I’ve been using the hashtag #StetWalk on Twitter and Instagram, and every time I do, someone asks what #StetWalk is, so here’s a quick explanation. It’s a hashtag that editors use to post pictures they took while they were out walking. Editors tend to be sedentary, and we can all use some encouragement to get out of the office and get moving!
It started a few weeks ago when Tanya Gold, who goes by @EditorTanya on Twitter and Instagram, posted about how she had fallen out of her habit of daily walks. She asked if anyone else was having the same problem and if people wanted to do something fun to hold each other accountable. She said, “I've done photo exchanges with friends over the years and have always loved being able to see how others see the world. And what better way to show you've been somewhere and done something than taking a photograph?”
Tanya asked some friends to help her come up with a name, and she liked Heather Saunders’ suggestion the best: #StetWalk. [Here's Heather on Twitter.]
Heather said, “I brainstormed a tag with the goal that it'd be fun, memorable, and related to editing. But most of all, I wanted it to be cheerful so it would be fun to post. I liked the playfulness of #StetWalk because it combines a term that means ‘let it stand’ with doing anything but standing still—walking, running, even simply getting outside for a minute.”
I’m more of a writer and podcaster these days than an editor, but anyone can participate. Heather said, “I was thrilled when Tanya came up with this idea and am beyond pleased to see it growing into a supportive community of editors, freelancers, and remote workers, all sharing pics of our daily adventures as we get outside to better our physical and mental health.”
