Madeline Miller, author of Circe and one of my favorite living writers, on the increasingly stigmatized fight to avoid reinfection while dealing with long covid:

“…how long am I going to do this? Until indoor air is safe for all, until vaccines prevent transmission, until there’s a cure for long covid. Until I’m not risking my family’s future on a grocery run. Because the truth is that however immortal we feel, we are all just one infection away from a new life.”

Once again reminding thoughtful users to please include camel-case in your hashtags— #AmEditing #AmWriting #AmReading #WritingCommunity #SmallBusiness —to assist with text-to-speech readers for vision-impaired internet users. The capitals help the readers parse the individual words, which would otherwise come out as garble.

If you believe everyone should have access to everything online, or are even excited at the thought of everyone coming to the table, please consider this practice. #a11y

Hello! My friend @JanetWordsmith and I are looking for Mastodon's editing community.

Kind and lovely (and happy) folks who raise an eyebrow at participles that dangle, commas that splice, verbs that don't align with subjects, (etc) while keeping the writer's voice.

Along with people, are there instances or hashtags to follow?
