Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord.
You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too.

We are all so eager to help each other. I have been overwhelmed by support for Chicago from other cities and I’m trying my best to pay it forward. Solidarity and mutual aid forever.
In every city, organizers learn from shared information about how ICE operates from the cities that come before. ICE leaves a city radicalized and activated; the people in it reach out to the place where they are to offer aid and help.

This week's #WritingPrompt from #Typey is about suddenly getting rich. How do you think your character will handle wealth? Start hoarding it, investing wisely, spending it all in a week, or something else entirely? As always, happy writing.

With New Years upon us, imagine what your life may look like at the end of 2026 after achieving every resolution you set for 2026. Think of this like a future non-fictional #writingprompt. Happy writing, and happy new year! 🎉

I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

With various holidays this time of year, what do you think holidays on another planet are like? This #WritingPrompt is about building a holiday for another planet. What sort of traditions do they have? Why are they celebrating? Once you figure out some of the answers, try writing a scene or two.

Last week's prompt was all about dialogue, this week, the characters can't understand one another's dialogue. Write a scene where there's a language barrier. What is one character trying to communicate with the other? How urgent is the question? #WritingPrompt #Typey #WritersGroup

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

This week's #WritingPrompt is chatty. We're talking all dialogue. Use as little scene description as possible to write a scene between two or more characters. #QueerWriters #Typey

If I could go anywhere in the world right now, it’d be the library near my first apartment.
They had an outside reading area.
What I wouldn’t give to be there right now, with a nice hot coffee and an obscure graphic novel I’m surprised they had.
