Slightly overcast today on my morning #stetwalk. Still good to see some #nature. 😊

Morning #stetwalk by the lake! 😊

This is your chance to vote for Oxford’s Word of the Year. corp.oup.com/word-of-the-....

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Night night sweet dreamies I have deep respect for people with pure hearts and good intentions. It’s rare to find someone who’s genuinely kind, so if you’re lucky enough to have one in your life, keep them close. People like that are worth holding on to

Excellent article and interview with Molly McCowan on AI and copy editing!

Built a little #succulent #garden today! 🌵💚 Will add more succulents later 😊 #succulents #cactus #nature #gardening #plantsky #succulentsaturday #saturdaygarden

Night night sweet dreamies It’s okay to feel what you feel. You’re not exaggerating. You’re not too much. You’re allowed to feel hurt, to struggle, to take your time. Your feelings are valid, always Please hold on Please don’t give up

This is adorable! She even picked a bag to match the outfit! 🥰

Had such a good time interviewing Ellen Jovin and Brandt Johnson @grammartable.bsky.social about their movie Rebel With A Clause for #ciep2025!

So lovely to have a live Q&A with @susiedent.com at the #ciep2025 conference!

Editors! Have you heard about the new CIEP Competency Framework? It's a tool for editors to assess skills, spot gaps, and plan their CPD. It's free to use, and you do not have to be a member to use it. Join the webinar to find out more! #amediting #CIEP #editorlife #professionaldevelopment

Hi Editors, OpenAI’s new “cookbook” for agents is out, but it’s pretty code-heavy. Custom GPTs are still the easiest way to build something useful into your workflow without coding. I'm thinking of doing a workshop on that. Would that be helpful? Let me know. #amediting #editorlife

Early morning #stetwalk and coffee with a friend… got my ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆

The two most common questions I get asked about AI are “which AI should I use” and “how do I start using AI?” I wrote a short guide attempting to answer both questions. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/using-ai-r...

Hope to see you there! #CIEP #editing #academicediting #nonfictionediting #fictionediting #aiforeditors

🤖 A recent study claims that AI has passed the Turing test, with GPT-4.5 being judged as human 73% of the time. 💬 What does that mean for editors, researchers, and writers? 🔗 www.the-independent.com/tech/ai-turi... #AI #editing #language #TuringTest

📰 Interesting NYT article: Is it worth saying "please" and "thank you" to AI? I think word choice matters, even with machines. It shapes how we communicate. What do you think? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/t... #AI #editing #language #communication
