Hey Bluesky!
I'll lose my job in ~1 month, and I'm not eligible for any unemployment benefits. The job market in Belgium really sucks rn, so I could definitely use some work as a freelance.

If you're looking for AI-free, high quality French localisation for your indie game, I'd love to help! πŸ‘‹

I just asked ChatGPT what Lynne Murphy thinks about antonymy. When I wasn't logged in, it gave me a pretty poor answer (a little incoherent, not hitting my key points). Then I logged in and it gave me a much better answer, with 'Cambridge Assets' citation. ...

Remembering Wesley LePatner I met Wesley in 1985, during the summer we both turned four. Until last Monday, our lives always seemed to run on parallel tracks.

Last week, I became someone who knew someone killed in a mass shooting. Here's my remembrance of Wesley, across the decades. www.newyorker.com/news/postscr...

Iconic Animator Chuck Jones Creates an Oscar-Winning Animation About the Virtues of Universal Health Care (1949) While our country looks like it might be coming apart at the seams, it’s good to revisit, every once in a while, moments when it did work.

How many times a week do I get a Word file from a UK person & find all their UK spellings in red underline? (I dunno, but it's twice so far today.) It's so easy to changeβ€”the language is right there at the bottom of the window. Click it & change it!

Structured writing retreats are odd-sounding things if you haven't tried one. If writing is solitary, why write in the company of others?

One answer is to liken a structured writing retreat & its facilitator to your yoga class & instructor.
