I left Twitter in a huff when Elon took the helm and I've just landed here. Poking around, looking for "my people," I found you again. I hadn't realized how much I missed your cleverness. You are a breath of fresh air! Truth: I was afraid to comment, lest I made a mistake in grammar or punctuation. Then I said fuck it, and here we are. You are endlessly entertaining. Thank you for that.
Yesterday, writing an email, I hesitated at inserting a Comma of Doom, and then succumbed to English-teacher convention and left it out. Now I regret that (but not too much; it was only an email).

Well said.
"Comma of Doom." I love it.

Also, I might have to borrow "the red dots of judgment," although not without proper attribution…and probably footnotes and parentheticals.
By all means!
I love “stood by itself against its hills.” Double “it” as well as double “hill.”
