor #booksky
I should use my self-employed privilege tomorrow and do a little lake swimming before it gets busy busy busy after regular work hours hmmm 🤔
Sarah@sarahkchasse.bsky.social · 4mo agoI used my self-employment privilege* to go to Trader Joe's at 10 am on a Wednesday, and it was the most peaceful experience. No battling the masses to get to the hummus! No deep breathing because it's so crowded! Ain't life grand? *Shoutout to @erinkmaher.bsky.social for "self-employment privilege"
Truly trying to savor every second of what will probably be my last tolerable summer weatherwise 😅
Got a new Dell Laptop at work & it comes with a COPILOT KEY next to the right Alt button. I thought OK, I can surely disable this key or remap it to Ctrl. Oh my friends, no. I was foolish. Searching for help came across this, Dell agents aren't even allowed to discuss remapping the copilot key.
"I don't care enough about my own prose to examine it myself" wow nice can't wait to read
Erik Hane@erikhane.bsky.social · 4mo agomore and more queries and project descriptions these days come in saying things like "I wrote the book of course--I only had AI check for grammar/help with line revision/etc." I just want to be clear: I do not want to see projects that have undergone that step
Lmao finally hit 100 followers yay 🥴 (I rly don't mind that much and all that but I think by only joining Bsky relatively recently instead of when the main exodus happened I missed my chance of ever getting close to the number of followers I had back on Twitter)
SICK of sounding like 💩 in EADGBE, going back to DADGAD, which so perfectly masks my lack of both knowledge AND technique... and talent! 🤗
Working on a MS that's *really* not my cup of tea and trying to get some perspective and be positive by reframing it as "how lucky am I that I often get to work on books that are really cool" #AmEditing
Reminder to every one of my oomfies here that first and foremost I'm a Joni Mitchell FREAK 🙏
Went from two romance jobs back to back to an action-heavy thriller. My style sheets went from different ways to style bodily fluids and descriptions of people's genitals to names of weapons and helicopters. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a clear preference. Guess which?! 🙈 #AmEditing
The entire Microsoft 365 lineup runs so unreliably, slows down my computer processes, and frustrates our clients by asking them to log in even when they don't need to. But at least it's also an expensive subscription with poor integrations that also occasionally deletes saved folders for no reason.
Look at Figure 1, & you'll understand why "Exploring the Dermatological Applications of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome: A Comprehensive Review" was #retracted. Was published in Stem Cell Research & Therapy. #PeerReview? Ha! link.springer.com/article/10.1... link.springer.com/article/10.1...
At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/
Boost your productivity with invasive, distracting, mostly incorrect summaries of emails you didn't want to read!
Under no fucking circumstances will I give ChatGPT or any other "AI" permission to access my credit cards, and certainly not to debit cards or my to bank accounts, which don't have the same fraud protections credit cards do.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 4mo agoVisa is embedding its payment network into ChatGPT, allowing the chatbot to shop and complete transactions for users.
me: hey can I expense $10 to make a spreadsheet employer: Absolutely not me: hey can I spend $10 worth of company tokens to have ChatGPT make a shitty spreadsheet I will have to put even more work into to fix manually employer: yes 💖
