The occupational hazard dictates that one is momentarily stopped in one’s tracks by the question of Stevens’s vs. Stevenses’ (the latter being the correct plural possessive) before allowing that an apostrophe also serves to indicate omitted letters. A technicality. #ShepcatEditsEverything

This is why offset periods still matter, people. For half a second I thought the hed referred to a "Weird Al" Yankovic video, and not A.I. #ShepcatEditsEverything

Your periodic reminder because I can’t be everywhere at once and no one wants to pay me anyway:
