How we write

Fresh is a promise, so every line goes through the same line of checks.

First drafts

AI writing tools help with first drafts of the lines and the notes around them. The rest is handwork.

Picked over by hand

An editor reads each line as a message to a real person, trims it, checks the native script and Roman spelling on language shelves, and discards anything that smells like a forward.

No famous names

Quotes by famous people are left off these shelves entirely; their words belong to them, and searches for them are deliberately not served. What you copy here is original.

Kept kind

Sad lines heal, funny lines tease situations not people, festival lines stay warm and secular.
