I entered a prompt contest. This week I am sure many of the Daily Kos readers fretted over government shutdowns, Trump scandals, GOP cowards and traitors, our wannabe dictator threatening generals and journalists. I was trying to write a story based on...

What is an origin story? It’s a story we tell ourselves. We humans study anthropology to understand evolution, which allows us then to understand where we began. A couple of days ago, I began a story that decidedly did not read like a resume. In fact,...
