Choose your metaphor but if you can write your heart and vision and send it into the world, here and other great lit mags. The counter to the dehumanization of our work and our lives is us. It’s you. It’s we. It’s putting one word after another because we can and we will.

Send some joy our way for a special issue-let, a micro mag, an itty issue but happy, like sun flashing through cloud or whatever it is that makes you happy. Like your first solo bike ride. A final leaving. Or return. We don’t know, it’s your joy but we can share it. Open for just a couple of days.

Ephemeral joy and nonsense joy and ecstatic joy and contemplative joy, the joy of being and of doing and of not doing and of burning it down and of building it up and anyway there’s lots of variations don’t be afraid, a little joy won’t make you unserious, it patches you up so you can be serious

Every day is a good day to share a piece of writing or art you love. Or like. Or found uncomfortable. Or made you question or feel or think. That made you want to smile or cry or paint or draw or love. That reminded you of something you have or lost or could find. That carried your feet another step

I'd be grateful if you can send links for flash stories where climate change plays a role. I'd like my students to write these kinds of stories for an assignment, but I don't have many models. Thanks!
