My ability to proofread increases by 1000% after I hit “Submit”.

this is often because when you’ve submitted something (like fanfiction to ao3) it will be in a different font, size and framing than in your word processor. The text will look different in the new environment so your brain stops skipping what looks familiar (like a typo that has been there since the beginning).

So, tip: revise your work in a different font and size. I guarantee you’ll catch more typos and mistakes than otherwise.

For all my writers (ones I follow and the ones that thankfully follow me)

Indigenous women hope to trademark textiles to fight intellectual property theft

Guatemala is recognized throughout the world for the quality of its intricately handwoven textiles. Maya women have used them to make huipiles that, over hundreds of years, have come to represent an important part of their cultural identity.

The designs have become popular among contemporary designers who steal them without communicating with the Maya communities, without compensation, or respect to Maya people’s intellectual property, and use them to create appropriated “fashion accessories”. Maya women aren’t happy about that and have started a legal battle to trademark their work.

But as Correspondent Harris Whitbeck reports, it’s not just a dispute about textiles. It’s a fight for women’s and Indigenous rights.
