Today, Alabama decided, I mean, 25 old white cismen decided, to put womens lives in jeopardy effectively criminalizing abortion, & Taiwan legalized gay marriage, & the U.S.'s first gay Muslim judge was found at the bottom of the Hudson.  All the while, I watched and worried over My bruised little mushroom head.

It’s hard to stop a train they saidIt’s hard to stop a trainYet we stopped a trainIt may plunge through American Democracy It may divide us like never before It may bring us, they say, bring us close to a total civil warBut that does not mean we cannot do itBy god, that means we must get to itWe must throw our bodies in front of itWe must unite, or die- to pull the tracks out from under itWe mu...

Ronald Reagan Rich explores the war on drugs and what role the American government played in the influx of drugs during the Reagan era. Surely the heavy drug trafficking of the time made a horrible impact on many communities but were these same communities helped along? We ask the question in a satirical way that flips corruption and capitalism on it's head.  Furthermore, the biggest intent her...

If I can be allowed to be ever so slightly cliche, the past 3 years of brexit turmoil in the U.K. has taught me that there is indeed, nothing great about Britain. At least not anymore.As a native of a deprived seaside town in the southwest of the U.K., I have seen firsthand the effects of, coming up upon, 10 years of Conservative party rule. Amongst the busy streets of Exeter, Devons main cit...

Long gone nowAre the days of formalMeetings with no trousers onIs the new normalWhy bother getting readyWhy even leave your bedIt's not like you can go outsideYou're trapped inside your headWhen that useless puppetGathers the public and the pressIt only gets more complex,Bloodstained hands just make more messHe speaks fluent nonsenseLocal leaders have no ideaHow to enforce local restrictionsWit...

I specialise in horror illustration, but love to do conceptual and editorial work when I can. This last year especially has made me quite resentful of the rich and elite, and so I created this sociopolitical satire design to express my feelings on the matter. 

In 2019, the United Nations have stated that 1 billion people live in poverty in the developing world. This essay will argue that poor health care, early marriages and poor infrastructure are caused by political factors such as corrupt and incompetent governments. One factor that affects poverty in the developing world is poor health. 15% of the population in Mozambique, between the ages of 15-...

Life is short for you on long hot days,September 21st didn't get past 12pmfor you.Dan McGrew, what would you doif you knew there was no time?When I was nine and stayed at the farm,Cherry never felt better.I eat my dessert firstand have five second helpings.Our family tree can't be that great ifit let you drop off the branch.I'll throw you a party when it's time.

You and your Spanish name:you really do have a way with swords.To have made me feel I was older,or that I was a silver medal holder.Months on,I wish we'd never called.The worst part isI keep a line in herebecause I hear it in your voice.Narrating my nightmaresto tell methe unreal.

The middle men sport ties,The middle men serve money,When others are in crisis The middle men eye bounty. The middle men fly business class,Are anodyne and ruthless,The middle men loathe equity,Equality and justice. The middle men tell lies And thrive behind the scenes,The middle men are seldom what they seem.The middle men are systemised,Ubiquitous and soulless;They consider it a virtueTo hav...

The blue symbols that double as the soldiers' eyes also double as the Ukrainian trident.The culture war between Russia and Ukraine has been playing out for decades. As always, one of the key battlefields is language. Russian was the de facto official language of the Soviet Union and it wasn’t until 1989 that Ukrainian was declared the official l...

In the distance, a baby wails. Above him drape the angel wings of a pillow fort’s white blankets. As we step closer, stained glass emerges, and a cradle, a candle on cloth. “Waaaaa!” goes the baby. A man hovers over it. “God,” the man says, “why did this have to happen to me?” It’s a gross baby. A fairy buzzes in. “Yes, yes,” the fairy agrees, “your first ones were prettier.” The fairy has a f...
