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 ›

Twelve Ten, No. 19

Today, only a few poems (some famous, some not yet known) and a little prose.   Stay Home. Stay Safe. Save Lives.     “Hope” is the thing with feathers Emily Dickinson   “Hope” is the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul – And sings the tune without the words – And […]Read Post ›

Twelve Ten, No. 18

  Editor’s Note Maya   It’s been a bit bleak lately, hasn’t it? Day 12 of the new decade and people are already exhausted. With the way things are going, everybody will be ready for bed by the end of the month. Silver linings seem to be in short supply at the moment… But: candles […]Read Post ›

Twelve Ten, No. 17

Editor’s Note Maya   It’s been a harrowing week, here in the Old Country. But then it’s been a harrowing week for a lot of people all across the globe. It seems almost selfish to feel that something has been genuinely broken by The Horrible Incident on Yom Kippur, when so much is already in […]Read Post ›

Twelve Ten, No. 16

  Editor’s Note Maya A couple of weekends ago it was so hot, people started fighting in public pools. It suddenly made sense why the Montagues and Capulets lost their heads. The sun was merciless. Tempers ran high. A plague on both your houses. With such heat, it made sense that Ancient Rome apparently allowed […]Read Post ›
