WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Two weeks ago, Lisa lost her father. In August, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While we’ve hovered around this topic in recent episodes, we’ve avoided discussing it outright. Today, we were compelled to put it into record: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/tribute...
Tribute to a Father
In which we discuss recent events in our lives, paying tribute to Lisa's father, and making space for grief.

And the forgot the first rule of Fight Club...
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Robert Altman asked his teenage son to write the lyrics to the song "Suicide is Painless" for the M*A*S*H movie and wanted them to be "very stupid," but
"The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway"
...is still one hell of a couple of lines.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.
You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

NEW: I spent a week in Connecticut’s only immigration court, where thousands of people each year learn if they can stay in the United States.
The court doesn’t allow photography, so I took an illustrator.

A week inside the opaque court where CT immigrants learn their fate
The courtroom often resembles an assembly line, with many cases taking less than five minutes.
