Now that the US has gone extra stupid about it, I'm doubling down on adding my preferred pronouns to things. And I'm adding back ones I previously decided I wasn't interesting enough to support.
She/her, but thou canst "they" me, an thou list.
Weirdly, one of the pieces of copyright advice I find myself giving people most often is: "The copyright owner can do what they like with it."
It's weird how people default to thinking that copyright restrictions apply to the copyright owner as well as everyone else.
I literally said these words in a gym, in a casual conversation last night:
"APA is Harvard, AMA is Vancouver, Chicago is two styles – one Harvard and one Documentary Note (like AGLC) and MLA is just special".
The person who prompted this then asked follow up questions.
Almost my first thought on seeing this (straight after "what bill did some idiot try to pass?") was "did the hansard transcriber have to write out the entire Haka, inlcuding the names of everyone and the parts they performed, or did they just write 'there was a Haka'"?
There's a lot more flexibility in referencing styles than we initially think
Tip: When you have multiple works to cite but you want to draw a reader's attention to one in particular, you can cite it first and then use “see also” before the remaining citations in alphabetical order.

(Paraphrased) quote of the day from a workshop I'm in: "Give focus and attention to *good* practice, as opposed to *best* practice"
I think sometimes we forget that "one stop shop" and "single point of failure" can be the same thing
I was just having a look through my Tweets to see if I come across as "not professional" to anyone who found me on this platform. I come across as a nerd. That's what I come across as.
Did I tell you all I eventually bought the CMoS t-shirt? The APA shirt was too expensive.
ALT A woman wearing a yellow t-shirt with a retro-looking logo reminiscent of a band in the 1970s, bearing the text "The Chicago Manual of Style". The photo is taken from the neck down to just below the logo. It's a very groovy t-shirt, and makes whoever is wearing it instantly way cooler than they looked wearing a boring, ordinary t-shirt.
That moment when you finally understand what a shirt means, and then wonder why it exists: cmosshoptalk.com/2019/07/30/…
I mean, a) those dots look like they're already spaced, so why give the editing instruction to add spaces? and b) who is so enamoured with spacing elipses they'll pay for it to be on a shirt? I'm a nerd, and even *I* think that's excessively nerdy
This is the actual shirt, btw: chicagomanual.threadless.com…
