individuals make sense of experience through telling stories they hope others will hear. To establish an interpretive connection with their audience, narrators must tell stories that are tellable, conceptualized as engaging but not too socially or emotionally challenging. We analyze the narratives of death-sentenced exoneree activists. When depicting their wrongful convictions, we find exoneree activists convey accepted critiques of criminal justice system processing through familiar tropes that reinforce shared understanding with their audience. When representing their unique suffering and conveying a more critical perspective, exonerees marshal sarcasm, metaphor, and litotes. These rhetorical devices convey irony that encourages listeners to question their assumptions, thereby, enhancing audience receptivity to exonerees' perspectives.

To be heard and accepted by an audience, a story must satisfy the upper and lower boundaries of narrative tellability.
A story do not meet minimum tellability criteria because they are deemed uneventful or uninteresting by those who hear them.

Stories may breach the upper boundary of tellability because of the narrator and the content of his or her story.
A story may be untellable because a
narrator finds some experiences to be too hard to put into words.

Stories can also be untellable if audience members either judge narrators to be suspect or find the
content of their stories too outlandish, socially challenging, or frightening to listen
to (Ochs and Capps, 2001; Shuman, 2012; Yeo, 2020)


Other rhetorical devices play a more complex role
in facilitating narrative tellability by expressing irony, which occurs when what
actually happens turns out to be completely different from what would be
expected. At the core of exonerees’ experiences is a tragic irony: they were punished
despite being criminally innocent. We show that exonerees marshal several forms
of rhetoric, including sarcasm, metaphor, and litotes, which convey the irony of
their situation in various ways. Irony as a form of rhetoric is uniquely suited to
help individuals immediately and unconsciously adjust to complex circumstances
(Gibbs, 2002).

I emailed nasa about making fun with art up there as it will burn down with us anyways! seeing all the hand prints in the midst of joy only a sliver of care; sounds beautiful!
they definitely could be alot more human up there if their piss wasnt calculated, can you imagine how alienating it must be coming back down and seeing the bar quiet and never had looked up? scary... (The frisbee designs like the notches are so science can play its part is counting how fast it spins like velocity contrasts.)

I emailed nasa as someone just discovering email; no adult emails. thats so silly!
