In this episode, we talk to Alex Cohen AKA tiny snek comics AKA the mastermind behind being rat verified on twitter, which is superior to regular verified, because you don't pay $8 and you also get a rat. But hey, if you're really thirsting for that blue checkmark, tumblr's got you covered—they'll give you two, and it even comes with crabs. Also a guy in Philly ate 40 rotisserie chickens, and Jamie-Lee Josselyn explains why this is a sport. PETA's going to have fun with this one.
Creative writing instructor from the University of Pennsylvania, Jamie-Lee Josselyn, shares with me how writing can help you process your grief. We covered a lot of other important topics, too, like the stigmas of suicide, how she strived to continue a normal life as a pre-teen after her loss and how she coped when she reached the age her mom died by suicide.

Jamie-Lee Josselyn (@jljosselyn) and Kristen Martin (@kwistent) discuss Hope Edelman's 1994 book Motherless Daughters, which has remained successful in the more than 2 decades since its release.

Sabrina Qiao, Maya Arthur, and Jamie-Lee Josselyn gather with Kristen Martin (@kwistent) to discuss her essay "Don't Cover Your Eyes," from Catapult in 2016. Kristen's essay inspires conversation about how a television show -- in this case, HBO's Six Feet Under -- can help access grief, rather than numb it. The group also discusses how writing about loss is also just as much about living in the present as it is reflecting on the past.
