On Santiam Kalapuya land
Seems to be working now, although I'm seeing slow response times there and on the Internet Archive.

Is the universe telling me it's time to donate to keep those servers running?

If I'm working with a PE, then I don't contact the author at all. The PE would do the nudging and let me know the schedule might be extended for me to do the cleanup pass.

I usually "fix" this one because I work in scholarly editing, which tends to be more strict/conventional/formal.

I will! And the @edsguild.bsky.social governing board DEI Committee made sure our members were alerted to this event also!

For example: @janefriedman.com: approach the use of AI in publishing w/o blaming & shaming. @jamaaldpittman.bsky.social: building relationships is as important as the actual editing, as is authenticity. @literarylaura.bsky.social: be compassionate to yourself about your own needs.

So let's restore programs like Title V, restore the Department of Education, and stop holding funding hostage to partisan obedience. Education is so important to a functional society.
