our newest bambino has come into the world on this cloudy breezy desert afternoon!

tales of foreign theaters closing, the promise of cryogenic freezing, and speculations on lost connections in fraught modernity meld with poetry of spatial acrobatics, imagistic minimalism, and family recipes, all buttressed by animation-tinged visuals that hit us in our '90s cartoon feels. it's strange for sure, and you know that's what we're all about! enjoy...

just a couple hours until a big (somewhat expected) indicia surprise, and even a coupler hours until the death of 2020! woooo!

08/09/2020

as mentioned on our site, we are trying out limited submission periods for issue 9 later this year rather than year-round open submissions, so anyone who submitted for that already will be retroactively considered for issue 8. getting familiar with our new fiction editors as well (never too late to shake things up?), so stay tuned for our issue 8 release before too long, as well as issue 9 reading period dates!
