A week ago we released Issue 9! We’ve been shining a light on the stories, poetry, and essays within the issue but now we want to highlight @itsbabypears.bsky.social gorgeous cover art.

"Yes," the wizard fumed, "but the palace have erected magic-cancelling wards."
"Why?"
"Don't know. But they didn't think of people who need mobility aids. So I need wheels to go shout at the king."

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 209:
Not all writing needs to “lead somewhere.” Joy is a valid end in itself. So is practice: everything you write makes you better writer.

A new CNN report uncovers that the IDF knowingly:
•Shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour
•Bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves
•Left them to decompose, scavenged by dogs
•Never documented these murders & tried to hide them
This is what genocide looks like. Horrific.
