Pretend // Tricia Knoll — MAGPIE ZINE Let’s play spaceship in this generously decorated refrigerator box which pretends to guard against heat, meteors, and news flashes about dead friends.

Talk of off-ramps...and sometimes flights of fantasy. A poem on Magpie Zine -- "Pretend" that soars into imagination.

@bsky.app Trump wants to be on a gold coin. This breaks a tradition of not minting coins for a sitting President. Write to this committee which must approve new coinage. They are the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. See its web page. Email info@ccac.gov
