Shortform Theme of the Week

This week’s shortform theme is: What is your current (or past) most passionate interest? This past week I sat as my friend explained her recent and random deep rabbit hole into learning about Russian Figure Skating drama between coaches and their athletes. I’ve also fell down similar rabbit holes, particularly watching the oddest documentaries on Youtube! What about you? Let me know what your rabbit holes have been! 🐇🕳

Submit your shortform piece (<150 words) now to share your thoughts!

This is just a guideline for inspiration! You may submit shortforms related to other concepts if other ideas come to you! :)
