Publication update and new writing prompt
Hi everyone,
Hope all is well, and if it’s not, maybe I can help distract from whatever is bringing you down. I just want to check in, give a few updates, and offer up a writing prompt for you to run with (if it tickles your fancy).

I’ve gotten a ton of awesome submissions in the past few months. Here are some of my favorites:
- a story about homelessness and why four walls don’t make up a home
- a plea for dialogue around what modern free speech should look like
- an exploration of why WFH is likely the present and future
- a deep-dive into the value of verification on social media platforms
What I’m working on
Who am I kidding? You don’t care what I’m working on.
