I was BEYOND excited that Simon & Schuster chose me to do the copyediting on Kamala Harris's new book. I'm legally bound not to show you too much before its September release, but they allowed me to share a small sneak behind the curtain at the process of editing such a monumental work.

"Now throw it out and make it the way you need." is, to many folks, the Agile way. They see that as a good thing, rather than a bad thing.

i don't use the word lightly but antonov was an actual visionary. his eye for art direction was unlike any other and has been so incredibly inspiring. one of the few who's work you could instantly recognise.
this is heartbreaking

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Someone who had worked at Blizzard for 21 years doxxed me in a right wing of gaming server held up of gamer gate roaches. It’s disgusting, it shouldn’t happen and it shouldn’t be accepted.
