My Favorite Writing Tool Is My Wife

On the hidden labor of women

I’ve only skimmed Piketty but quote him extensively. I count on my editor there

Every post I write is edited by my wife (it’s not her fault). She misses typos, but she rarely misses the point. She’ll tell me if something doesn’t make sense, if it’s offensive, or if it just meanders off into a snooze. Sometimes she will just say ‘it’s fine’, and I know it’s terrible. I’ll rewrite the whole thing from scratch.
