Em dashes can be very useful! From Publication Manual (7th ed.) Section 6.6: "Use an em dash to set off an element added to amplify or digress from the main clause." But note, "overuse of the em dash weakens the flow of material, so use it judiciously." #copyediting (1/2)

🎶 The festive season was brought to life by the talented 7th/8th grade Treble Choir from HTMS as they visited the Board of Education to sing Christmas songs. Spreading joy, these young singers captivated employees with classic carols and heartwarming melodies. #TCSHuskies

This is beautiful, but for some reason, it fills me with hatred for sand.

Choir is not “lesser than” our education system’s classified core subjects. Teach it with the same importance as you would math or history. Advocate for its value in the development of our students personal and academic lives. Find the show here: ow.ly/9g1930s94BI

Tonight, I learned that the display for my car’s audio system uses a photo of Rick Moranis in place of Richard Harris. Never mind why this horrible song was playing.

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread: Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

CNN either got an early start on July Fools Day or is extremely late to the party on the concept of “sails.”
