The Hoolet’s Nook @thehooletsnook.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Quick question for readers of online literary journals: when browsing a table of contents or author index and you click on a poem or story, do you prefer it to open in a new tab so the original page stays open, or would you rather it open in the same tab? Curious what you prefer! Thanks! 311
