Sweet, clever flash piece up this week. Open "Intruder" from @jordyndamatoo and make sure you sit far enough away that whoever's haunting your house can catch a glimpse at this fire writing too. Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/10-20…

Wonderful flash up this week that captures the corporate grind a little too accurately. But maybe with a bit of a twist. Grab your magnifying glass and investigate "Keep This Machine Running" from Nick Porisch Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/10-6-…
