dedicated to rewriting modern masculinity since 2009.
- Just your daily reminder to make lists of writers and mags you like and plug the work of other writers and lit mags whenever possible to try to break through this new Musky algorithm. Spread the word.
- From Submittable: "I've heard from several submitters about the vulgar declination message you're sending out.ย If I do not hear from you within the next couple of hours I am pausing your account so you have time to fix this and consider a more suitable way to address people."
- Does it make "us" sound more like a legitimate lit mag if I keep referring to "us" as "us" (even if it's only me)?
- Need some more stories about complicated women who do bad things and don't take sh*t from men (or do take sh*t up until they don't take sh*t.... Trying to do a thing here. Help spread the word.
- Who out there feels like Twitter has become yelling into the void? Let's find you some eyes and ears. Starting with @doylejacq... one of our fav writers out there.
- This has been a bit more of a lonely, soul-sucking, void-hollering place of late. Throw me some stories & poems to read this weekend for after I get done grading.
- Haven't done this for a bit, but it seems like the people are leavin' and/or the algorithm's retaliating, so help us out. What online, small press, indie-as-shit stories should we be reading? Let's spread some love.
- Many thanks to the fine folks over @chillsubs for putting us 9th on their list of FISH List of Lively Indie Lit Mags 2025 along with some very very great company.

- Never really wanted to do a lit mag, never really read lit mags, all the college print ones that seemed so self-serious. didnโt know there were alternatives. I wouldnโt say โdream come trueโ but we did just publish this story with this first line, which made 21-yr-old me happy:"I fractured my penis driving the Zamboni. Before that, my mother disowned me. Before that, I sat shaving my legs like floating dreams above the blue line where hockey players shouted prayers to toothless gods." - @matthewbdexter mrbullbull.com/newbull/fictioโฆ
