I like to think of them as Mmmmm 💕—dashes!

I love em dashes. My colleagues had asked me to remove them because "it doesn't exist in the wild, it makes your text look AI generated." No! AI has taken soo much already from creative humanity, it won't take yet another method of personal literary expression—my personal expression—as well.

Besides, I'm all over the place—hardly concise. Anyone who thinks I'm using AI just by using em dashes should really reevaluate how they spot AI in the wild, as well as read a book—it's where you'll find all the em dashes in the wild.
