Life is made mostly of small things. The smell of fresh bread, a cup of spiced cocoa, laughing with a loved one, admiring the apple trees in blossom. Don’t become so obsessed with chasing the few great things that you become blind to the many ordinary joys.
Take a minute today to honor the birthday of the Notorious RBG—3/15/33. The world is so much better because of her!

If you consider yourself on the side of justice and human rights in any significant way and do not know what a loss we just suffered, please educate yourself on the life and work of Judy Heumann. She changed the world.
Then ask yourself why you didn't know this story.

My company just listed on LinkedIn a job posting for what I’m currently doing (so we’re hiring another UX writer) and now thanks to salary transparency laws, I see that they intend to pay this person $32k-$90k more than they currently pay me, so I applied.
Dear Writer, When you feel frustrated, small or unseen, I want you to truly look in the mirror and see yourself. You're doing great. Promise. Can confirm this job is hard for any of us who bring our heart into our work. Even harder if you add in soul. Big hug, Your Kind Editor
I'm sure someone will complain this is cultural appropriation. I think it's just great.

Fun fact: if I don’t get a job soon I probably have to move back home. I wrote on like 200 episodes of the Tonight Show (monologue and sketch) and would love to work on another writers room.

Please take a moment and honor my great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack. During this fraught time in the world, when authoritarianism is worryingly on the rise, her story is more topical and urgent than ever. May her courage be an inspiration to you. 12/12 pic.twitter.com/IT0VmcEjjB

appreciate everyone's kind words. I keep seeing the phrase "[editor] took a chance on me" and just wanted to say: that's not what we did. if we published your work, we believed in it; we didn't view it in terms of risk. we took it seriously. we were fortunate to have it.
Can you send me your author website? Doing research!

A two months old baby was rescued from the rubble in Turkey 128 hours after the earthquake.
We are a desert. However, when people write that we are a dessert, we appreciate that.
Almost a week after the earthquake, Turkish rescuers yell into the rubble: "if you hear us, hit the walls with all your strength," upon reports, voices could be heard. Within the Turkish press, stories of miracles still flow in. Turkey sees almost 30,000 deaths; Syria over 5000.
Remember, the mass shooter didn’t act alone.
He was assisted by 49 Senators, 222 House members, and the NRA.
