For those shtting on GenX re: the exit polls & how GenX was the group w/the most votes for Trump...
The 45-64 group for the polls has 5 years worth of Boomers in it. So until you narrow the polls to the actual GenX age (44-59), then maybe just stop it with the GenX scapegoating

Press release from August 2024. Thank goodness there was some foresight. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have the list from the previous two years, and it's fantastic, invaluable, and free! I use it frequently for deciding where to submit. Thank you, Brecht, for providing an updated list each year! You're a rockstar! #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter

The cockroaches of the world sexually assault women (or think SA is funny/deserved/no big deal) while simultaneously beating their chests like they're gonna be the ones to save the women. Then they turn around and are butt-hurt angry offended hostile when women choose #TeamBear.

Returned frozen waffles today that were recalled due to listeria contamination. My daughter almost opened the package the other day to eat one, but decided on a different snack. 😱

How is it that the computer keyboard I bought back in 2021 for $13.99 now costs $69.99? I mean... just how???? It's the same exact keyboard!! That's a 400% increase in price!! I need a new keyboard, but I'm not paying $69.99 for something that I once paid $13.99 for!
😲🤨

You ever received a story rejection & thought "What a nice personal rejection! They seem to like my writing. I'll submit again!" so months later you submit a new one & receive the exact same word for word rejection and thus realize both times just a copy/paste form rejection?🤔😆

I'm reading stories on @ChestnutReview and I found one that really hit me hard titled "What are the Plans for the Weekend" by @glennorgias. Love and life is so fragile. Give it a read. (I really like it when litmags post audio too). #WritingCommunity

To the person who tied their dog to a fence with Milton on its way, you are a horrible human being! Maybe next time someone should tie YOU to a fence and abandon you right before a hurricane...give you a big walloping taste of your own cruelty!!

There are far more important things happening, but the fact that Hurricane Milton is hashtag trending with an m at the end (Miltom) instead of an n at the end (Milton) is driving me crazy.
All the videos and posts regarding Milton... I'm so terrified and sad for Florida. 😧

There's a review for the HAD skull cap that's a bit charming, a bit funny, and a bit sad and maybe you might wanna read it because if the cap is discontinued, the review might also disappear and it's too cute to miss.

the HAD skull caps are gonna be sold out/discontinued soon! (next... week? 10 days? something like that.) if you've been wanting one... get one before they're gone!!

“I wish God hadn’t made me a girl, for we’ve become so unfortunate. I regret being born a girl; we are valued less than animals, who enjoy more freedom than we do,” says an Afghan girl living under the Taliban.

Demonic possession beats church (the ultimate church buzzkill). And exercise beats demonic possession (exercise exorcises!).

Hey #writersoftwitter...for those of you who submit stories to lit mags, in general how many times on average are you stories rejected before you get an acceptance? #WritingCommunity

I just saw the words "imaginary interlocutor" in a post and now I'm determined to use those words in a story someday.

The view counter at the bottom of posts... sometimes I wonder how many of those are just b0ts sauntering by. So really, it's not just shouting into the void, it's shouting at soulless b0ts.
In more positive news, I submitted a story to a litmag I've never submitted to before.
