ISSUE Magazine is looking for submissions! We’re a Malaysian online magazine/collaborative platform, and we base our content on a monthly theme. We’ve got a focus on Malaysian and Asian voices, but we’re really also looking for well-written personal stories or reports on ideas and opinions. We’re looking for photography, and illustration. We’re looking for strong voices. 
January’s theme is LIGHT. There’s no word limit or restrictions of genre, but we ask that you have a look through our magazine to get a feel of who we are and what we’d like. Due date is New Year’s Eve (December 31st, 2012), but we know parties and resolution-making might get in the way, so anything in by the first week of Jan is safe. 
Email issuemagonline@gmail.com with a pitch, an idea, a query - we’re always excited to hear from new people! Please share this with anyone you think might be keen!

“I don’t think it’s terribly controversial to note that women, from a young age, are required to consider the reality of the opposite gender’s consciousness in a way that men aren’t. This isn’t to say that women don’t often misunderstand, mistreat, and stereotype men, both in literature and in life. But on a basic level, functioning in society requires that women register that men are fully conscious; it is not really possible for a woman to throw up her hands and write men off as eternally unknowable space aliens — and even if she says she has, she cannot really behave as though she has. Every element of her life — from reading books about boys and men to writing papers about the motivations of male characters to being attentive to her own safety to navigating most any institutional or professional or economic sphere — demands an ironclad familiarity with, and belief in, the idea that men really are fully human entities. And no matter how many men come to the same conclusions about women, the structure of society simply does not demand so strenuously that they do so. If you didn’t really deep down believe that women were, in general, exactly as conscious as you, you could probably still get by in life. You could probably still get a book deal. You could probably still get elected to office.”

So useful! I just said all of them aloud. Surprises? BAR-thel-mee (I always drop off that last ‘e’) and THOR-oh (I keep thinking of that episode of Community with Troy saying “Well whaddya know, Henry David Thoreau” to Shirley). Vaguely but almost not at all related.
