Sanderling Editorial 🌊🐦🌊

The amendment is now LIVE!!! The 17th edition was clear on this, but the 18th edition literally got rid of the one mention of this rule even though it was still supposed to apply. They've added it back thanks to moi 😎 Honestly props to the CMOS editors—they've been great! #AmEditing

Momentarily resurrecting this account to say I really can't get over MLA style wanting us to call SUNY Press *drumroll* State U of New York P Like, you actually cannot be serious about that . . . #AmEditing

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.

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)

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.

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

Love this albummmmm

Just thought "ahh, so ready for bed!" and I looked at the time and it's not even 8 p.m. 😐

I DID IT

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 🤔

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

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)

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 🙏

I still do this! Wait that's kinda my job...

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/

Hey that's me!

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.

In a better world, "large language model" would refer to a 6'5" polyglot on the cover of Vogue.

Fergalicious def—

I hate that every cute animal video is now suspect!

Nothing like open tunings (DADGAD atm) to give an extremely incompetent guitar player (🙋‍♂️) the false impression that they're suddenly really good at guitar

Backrooms was Backrooms! 🤗😅

OK bedtime . . . Good night, Joni Mitchell army! 🙏💙
