Bri Castellini takes on Outward Displays of Empathy – @brisownworld
by Bri Castellini
About a month ago, Quinn and I were having dinner with a friend who was discussing a personal situation that had gone sour fast. He was explaining the story and the various causes for the souring, including the personalities and quirks of each person, and gestured to me saying “you know what I mean, Bri.

This had not been a problem previously. Back to that later), and the most hysterically false statement of all time.

More of ‘The Elements of Style’

Today, for those who may think we didn’t emphasize the book enough, (yo, you know who you are and so do any intelligence agents reading our email) we bring you another perspective on Messers Strunk and White:
And if that still isn’t enough, here’s – well, here’s the wholemother-!@#ing book. And you don’t even have to read it:
