Being an editor at @wwacomics.bsky.social was one of the great joys of my life because I got to work with some incredibly talented writers early in their careers.
I learned so so much about editing from the wwac crew I basically owe my entire underpaid career to them shoutout @dogunderwater.bsky.social @illusclaire.bsky.social @ronchronchronch.bsky.social @metakate.bsky.social !!!
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

If we’re talking about Chirrut and Baze I have to add that I thoroughly enjoyed Guardians of the Whills by Greg Rucka.
Like if you enjoyed the third act and didn’t care about any of the characters doing heroic sacrifices fine ok but I think the movie did a really good war/spy movie job of giving everyone some substance and if you don’t like these guys I simply think your heart is too cold

KYUK is the only public radio station in remote Alaska that regularly broadcasts in the Yugtun language, providing a crucial lifeline to the Indigenous communities in the area.
After Congress slashed its budget, the station isn't sure how it'll survive.

Indeed. Until progressives in the Senate Democratic caucus directly challenge Schumer’s leadership it’s kind of hard to take their grousing seriously at this point. They are all in on this #SchumerSurrender politics.
Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.
