If you’re a (new) writer and haven’t heard or taken the advice that you should read your work aloud to yourself, just go and listen to some well-written audiobooks and compare them to some not-so-well written ones.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

a short comic showing a hand petting a dog. the hand ask "are you a good boy?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask again "are you a good girl?" the dog said "yes!", and the hand ask, in a gender-nuetral way, "are you a good person?" the dog looks shocked. next panel shows the dog posing as "The Thinker" statue, asking itself "Am I a good person?"
