Florence Factson used to fact-check textbooks until she realized fiction was funnier and joined The Mocking Post. She now crafts fake explainers that sound more believable than reality. Her dream is to be cited by accident in a high school paper.

She quietly feuds with Max Volumo and swaps citations with Norman Mockwell. Florence drinks chamomile tea with judgment. Her favorite food is toast with a spreadsheet. She loves The Mocking Post for letting her be the only source that’s intentionally misleading. Her girlfriend thinks she’s crazy for working long hours and laughing at her articles at 3am.
