Vol. XI: “PARA/SOCIAL” is the vulnerable examination of disconnected intimacy: the guilty glow left in a club bathroom, the salty taste of disappointment in a thousand layer cake. Stripped of the filters of time, nostalgia, and desire, these stories glimpse the humanity that connects us more deeply through their universality. We hope you’ll stan.
