@icebreakers_lit @RipleyHush wow I really should log into Twitter more often! How cool @RipleyHush - I had no idea lol!

@freelancersu would love to speak with someone who takes this seriously & is actually knowledgeable pls

[Jessica, they/them @JRowshandel]

@RLEspinal Hi - Who can I speak with about disability insurance benefits? Your membership dept has ignored me bc I asked abt language around requiring FT hours for *freelancer’s* to be eligible. I would like to speak with someone else. Your website doesn’t provide other options.

@NatalieGMarino I know someone who pays her friend $25/hour to find lit mags and then submit her work to them. She sought him out to do it. And he likes doing it. She likes that it saves her time. I’m not saying what’s right or wrong, just sharing an experience I was privy to.

[Jessica, they/them @JRowshandel]

Some of these are awful

[Beaver Magazine! SUBS OPEN @thebeavermag]

What are your rejection letter red flags? Are there any responses you've received to a submission that have made you never want to submit to that journal again?

[ICEBREAKERS 🦄 @icebreakers_lit]

Don't miss "Broken House" by @JRowshandel
& @ripleyhush

"the ocean became a soup of toxins
the forest a fable

like the tortoise that took its time
we stalled to savor the fire

and smiled on —sun rising in a birdless sky—
even as our mouths fell to the ground as bricks"

@midlvlmag have you read the short story "Orientation" by Daniel Oroszo?
If not, I think you'd love it for its commentary on work and the office. It's read aloud in Act 4 of this episode of This American Life: https://t.co/ORJfhEJf36

Happy to be part of it!

This issue is packed with so much decadence we may as well call it the "butt stuff" issue.

LISTEN UP KIDDOS! Submissions are now OPEN for issue 3! 'In the Spirit of Greta'.

The theme itself is centered on the idea of Greta Thunberg and how she represents love of the planet and also standing up to The System and to bullies.

Do you have any passionate ideas on this?
