As a Washingtonian, I'd like to thank you for drawing attention to this horrific crime by violent extremists with federal badges.

But please, I'm begging you, replace party leadership with people willing to FIGHT rather than trying to appease the rampantly deranged POTUS and his puppets.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Lady friends: Where do you go clothes shopping (online)?

I need some new clothes. Prefer dark winter colors. Gothic aesthetic is best. Don't want to spend a ton of money for only a couple of items.

Suggestions?

Gah, why are hoodies always so expensive?!

Finally (after a week of procrastinating), I went out and got some work done on my car.

Also hit Goodwill hoping to find some new winter clothes and/or DVDs, but sadly left empty handed.

*sad trombone sound*

Q6: Do you have anything exciting going on outside of #FirstDraftFall - recent or upcoming publications, other exciting projects, etc? Share it here & be sure to post links if you have them!

I took requests from my friends to see what they wanted their short stories to be about. So that was fun. 😁

Q3: Let’s cheer things up a bit! What’s your favourite part of #FirstDraftFall so far? #WeeknightWriters
December 5, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Main challenge I face when writing "short" stories is keeping them... ya know, short.

As mentioned, the current WIP is going to be a minimum of 10 pages. My friend was expecting closer to 5 total for her present lol.

Really excited to flex my creative muscles in so many ways this month.

I have 4 short stories planned as gifts for close friends. One is almost finished, the next will star a pampered kitty cat, then an anime-inspired action story, not sure about the last one yet though.

Q1: How are you feeling about your #FirstDraftFall progress so far? Excited? Disheartened? #WeeknightWriters

Hello, I am word person from the Seattle area.

Current WIP: A special personalized short story I'm giving to my dance partner as a holiday present (since 💰is tight this year). I'm towards the end and should have it wrapped up within 10-15 pages total. No title for this one.

#WeeknightWriters

Wanted to get errands run today, but felt monstrously lethargic. Around 2pm, I finally figured out it was because I hadn't eaten.

I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned somewhere in there.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨

You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.

This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?

I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.

Reposts appreciated, thanks!
