I love how they feel the need to write 'male' under each Greek letter (dudes, that's not 100% correct in terms of Greek alphabetical order, but you do you), just in case we forget this graphic is all about manly men doing manly things, probably involving some form of oil and/or grease.

Do you want characters' speech to be memorable, or the way you describe their speech to be memorable? BTW, read only the dialog tags aloud. If it's lots of breathing, shuddering, hissing, you're overdoing the tags - put interesting stuff IN the dialog. Use: said, asked, whispered ~ 85% of the time

One thing they never tell you when you train to become a professional time traveler is just how easy it is to royally screw up everyone and everything. I had just said those words aloud. Just as my allotted time was running out, I added, “Anyway, that’s why I’m testifying today.” #snippet

Yep. Actively discouraging ppl from writing is a form of abuse, far as I'm concerned

Just a suggestion (I worked in data for yrs), adding 1st names (or initials, if it's a space consideration) + yrs on court would be helpful. I'm no fan of Rehnquist, but > 30 yrs on SCOTUS & <$13k in gifts is commendable & even more damning re Thomas. Kudos!

Ooh Boston-based stories get local artists, Dropkick M's, Cars, Til Tues, Jonathan Richman, etc. Time Travel gets timey songs like Stones' Time Waits for No One, Joe Jackson's Got the Time. Robot Cop story gets Iron Man, Nick Lowe's I <3 the Sound of Breaking Glass! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDbU...

Also! Build yr own credit score. Get a savings account, even if you just put in $1/month. Just get in the habit. Take advantage of employer retirement programs + sock $ away even if you can only eat ramen for a week. You'll need that $ later. Do yr own taxes. Be yr future self's best economic friend

Au contraire, ma'am. You'll have debt if you try to end this nonsense. B/c I'm sure Mr. Big Spender keeps the receipts for everything. Not every1 does well w/joint accts but EVERYTHING separate screams he wants a fast exit eventually. In US, a nanny for a newborn is ~$20/hr. Start keeping records!
