American Independence Day was yesterday. I wonder how many other Americans were thinking about the irony of celebrating freedom from an absolute power while the US Gov strips millions of healthcare, takes citizens and immigrants hostage in internment camps, and supports overseas genocide.

Sometimes I'm afraid to be too political and then I remember that for me and many, many others it's not just our opinions. It's life or death. So I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut.

Great piece covering a speech by my old boss and our newly minted New York State Senator, April Baskin. She makes an excellent point about why we can’t let our history be erased.

They don't cover it because they want to cover it up. If they want to cover it up, then they don't work for the people.

Some art I made to go with one of our poems! "Gray Gloved" by Stephen Mead. You can find them both on our poetry page below: www.lavendwritermagazine.com/poetry-1

Pictured is a collage of photos and drawings in gray and muted colors including flowers, a hand pointed upwards, a watercolor painted moon, and a blurred photo of a woman's face.

Lavendwriter Magazine has open submissions! If you're a writer or artist, submit to us today! We take any genres and encourage LGBTQ+ and diverse works. Art can be any kind but if it includes our favorite color: Lavender, for our opening, we'll love it!

A poster advertising open submissions for a literary magazine. It includes clip-art of purple vintage objects, scraps of paper, and queer symbols. The top reads, "Lavendwriter. Lavendwritermagazine.com." A vintage sketch of a woman has a speech bubble near her that reads "Submissions open. Nonfiction, Fiction, Poetry, Art."
