A Note to the Other Driver at the Intersection of Broad and Elm at 7:45 this Morning

It’s true that if you hadn’t cut me off, you might have arrived at your destination 10 or even 15 seconds later than you did. But you might have arrived at your destination as a decent person, not a reeking asshole.

Update on Our Kickstarter Campaign: One Week to Go!

We’d love to reach more readers and to raise the funds through Kickstarter to both pay our contributors more and improve the quality of printing. If we can raise just a few hundred dollars more, we can improve the paper quality, which will make the magazine that much more enticing to hold—and caress, and cuddle—while you imbibe the revelatory fiction and satire within its covers.

As I Lay Dying Because You Useless Jerks Wouldn’t Let Me Be Vaccinated

As I Lay Dying Because You Useless Jerks Wouldn’t Let Me Be Vaccinated

Thanks. This is awesome. Didn’t you get the memo that parents are supposed to protect their kids, not endanger them? No, you probably didn’t.

Again, thanks.

The new print magazine motivating all this thanking is called The Stoneslide Corrective No. 1, and will include moving fiction, refreshing satire, and spots of pure zaniness. It will reach high enough to tickle the winged thoughts of a philosopher and low enough to stroke the feet of a giggly toddler. It will include contributions from great writers, like Mark Wisniewski, Douglas W. Milliken, Jude Polotan, Sati Melendez, Libby Cudmore, Will Mayer, Ellen Larson, and Kiik A.K.

Thank you for reading. Check out the new plumage at thestoneslide.com.

Back Stoneslide today!

We’re running a Kickstarter campaign to help us produce our first print edition. You can support everything Stoneslide does and get your own copy of a beautiful, new magazine.
