I feel this. It's no coincidence that gardening was something I enjoyed this year. Fewer devices, less tracking, more care. Paper books, friends IRL, walking, tea, perfume, cinema, gigs... Just be mindful that the attention economy is *not*your friend and not everything is accomplished by shopping.

Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! There’s only one week left in the year—which means we are ONE WEEK away from opening to fiction and poetry submissions on January 1st! Get your original fiction and poetry ready ✨ othersidespec.com/guidelines/
