I generally cleave to the advice from Strunk & White's The Elements of Style when it comes to avoiding the passive voice, except when I'm asked what happened to the last piece of cake.

"It became eaten."

@BathysphereHat I dunno; I think a lot of what is being framed as leftist antisemitism is instead #invertedantisemitism which works more like a honeypot rhetorical device to distort conversation by focusing on edge-cases and ‘personal truths’. This tactic is used to incite emotional knee-jerk reactions, the content is then fed back into the hallucinatory #trumpling blogosphere, or worse—to capture names, images, #voiceprint writing #elementsofstyle etc. to profile and dox.

I’m again reading Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style.

It’s good to do so every once in awhile; I fall into bad habits.
