Well hello there. Next month's theme is IMITATION. We're looking for written and visual work that has to do with mimicry, replication, re-enactment, dramatization, novelization, repetition. Not to mention: camouflage, fakes, counterfeits, “authenticity,” “reality.” Send your stuff here, and thanks. ♥
Lovely! Also, is the journal gallery still happening?
Log in to replyYup! It just got bumped to next month.
Log in to replyOh my god #24 is so precious. And lol at “An oil painting by a fancy person (an Instagram I took of my feet).”
Log in to replyAHHHH! THESE ARE ALL SO PERFECT!! I especially love #6! It’s like an instant inspiration gallery!
Oh, and that above question actually reminded me– is it too late to send in journal entries? I was going to, but I didn’t see the thing on the side that said you could anymore, so I didn’t know :)

Log in to replyI looked forward to these pictures all month!
Log in to replyP.S. My aunt who works in marketing was really impressed when I showed her this website. She thinks your design is awesome, and that all other websites should be intimidated, and jealous that their websites aren’t as lovely as yours. I agree.
The oil painting by a fancy person is simply exquisite. Crosses boundaries. Hauntingly evocative. “★★★★”
