i want to write but i’m uninspired so i think i’m gonna play the sims and dissociate instead.

i am SO JEALOUS of everyone who gets to be here. look at this line up. LOOK AT IT.

i am officially having more fun over here than i am on the bird app.

“The problem is that I'm never sure who’s left or right we're talking about: mine or the screw's?” i laughed out loud twice. so good.

For those of you who don’t know us, HI! We’re not gum. We’re a lit mag that features collaborative work (stuff by two or more humans). We like witchcraft and easy bake ovens. We like you. We want everyone to play together and have fun.

Now feels like a good time to mention that we are currently open for general subs! Buddy up and send us your magic ✨ icebreakerslit.submittable.com/submit
