Completed this wonderful course today by Crystal Shelley | Fiction Editor. Feels like one huge step towards becoming a better editor, and a slightly better human.

I'm thinking about #ConsciousLanguage and responsibility this morning (Thanks @redpenrabbit).

This quote is about the decisions you make to create a sentence just-so: including word choice, structure, and length. Readers hold you accountable for your choice of words. #writing

As an editor, I find ableist terms hiding in so many places, from business docs to picture book texts. But there's always another word available, and that's why I value Lydia X. Z. Brown's list of explanations & alternatives. Check it out: autistichoya.com/p/ableist-word… #ConsciousLanguage

Shame on you, Word 😦

MS Word suggesting I correct 'their' to 'his or her'!?!?! #InclusivityFail .

I'll stick with 'their'. Thank you very much.

'As editors, we consider how messaging will affect readers. Is it clear? Is it biased? Is it harmful? These questions are no different in healthcare environments.'

This is a call (from me via Facebook) to all #white #editors to face their #privilege and work to stop #racist #language . Let's all always use #ConsciousLanguage .

'Language around mental health has come a long way. As editors, we can honor and further that progress by using #ConsciousLanguage to avoid defining people by their conditions.'

Looking forward to attending! #editing #editors #consciouslanguage

As we navigate #WFH , sending dozens of emails a day, people of all job functions need support using #consciouslanguage . Any fellow editors/advocates know of resources/trainings that could help those outside of writing & editing enhance their conscious language skills?

Consider when identity-first language may actually be preferable to person-first language. Better to ask than to assume. (For example, person-first: 'a person who is deaf' / identity-first: 'a Deaf person.') #ConsciousLanguage #ACESchat

Oh, it's me! Thank you, Conscious Style Guide, for publishing this! #ConsciousImages #ConsciousLanguage #AmEditing
