Well&#8230; &#8220;Dana Honey Badger&#8221;, that is.\u00a0 I can never truly not give a *$&amp;@.\u00a0 That is not in my DaNA. I suppose what I mean is that I am letting my authentic voice be heard.\u00a0 In order for this to happen, my writing is conversational, and not through an APA-filter.\u00a0 If I need to write a paper, I will push the APA requirements to its limits.\u00a0 If it is not a formal paper, though&#8230; look out.
