I still see blue checks in Twitter that need to reply with "*you're" kinda bullshit. I do reread some of my posts and I see them littered with mobile edits or just bullshit language that only made sense to my brain at 2am. Thanks everybody for being chill about language. I still (wrongly) imagine that I'm very good with writing, and seeing my own writing some time after it's been published is a nice kick of humility.

    I love "writing properly", because when I see a word properly spelled, or good grammar, my brain thinks it's pretty, so I really like spelling and grammar and so on.

    But I know that linguistic prescriptivism is bullshit, and the first cop you have to kill before the revolution is the cop in your own head. So fuck that reddit ass "u misspelled your argument is invalid" bs.
