Thanks to the many free and easy-to-use tools, making infographics is no longer an exclusive realm for elite techies. For infographics to be effective, it’s crucial for the text and images to work well together. We posted this article to help people create distinctive and powerful infographics and, judging by the click rate, many of you found it useful.
The pen (and indeed the keyboard) is mightier than the sword, and unfortunately, can be equally destructive. As writers, we can use our words to empower people, but we can unwittingly cause offense and hurt if we’re not careful. In this post, we offered advice on how to write sensitively about disability.
Using expletives in your writing can add emphasis, but swearing isn’t appropriate for every audience. That’s where made-up curse words can come in handy. In this post, we looked at what makes insults like “nerfherder” and “mudblood” so effective and why you should never call a Klingon a “p’tahk.”
