Love the site! Could honestly be my new digital "home."

The response to Colophont has been so warm & generous. I hope you all find it helps your work connect with a wider, more engaged audience. Tons of great writing on the site already. X didn't show me this @BurialMagazine, but Colophont knew I'd love it. colophont.com/post/cmvsitbyk…

Stick to something but go slow, and telephone you after dark, after practice, after I crack my neck in 1000 places.

I love great writing and hate how it's treated on the internet. So I built something to try to fix that. If you wish there were a better place to share your writing, to discover new work, to talk culture and books, then I invite you to read—and to join me.

Why don't they just leave NYC? I'm not trying to be callous, but there's a whole wonderful world out there that's more affordable. nytimes.com/2026/10/25/nyreg…

Can’t Afford a Home. Can’t Afford a Baby. Can’t Afford Life. This is 30.

They’re trying to build middle-class lives in New York. But many 30-year-olds in the city feel worse off than their parents. Is it average adult angst? Or something more enduring?

Need someone to invent a metal straw that doesn't feel like I'm drinking from a pipe.

Is Proust a feminist? Is Thomas Mann a queer ally? Is this modernist novel my friend?

hard to look at the Catapult situation and think it amounts to anything other than unionbusting by a rich kid who decided to take her ball and go home, even worse when you remember that Counterpoint has a legendary backlist they’ve been selling for pennies on the dollar for years
