EDITION 6.5 - Confessions of Teenage Drama Queens
Dear Westridge,
Happy random Thursday in March. And happy not-so-new new year! Yes, it's been a while. The edition was delayed. A hiatus was had. But we're back at it! The mostly anonymous, obnoxious, and uncompensated citizens of Thursday Detention are here and published for the interweb! As Editor-in-Fief, I’m proud to present Edition 6.5 - Confessions of Teenage Drama Queens. Is that a resounding applause I hear? Oh my, thank you so much! We have indeed worked hard for this. We’ve labored, day and night over candlelight, all for your delight. Although, I'm humbled to say, major props for TD's continued existence must go to Ms. Cutler. Her endless pressuring has spawned this edition into creation. Without her yelling “When’s the next edition?!?!” from across Madeline Court every afternoon I’m not sure where we’d be! Certainly my resting heart rate would be lower. Speaking of anxiety, our country’s democracy may be flushed down the tyrannical toilet of doom, but TD is here in even the most desperate of times! Politics will be the least of your concerns after reading these entries. 6.5 comes piping hot with entries like Hugh Bass and Ben Dover's The Column - featuring the one and only Chat GBT, and some last minute additions for your funny-bone needs.
Exhausted and terminally confused,
Micah

EDITION 6.4 – WE'RE STILL KICKING
Dear indefinitely sick students,
Well, well, well. The day has finally come. TD’s first edition of the year, made just in time for winter break! What is four months, really? I mean, I'm still not in college so nothings really changed. For inspiration to write this whilst I have too many other things I should be writing, I reread my last Lettitor from the Editor. I'm gonna be honest with you, I feel genuine pride. We aren’t dead! We do have a staff – an almost entirely new cast in fact! And we’re in print now? Hello!?! It’s like we’re SNL rebranded for the newest season: new faces, new formats - although we did keep the same font.
Now I know you’re all dying for the dish, so I’ll cut to the chase.
What to look out for in this edition?
Your haughty servant,
Micah

What to look out for in this edition?
- An EXCLUSIVE feature from alum, Budderball?!?! She’s in college now but that doesn’t stop me from publishing her work from last year for additional content. Thanks, Budderball!
- MUSIC?!?! Oh, heck yes, for all your caroling needs.
- Turns out we’re not above potty humor.
- 2 different rankings of Westridge facilities. That’s right, TWO! It’s getting to the point that Admissions ought to hire us for tours.
- And a very new and exciting column by none other than Hugh Jass and Ben Dover

EDITION: PRE-SCHOOL
Dear people of Westridge School,
I'm delighted to be writing this on my summer vacation and cannot wait for the responsibility of keeping this quickly dying establishment together. I hope you feel the same, because we seriously need to get our act together. I'm afraid we've lost a good many men this past year and the numbers (both of staffers and readers) are not looking good. With this depressing news, I also bring you hope; WE'RE NOT DEAD YET and recruitment for the coming year of TD will begin shortly! Prospective members, do your due diligence: stare at New Yorker Cartoons, relive your Liza Koshy era, and do- idk, whatever else tickles your funny bone. We must start to get the creative juices flowing.
Unlike the rest of this institution, I don't expect perfection nor do I care for it. So, the question is not why should I join TD, it is when. And we may have zero ratings on Yelp but as Ms. Nicole Kidman has so graciously said about us: "We come to this place [Thursday Detention] for magic. We leave not just entertained but somehow, reborn." If curious and craving a new chance at life, email me. Or you can stalk me on campus. I'm the tall girl with bangs. Come one, come all, and save this foolproof news source.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
Micah
