At the very start of our tenure, we wanted to resist the pull of short form content and sensationalised, simple pieces.

To treat time as a pearl, dive into the water to find precious moments, or thread them one by one on a shimmering chain.

This issue urges you to devote some of your precious time to fighting your way out of a sleeping pod, getting directions from a fortune teller, ubering to the nearest PULP stand, planting your ass down on a chair, opening our issue and reading some awesome pieces.

We love you PULP reader, in this minute and the next one,

Jess, Jayden, Portia, Rosanna & Sophie.
