What are stories?

Stories are posts that are intended to educate, inform, or share personal experience. They may examine our cultural diversity and how that diversity impacts our society. They are not strictly political in nature but add social or educational value to a political site and contribute to the site's mission of promoting progressive values. The key factor differentiating diatribes and stories is that diatribes are political diaries and stories are not.  If you are not sure whether you should post your content as a diatribe or story you should probably use diatribe. Some examples of typical stories are:

Remembering Kurt Cobain.

Marine Life Series: Why Polar Bears Aren't Really White

The Death & Vision of Moxtaveto ( Black Kettle)

When a story is published a link to the story is created in the right sidebar.
