JAKE @publishedbyjake.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Heads up: JAKE's backend experienced a breach one of his contributors (thankfully) spotted this week. Almost 250 pieces were affected (had an LLM-sounding paragraph of advertising inserted). All should be fixed now, but if your piece is still messed up, email JAKE & he'll fix it. 281

Reposted by JAKEAaron Burch @aaronburch.bsky.social · 03/02/2026sad to hear (JAKE is great!) but so goes the world of literary journals. there are a handful with institutional support and/or mysterious money (tho fewer & fewer of even those), otherwise the lifespan is more often than not shorter than that of a large dog. love them similarly when they're around. 3281
Reposted by JAKEMB Valente @mbvalente.bsky.social · 03/02/2026It's a tough time out there to be a lit mag, even if you're as kickass as JAKE.
