I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

I love my workplace. I wish less people would work from home so I could enjoy it more. Though I also hate getting sick. Yet I fear I will get sick.

My god I love the new Overland print layout. I feel bad that it's because there's no money for print media but actually this pocket bible quality is so readable. Beautifully typeset. I can focus on the words without being distracted by design gunk.

And then you read the post Keynesians in the seventies and they were like yay yay yay and then after the neoliberal turn they were like ... Unreadable.

The major thing I've learnt from studying economics is how bitterness and hopelessness will just destroy your ability to write in a way that connects you with other people. Sometimes right wing economists write with such aliveness and you can tell they can do that because they're winning.

Kinda wish I could go to the gym with my dad. It's annoying that gyms aren't like libraries and I can't just walk into my dad's gym and he can't just walk into mine. I want to work out with my dad...

That feel when you project the corporate panopticon on to your nearest and dearest. this SICK world!!

Sometimes when I'm stressed and working if my housemate walks into the office I get neurotically fixated on the idea that she's watching me or judging how little work I'm getting done. I am really close to violet so know she really dgaf but it's just a mental block.

I think she's right!!! My whole workplace would probably consider her part of our priority cohort. W*g/Asian solidarity forever.

What lentil

I feel like the AI stealing entry level job stuff can only happen in an environment where universities and other forms of formal training are so degraded that yeah you really do go into many jobs maybe even worse off than someone without a credential
