FEATURED CONTRIBUTOR

Ezzie Brown

Esmeralda Rosalind Brown hates her full name for its pretense of regality, but this is her official bio and I am her brother, so that’s what she gets! She was born on October 1st sixteen years ago and I’ve known her ever since. She’s not too fond of school -- I mean, who isn’t? -- so my parents tried to put her in boarding school for the first two years of high school, but it was too much, being hippie and foodie and no closer to Hogwarts. We love her but it’s not her priority for happiness at this moment -- I’m not sure what is and neither is she, so she’s pretty down. And by pretty down, I mean far too clinically down. But maybe public school is treating her better? I should check in more often. She likes writing poetry and runs cross country because it’s the least competitive sport. She’s full of sass and cracks as many jokes as she does depressing sentiments. I know she’ll figure things out soon, but until then -- she’s still Ezzie.

 

With absolute affection,

Nathaniel

 

Rules to write (live) by -for contributors-

  • By THOMAS JEFFERSON, aka NB

I must not tell lies: from the shrivelled heart of Umbridge to the (hopefully) open hearts of our mission comes our first rule. Lying would obliterate trust like a tree falling on a cone of neapolitan ice cream: smashed, erased, gone forever. You must tell the truth to tell the news. Ignorance is not lying, but it is not an excuse either. If you can’t say something true, then leave it out.

  1. Keep up your contributions: every other week might seem a large commitment but you all committed to this and you only have to write small pieces so be reliable! We all know where we all live (except sometimes Seb).

  2. Have fun! Let’s entertain each other. This should be a fun, easy, nice thing, not stressful or mean. Use it to express yourself when you need to and don’t be afraid of anyone else’s judgement.

  3. Don’t judge! Yes, if a situation seems genuinely dangerous then address it, but otherwise -- this paper should be JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE.

  4. No sludge, don’t judge

  5. Don’t budge, don’t judge

  6. We’ll hit you with a bludgeon if you start judgin

  7. Confidentiality -- these are pen names, not our real names. Our lives are our own; we’re just choosing to share snippets with each other and the public. Therefore, we will write and refer to each other with pen names.

  8. Unconditional love.
