helloooo gorgeous people!!! issue two drops on April 25th!!! thank you to all these wonderful people <3
hello beautiful people our temporary new domain is theperipelican.wixsite.com/my-site-1
hey guys. lets chat. just clearing it up before anyone asks. Issue two will still be happening. We’re still reading and things will still happen according to schedule. We’re about halfway through everyone. But man. I hate to say this. I’ve agonized over this. But i gotta. 🧵
Hi y’all I’m alive Life is just crazy right now
also just putting it out there since it was asked no the issue two theme isn’t ‘the truth is I want to live’ it is absolutely ‘the truth is I want to want to live’ the double want is intentional like the thing that you want is the desire to live. You might not want to live but you want to want it
Psssst sending the first 20-30 ish responses this weekend and on Monday heheheheheh
in case you missed it — a fun spooky vegetable piece by simon collinson !! “But for me there is only one. Breakfast, dinner or tea, It's got to be a Heathcliff, the Gothic Potato.” www.periwinklepelicanlit.com/post/the-got...
the gothic potato - simon collinson
People have their own favourite type of potato. Some like Arran Pilot, or some go crazy for Desiree, others think Cara is the best. But for me there is only one.Breakfast, dinner or tea,It's got to be a Heathcliff, the Gothic Potato.Being Gothic, this potato enjoys being buried and regularly earthed up with soil. It likes being shielded from direct sunlight. It welcomes darkness and shadow.It prefers to be planted on its own. No rows of trenches for this solitary one.It yearns to be buried upon
