Color is Pride: True Colors
Live an authentic life, colorfully.
One day, a human being woke up and saw a new vision.
She realized it was okay to identify as “They”.
They realized the world they lived in looked different.
And, it felt different.
They no longer saw black, white, and the thousands of shades of grey they once did.
They saw a rainbow. And not just a prism’ d up jumble of colors in the sky after a rainstorm.
They saw red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue. And purple.
They it wasn’t just the colors of the rainbow they saw.
They saw life.
Healing.
The sunlight. And nature.
All together, the colors brought harmony to them and their people.
And most importantly, the rainbow they saw reflected their and their people’s spirit.
As they went to bed that night, they felt something new for the first time in their life: hope.
Happiness.
They fear less, to become fearless.
To know the day their eyes would open and see the color of love.
Acceptance.
Authenticity.

Craft Over Catharsis Challenge Winners
Craft Over Catharsis? What the hell does that even mean? The phrase came out of a curation meeting as a genuine question. We had been noticing that many challenge entries, across prompts, naturally gravitate toward trauma, grief, and personal reckoning. That makes sense. Writing is often cathartic. It's one of the ways we process what we've lived through.

'Till Death We Do Art
There would be nothing divine in this world without art. Nature may surpass the divine to all intents and purposes, but like everything it absorbs and is absorbed by, it remains here, stuck on the surface of this world, ever-present, physically bound to the universe.
