I am so proud of what this team has accomplished — and how they grew not only the BuzzFeed copydesk but also this newsletter and this account into something equal parts sharp, hilarious, innovative, and immeasurably valuable for writers and journalists across the internet. 😭😭😭

Our last issue of Quibbles & Bits focuses on the “past exonerative tense,” a style of language that absolves anyone of blame. buzzfeednews.com/article/eme…

We Need To Abolish The “Exonerative Tense” Of Headlines

The passive voice makes the people at the heart of a crime curiously exempt from blame.

the fact that cis straight guys are still so insistent that they have to be muscle hunks to get girls when frankly most women i know want a little elf prince, a depressed middle aged father, or a line cook, is so funny

This is a very, very good piece. (Also, never forget the day Andrew Keegan invited everyone to the bar around the corner and I ate fried alligator with the boy who was plastered on my walls in the 90s.) A very special era indeed

I wrote about six amazing, insane years working in the beating heart of the 2010s internet, the two legacies of BuzzFeed News (one is good, one is very sad)...and a whole bunch of wild office interactions like this one theatlantic.com/technology/a…

Reading @em_dash3’s World Without Whom and I start lol’ing IRL at the list of ways to type laughter, and then Hubs asks ‘What’s so funny’ and now I’m basically in hysterics. Full-on cackling… 😂

What's a book that every writer should read? I'll go first: "On Writing" by Stephen King and "A World Without 'Whom'" by @em_dash3.

I just watched Interstellar for the first time and would like to see it reimagined with the Corn Kid popping up at inopportune times

I like the phrase “wherever books are sold!” Because it sounds like the person saying it has no idea how or where to buy a book.

I have a serious & important question. Why do people in their 20s always put their age in their social media bios? Like, we get it. You have a youthful, glowing complexion. You don't need to hit us over the head with the fact that you're still vibrant and full of zest. Rude tbh

It's wild to me that there was ever a time in my life that I was excited about and not completely terrified by trendy new clothes
