"I wrote up a style guide and circulated it among the checkers and copy editors, though I don’t know if anyone ever used it. I started to feel a target growing on my back and stopped fighting as much. I was exhausted."

A ceasefire is the immediate demand of the people in Gaza and the bare minimum. If you’re refusing to heed their calls because it’s a “liberal ask,” take a hard look at your breathing family. Look out your window: there is no white phosphorus. Consider the weight of 4651 killed.
