Orange is punishing a US-based international news organization because they're continuing to use "Gulf of Mexico" to provide clarity for worldwide audiences. Petty, yes. Stupid too. But I'm still giddy to see the AP Stylebook -- or any #stylebook -- mentioned in news coverage! A big day for #LanguageGuidance, #BrandGuides, and #HouseStyles everywhere! 😄

The #AP #Stylebook Just Majorly Shit the Bed
An updated #style #tip from the #APStylebook #Twitter #account. encourages #writers to avoid the term “#TERF” or #transexclusionaryradicalfeminist,” calling the #acronym both “#vague” and “#politicized.”
Let’s not forget that #TERF #ideology is, first and foremost, a #threat to #trans #existence. It is not #harmless, nor is it #apolitical.
