I want to see all the pretty colours!
Yes, the eagle-eyed among you will have spotted the deliberate error — I’m not supposed to be here. I haven’t finished my essays yet (please send coffee. And brain cells), but while I’m not writing here at the moment, I’m still reading.
My morning routine is shower, coffee, then read news in bed (setting myself up for a terrible day by putting my brain in a reactive state, or whatever claptrap the productivity wankers are banging on about now). News for me is the paper and my Medium Daily Digest.
So yes, I’m still around and I’m reading stuff here that makes me angry. Anger drives me to write, and so here we are. Hopefully this will be quick.
I’m sick to bloody death of people complaining about Medium’s most prolific highlighter (linked article not a complaint, btw). It’s rude and it’s mean and it’s completely unnecessary.
Oh I’m so sorry you had to deal with someone showing appreciation for your work. I know how hard it can be; just last week my boss told me my writing had been “really on-point lately” (yes, we’re actually that pretentious in marketing) and I had to take the next day off sick to cope with the stress.
