Thank you so much for giving my story such a lovely home.
Biting and warming at the same time. So few words but the story memorably drawn with a shoutout to Grandmas but not Jack. @sgscarso.bsky.social

I used to dance, before. Arthritis carried it away early on, I was 16. I wrote plays, then, and poetry.
I wrote, till I started to publish, and ghost-write, and made it how I live and pay my rent.
Matt was right that finding joy is a rebellion. It's a kindness in a hard world.

We promised a sneak peek at contributors and we won’t let you down unlike all those who let you down, not good, but these contributors are very good and won’t let you down either. Issue releases within 10 days. We’d be more precise but that wouldn’t be a surprise templeinacity.com/contributors...
