repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I realize the irony of reposting this and yet

I highly endorse this sentiment and would probably follow back twice as many people if I could mute individual users’ retweets in particular. I see every big politics post like 20 times as it is and some of you guys retweet SO MUCH

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 16h

The "follow" dichotomy I always struggle with is "I want to see every single thing you post" vs. "I want you to know that I like and respect you." My Following feed is so overstuffed as it is, but I hate the idea that people I don't follow back might think that I don't appreciate them!

I just want to correct some misinformation I’ve seen going around: if your boss is a Georgia fan it’s fine to bark at her
