Our latest offering, friends. To our contributors, thank you for adding to the world a little more heart and soul and tenderness, and to our little garden, these precious and enduring and aching words. May they reach those who need them most.

But it is dormant. It is alive and growing in the dark, ready to spring forth and bring beauty and resistance back to this world.

My final publication of 2024 is now out in @Heroin_Chic_Mag’s beautiful December issue. I am so honored that this vulnerable poem was included. Read it now at the link below. (CW/TW: gun violence and abortion imagery.) #writingcomminity https://t.co/5cF6PuR8uK

And, I am but one small teardrop compared to the fear and uncertainty facing those in marginalized spaces. For those who will be harmed the most by the coming administration. Your voices matter. Your stories matter. I am with you. I am for you. It felt like hope died that day.
