Today we got a music review of Puerto Rican punk band #davila666 with words by @zachcjensen and fotos by Bowie de la Peña. Give it a read. angelcityreview.com/davila-666-at-…

@Vanessid It's getting even more atrocious out there. But everything that is happening seems to just get brushed aside. Heck, no one in the USA is even remotely alarmed that a very large foreign interest group has been actively funding the victories and defeats of their opposition.

@Vanessid Absolutely agree I (@zachcjensen) will never use AI for any creative, academic, or personal use. The theft of culture, hard work by POC, damage to nature, and the damage to critical thinking skills is so immense. I see the damage already in these few short years in my classes.

Back with another LA based music article by a few young artists in the music scene. They cover the thrashy shoe gaze influenced bad Wazoo and their new full length Asco. Give it a read angelcityreview.com/asco-by-wazoo/

today @jd_venegas returns with an insightful read of Lex Icon by Salette Tavares, translated by @sobralcampos and Kristofer Peterson-Overton. John Says "it is the kind of text that challenges and helps you to push through the noise" @uglyducklingprs angelcityreview.com/lex-icon-by-sa…

Back at it with another book review today. @RentPoet gives a deep reading of Kim Dower's latest poetry collection out on @RedHenPress angelcityreview.com/i-wore-this-dr…

@taleenkali Remember the Health Goth trend?

Today my mom asked me if I’m a goth

@PKhakpour Very similar themes of love triangles. One more direct than the other. Interesting that they were working on such parallel ideas at similar times.

I just found out the guy who wrote Challengers is married to the woman who made PAST LIVES, omg

This has to be one of the strongest unintentional single sentence short stories that has ever existed. It spirals so fast.

We are currently open for submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and translation. Book reviews open year round. This issue is shaping into an unofficial theme of writings around identity, memory, family, and the trauma/joys that come from it. Send us your work. Reading now

@KinsaleDrake Congratulations, we love to see announcements for first books. Here's to much more to come.

my first book is finally available for preorder (with my name spelled correctly!) what a dream come true<3 thank you to everyone who has supported meeee so far<3 it truly means the world<3

@AnneMarieK Even when the game is stacked in their favor, some people just can't pull through. The system still finds a way to be against them 👀

Trying to let 5yo win at air hockey but she’s just so bad, total amateur

@LaurenCraw4d We are also currently open for subs. We don't pay, but we also do not charge reader fees and give our ebook issues away for free. So that kind of evens out. This issue is shaping up around themes of identity, memory, family, and the joys/traumas that come for all that.

looked out the hotel window (London) and thought, Ah those impressionist painters just had lace curtains that was the problem
