just fixed a few bugs in the New Session CMS that should make it easier to read stories on terminals that need CRLFs instead of just LFs enjoying @jana-aych-ess.bsky.social's excellent "A Dissolution" from issue 2 on this PowerBook 170 web version: anewsession.com/issue2/a_dis...

if you also feel this way, consider submitting to @anewsession.com the only literary magazine delivered over telnet, a text only protocol that works on every computer for the last 40 years

GOOD NEWS! after many months stuck on the janky and slow Python CMS, New Session Issue 1 is now back online on the new fancy JVM CMS! this means: it actually works now. go try it: telnet issue1.anewsession.com

yesterday I wrote a first draft of a sweet little thing for @anewsession.com it was grounding to create, to craft a vision of something nice to share with people it doesn't yet feel particularly groundbreaking in terms of variance, but i think right now I'll prioritize gentleness

another incredible story published all the way back in 2021 in New Session Issue 1: @theworldsgreatestwriter.com tells the story of a man who murders with a phone call as a little party trick anewsession.com/issue1/old_m...

An Old Man's Story by June Martin
It's a secret number, you just punch it in. My grand-dad taught it to me, got it
from his. Tommy Watson. Don't fall for that Thomas shit, no one who knew him
would say that. Inventor of the phone, you know. The real one. Bell barely did
anything.
No listen to me.
Listen to me.
Bell got people on the line. But it's not for that. It's a weapon. Yeah, a
weapon. Oh look it's a crazy old drunk, oh he's deluded. I got a perfect mind of
glass. Don't you worry about that, friends. Phones make a network. You get them
to build a network. Back then it was just wires, that was bad enough. Now it's
signals. Can't throw a hatchet on your back and go protect your town like ol
grand-dad.
Look I'll show you. Give me your phone. Because I don't carry one, that's why.
Too dangerous. You'll see. You, what's your phone number? Thanks kid, love your
attitude. So you just pop the right stuff in, then the phone number of the
recipient and hey, there you go.
Stop trying, he's not gonna wake up. I called him off this mortal coil. And be
quiet. Thank you. Christ.

we're super excited to put out a new issue of New Session in just a few months! in the meantime, we'd like to highlight some of our previous submissions. first: Claire's beautiful ascii-art memoir of queerness and God and the ocean, Milestones anewsession.com/issue1/miles...

I sat dumbfounded for a moment and wondered about asking another question; I was a bit of an outsider having only been at these classes three weeks under this after-school plan. and I had been trying to "fit in" by hiding as much as possible and being on board the Jesus train! My family had been religious in almost no way other than the holidays and beyond coloring eggs for Easter and of course Christmas cheer (and quite a outsized portion of that) I knew almost nothing of the Bible or Jesus post-birth. I knew as much or more about other religions though. For reasons...
