Just got a rejection on a 3-year-old submission. Srsly? Just let it go, bro. I certainly gave up on it a couple years back.

Just learned that two TDH pieces made the Wigleaf long list this year! Congrats to Sarp Sozdinler ("Abandonware") and Chrissy Stegman ("What Have They Done to the Horses?")! See the whole list here, along with the Top 50: wigleaf.com.
