This interesting piece on AI made me think of Swift. Perhaps the sentiment is this generation's version of "A Modest Proposal."

A poem titled “This is for the ones” by Alicia Chantal is printed on a gradient background that looks like a sunrise. The poem reads: This is for the ones who overthought everything And couldn’t get their hair to match perfection For the ones who read under bedsheets with a flashlight Who made themselves small when they had big ideas The ones who papered their walls in beauty And journaled until the ink ran dry This is for the ones who had feelings bigger than the sky Who wore their fragile heart on their sleeve For the ones who felt they had to hide in the dark For the ones who waited quietly for the dawn The ones who waited patiently by a radio for their favourite song And poured their hearts into the perfect mixtape This is for the ones who cried during movies And laughed uncontrollably at inside jokes For the ones who hugged tight to their friends For the ones who longed for comfort The ones who struggled and went in spite of it Who danced in the rain and didn’t mind getting wet This is for the ones who were burned by first love Who were battle scarred, tender, and afraid For the ones who couldn’t get their favourite quotes out of their head And couldn’t put into words what their hearts knew Who thought they were too much but not enough And grew to find their sunshine anyway This is for you.
I am one of the millions who have discovered Heated Rivalry, a story about love and the courage to find yourself. Last week, I saw a social media prompt that asked "share something about yourself that HR ... made you love more (or love again, in a new way)." I was inspired to write. (1/2)

This is such a delightful series by the most delightful author! If you've ever felt frustrated that romance always seems to feature young adults, @brennabaileybooks.bsky.social has the cure for you!
Anyone wondering why a made in Canada story about queer hockey players celebrating consent, character, love & strong female characters (that also questions hyper-masculinity and its institutions) resonates the way it does, I invite you to take a look at today’s headlines.
Storytelling matters.
Looking forward to what promises to be a fun conversation with @freshlookediting.ca and the Academic Editing Book Club.
Also be sure to check out a recent Editors’ Weekly blog by Jamie Banks on how this book relates to academic editing.

I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to share my thoughts on authenticity reading in this week’s Editors Toronto article.

Most definitely. Yes.
A series of recent government actions has raised serious questions about free speech, press freedom, and the free flow of information. The Board of Directors of ACES: The Society for Editing condemns actions that lessen the ability of people to be heard and informed in our democracy.

Ahh, episode 6! 🤧🥹 Is it cheating to say I loved all of it? My word… I loved Ilya and Shane’s ILYs. Scott’s awards speech. The way Ilya calmed Shane when he was panicking in front of his parents (that little kiss!). The two of them playing soccer and just being free. Perfection.
What about you? ☺️
Uhh… 🫢
Thank you! You’re in for a treat, friend. 🥰
Thank you, me too! Need to be ready for the cottage. ☺️
Oh, my goodness. The way the books and show have worked their way into my heart. 🥹 Episode 5 was masterful. My heart was pounding so many times even though I knew what was coming. Have you read the books?
