I'm working on a presentation for fiction writers about making friends with Microsoft Word, particularly during editing (whether self-editing or processing editorial feedback). Tell me your top tips or questions/frustrations!

@eliotedits @edibuddies @writers Top tip for Word? LibreOffice. I am not moved by the excuses.

Listening to the audio of This Is Your Brain On Sports by L. Jon Wertheim and Sam Sommers.

I wish I had read it closer to its 2016 pub date. 8 years later, parts are a little outdated. Example: in a list of active QBs at the time, several had yet to reach their peak. Now they're seasoned veterans or retired.

Amusingly, when quoting PK Subban, the narrator gave him a French accent. Subban grew up in Toronto.

@bookstodon

Hockey player PK Subban, who is not French and does not speak with a French accent, posing in a gold and navy Nashville Predators jersey, hockey gloves, and holding a hockey stick.

@dbsalk @bookstodon I guess because he played in Montreal before going to Nashville. Or maybe it's the way some Americans used to think that if you were Canadian you came from Quebec. Kind of like everyone south of the border is Mexican, eh?

Dumbing-down library book shelves in Canada!

"Empty shelves with absolutely no books". Students, parents question school board's library weeding process.

Books published in 2008 or earlier removed from school library amid confusion around new equity-based process in Toronto. Really? Censorship or ineptness?

Government reacts and shuts down the practice.

@RogerRemacle @bookstodon Did the librarians do this to highlight the stupidity of the process?
