Though it won’t come as any surprise, we are still sad to have to announce that Scum Mag is, like all good bands, going “on hiatus” (and we all know what that means.) The full announcement/explanation is over on our Facebook.

What we were able to do in our early 20s as ratbags who didn’t know any better is kind of humbling. But now we’re old enough to know we need to step away. To the writers who trusted us with your work: you are who this whole thing was for. Thank you for everything.

Curl up with some monstrous (?) new fiction from @wings_humming 💜

Gorgeous new fiction by Bridie Noonan💜

"Once I went to meet her at the station and she’d forgotten all about it. I walked to Southern Cross and was so embarrassed I had to be sick, because I’d worn my new top and put on lipstick and everyone could see."

More fiction coming at you, Scummers! If you've ever sat across from a witch at the pub (I know I have) and wondered what might happen if you steal a chip from their plate, @emkawo 's short story, 'The Chip Witch', might make you think twice about it. 🍟✨

We're back baby with some brand new fiction ✨ 'Pegs' by Zara Gundason perfectly captured that feeling of loneliness that can come even when you live with someone, and the things you reach for when you're struggling to connect.

December: "I'm a fancy adult with a set of fancy kitchen knives, so I used the old op shop kitchen knife to hack at the dandelions in the front yard."

In honour of @JasmineShirrefs last column, here's a lil retrospective thread of "If I'm a water-bearing air sign does that make me perspiration?" Thank you Jas for marking the strangest for us 💖

November: "The itch to be social returned, not the fear of missing out so much as a peer pressure."
