Feeling a need to connect? Check out our new issue!
It’s here! Throw your arms around Issue 16: explore the isolation and seek connection in the void.
It’s got crab claws and viola strings, pop tabs and yurts, rarefied air and the weakest tea you’ve ever had. Come on in and cozy up.

You won't have to be lonely much longer! Our fall issue comes out later this month, but we'll spend the week revisiting those lovely folks from issue 15.
Hi @USRepMikeFlood, I live in your hometown of Norfolk, NE and believe these women absolutely represent our values: freedom of expression, bodily autonomy, safety, democracy, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to name a few.
Check out the new issue of @vastchasmmag 🖤
The yearning is over! Launch yourself into the new issue and face the uncertainty with these fantastic contributors.

I asked the introducer of Nebraska’s anti-trans bathroom bill how she knows I was assigned female at birth. She conceded that she doesn’t know. The reality is, this bill would turn every public bathroom into a battleground where ppl are harassed and reported based on stereotypes.
This is what a president sounds like
Our hearts break for the families who lost loved ones in the tragic plane and helicopter crash at DCA. Michelle and I send our prayers and condolences to everyone who is mourning today, and we’re grateful to the first responders who are doing everything they can to help under extremely difficult circumstances.
