Ever wondered what it might be like to taste someone's final moments? Look no further 👇
In this issue, you can read my memory-embalming story "If You Can't Make Your Own Regret, Store-Bought Is Fine"--a piece I based in part on my nursing school experience and in part on finding cremains for sale at Goodwill. ($8, for those who are wondering.)

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
