Interesting Times

May you live in interesting times. So, apparently, that is not a Chinese curse. According to the good people over at Quote Investigor – yes, people actively investigate quotes, humans are like that – well, according to QI, a British man named Austen (of all names) who was part of the British diplomatic corps in […]Read Post ›

A New Year

  Another year. Another variant.Is that too dark?Or has the TVA decided “to hell with it” and cut everyone loose?(This is an MCU reference. Apologies to all those not well-versed in the cinematic universe.) Anyway, it’s 2022 – how’d that happen?And will it be its own weird year or 2020, Vol. 2? Please no Vol. […]Read Post ›

Twelve Ten, No. 20

Editor’s Note Maya Writing Season has begun. Not that no one writes during the rest of the year, but there is something particularly… writerly about autumn. The mood is more melancholy, inviting thoughtfulness and introspection. Long walks before the actual cold sets in are commonplace, especially with the leaves blazing in warm colours, from scarlet […]Read Post ›

Summertime (?)

No, the living is sadly not easy. However, summer is happening …right? The general question seems to be: Is it safe? Yes? No? Maybe?What do you mean, you don’t know? Oh, who cares, let’s go anyway!So very… YOLO … Winter’s going to be another sequel of Interesting Times, isn’t it? Oh dear. Welp. What to […]Read Post ›

Reading & Writing

Time has become so relative by now, last year could be last century for all anyone knows. Or just last week. Telling anecdotes is an effort these days, because who knows when what happened, really? A week is 5 seconds and 30 years long. A day is the square root of frayed nerves and coffee. […]Read Post ›

Oof.

Lot’s of things to think about, hardly 2 weeks into 2021 (2020 one or 2020 won?) as we are. Is it too late to say Happy New Year? Especially when ‘Happy’ seems a bit… optimistic? Mulling over what one can write and what can be written, especially with so many think pieces, hot takes, essays, […]Read Post ›

Spooky Season

  What can one write these days? What can be said with words when everything changes before you even typed the first sentence? Where to start, where to begin? It’s all happening all at once, all the time, and there is no end in sight… But… Hasn’t everything always happened all at once? After all, […]Read Post ›

Gone Fishing

  A Time and a Place   The time is Now the place is Elsewhere as in, Not Here.   It’s July Summer And here at VR we are taking a small break from it all To rest, recuperate, and prepare for the colder months because Winter is coming…   But there is still time […]Read Post ›

Do the Work.

So you saw the news and are still horrified. Now you’ve tweeted the hashtag and you posted the black square. You’ve argued with loved ones, you’ve had actual fights. You’ve yelled at screens, down halls, past doors, into phones. You’re not out on the streets, protesting, but that doesn’t mean your anger and horror aren’t […]Read Post ›
