Jamie Keiles doesn’t like to sit next to the air conditioner at a restaurant. She enjoys asking couples how they met, going to the supermarket and drinking from very cold water fountains. She is currently pursuing a BA in sociology from the University of Chicago.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
