Just before I left Slack, we welcomed a few new hires and I gave a talk on how to write on the team without sounding like an asshole to our readers.

I have been meaning to publish this for over a year, and just finished it up today, here it is: https://a.wholelottanothing.org/2022/12/07/how-to-be-a-writer-on-a-marketing-team-without-sounding-like-a-jerk/

@hackworks thanks for the tip! Didn't know you could do that!

@JonnyT You're probably right. I'm not sure how it's going to be a non-manipulative,non- toxicity-filled platform. A part of me hopes it survives, only cos my country's activists and govt machinery depends on it so much. (They can't even maintain their websites properly, so Twitter is an easy out for them.) But a part of me that sees the toxicity wants it to die.

If you're hesitating to watch it because you think Harry & Meghan will be whinging about the royal family, don't worry. It's more about media harassment and racism.

My conclusion: If the press can tell their stories, Harry & Meghan have the right to tell THEIR story & truth too, no matter how wealthy and privileged they are. Harassment is never ok.
