Morning. As promised, the first of our Abridged 0 - 1867: Lower Value Human Capital postcards. This one features Moyra Donaldson. We normally don't respond quite so directly (or quickly) to a headline, but Lower Value Human Value was so cold and so Abridged that we couldn't resist.

My cotributor's copy arrived today. 'Abridged' is alive in the true sense: its format mutates, never settling, never standardised, always surprising. @abridgedmagazine.bsky.social Thanks!
