So sue me, I don't usually choose to spend my weekends reading about abortion, but this was a fantastic read! A great example of how graphic novels can engage us on topics we might not ordinarily explore

The global coverage is fascinating, and counters the U.S.-centrism of media coverage about abortion.

*Graphic novel of the week! 'The A Word: A Global History of the Abortion Struggle', written and illustrated by @elibd.bsky.social and Higinia Garay and translated by Karen Simon, is a beautifully drawn, informative, and engaging exploration of the subject @astiberri.com @rachfreedleton.bsky.social

One of the biggest secrets I learned as an acquisitions editor is that I get to decide which review is “Reviewer 2”… #editsky #academicediting #amediting

It’s never not capitalism.

Why yes, I *DID* buy a baby wrap so that the cat will let me work in peace. Am I just reinforcing bad behaviour? #amediting #editsky #academicediting

A couple of months ago, I got to chat with John Loeppky about how scholarly and creative writing practices can complement each other. Check out the full article in University Affairs: universityaffairs.ca/career-advic... #creativewriting #academicwriting #writingpractice #adventuresinediting

"Readers are needy creatures, Morrison’s letters suggest, demanding both drama and organization, the space and information to make discoveries themselves yet a clear enough path so as not to feel lost." As true of academic and nonfiction as of novels, IMO. lareviewofbooks.org/article/ther...

Fridays are for feeling tired and ready for the weekend and watching favourite movies that are reliably soothing even the millionth time through. #editors #editorsofbsky #amediting #10thingsihateaboutyou

I can’t wait for our next long drive to listen to this episode!

Thursdays are for responding to emails about Mondays' contracts, and writing emails, and wanting a nap, and thanking the stars that this coming weekend is a long weekend here. #editors #editorsofbsky #aweekinthelife

Wednesdays are for waking up at 4am with a migraine, and wondering why it isn’t Thursday yet. #editors #editorsofbsky #paidsickdayssavelives

I routinely send authors who are drafting their response to peer reviews (especially first-time authors) to Laura's advice.

Tuesdays are for to-do lists, checking things off to-do lists, and adding even more things to to-do lists. #editors #editorsofbsky

@editrix-rachel.bsky.social as one knitting-editing-Rachel to another, hi! And if you have some time, would you be up for an “editing comics” chat?

Mondays are for writing contracts, and reading contracts, and negotiating contracts, and getting contracts signed, and filing contracts, and writing emails about contracts. #editors #editorsofbsky

In honor of Natalie Zemon Davis, I highly recommend this essay. Important words for our moment, as well. www.nybooks.com/online/2013/...

I've just gone online and learned of the death of Natalie Zemon Davis, a brilliant and generous scholar who never stopped being curious. At 92 she said to me, "So interesting what scholars in trans history are doing!" A role model. #EarlyModern

I join the chorus today remembering Natalie Zemon Davis. She shone as an early modernist, feminist scholar, mentor, activist; her generosity extended to students from all disciplines. She wrote to me once to ask after my research; I immediately bragged to my mum. May her memory be a blessing.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

It’s a cold, gray #caturday here, and local cat is currently being annoying. #catsofbsky

I'm spending my lunch time listening to Marina Warner on "Viral Spiral: Multiple Shape-shifting from Ovid to Covid." Like so many, "Alone of All Her Sex" was a foundational text in my early academic development, and I might be fan-girling a little bit here. #complit #fairytales #academicidol

This is resonating strongly with me lately… sadly, most of the resonations are on the inside of my skulll…
