It's a great time to call your electeds to demand impeachment, conviction, and removal of Trump.

Fan of our latest issue's cover art? So are we! FIYAH is thrilled to welcome our new Art Director, Kerine Wint! "A cover isn’t always just a cover — a magazine is never just a magazine — without a vision, a purpose, and a community." More thoughts from Kerine here: fiyahlitmag.com/2026/01/19/a...
A Letter from our New Art Director, Kerine Wint

This is my first self published work so if you buy this novella, you'll directly support a Black indie author. (And if there's enough demand, I might be able to get paperbacks made.) Preorder here:

I used to read books from beginning to end, even if I disliked it.
Now I'm more willing to drop a book if it doesn't grab me after a few chapters, or if it says things that really piss me off (anything bigoted, for example.)

@gibbsmoryss.bsky.social Ever try butterbeer with actual beer, butter, and spices? I made it again recently, and remembered why I enjoy it, and why I should only have it as a sometimes drink.

The year end festivities are over. It may be chilly in your area, you may be worn out from the prep work, or socially drained. Are you the type to cap off your cookout season with a warm, possibly stiff drink?
What's your brew of choice?

I've gouged my Achilles tendon, multiple times, with the big toenail on the opposite leg.
Each time, I was laying down in a pique position, then injured myself straightening the other leg.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
