Mabel No. 5 Living in the Now

Mabel Magazine No. 5: Living in the Now. This issue we’ve gathered a group of women who share their experiences, stories, and views on the last 10 months of 2020.

We think it’s pretty safe to say that most of us have never experienced the amount of chaos, uncertainty, and fear that's been moving through the world this year. Let’s review: A worldwide pandemic that as of this writing has killed 1.3 million+ people worldwide; civil and human rights inequities that we can no longer ignore; a divisive and contested election; millions of people out of work; kids being Zoom-schooled at home while their parents work at the dining room table.

Most days? If you’re experiencing what we are, you’re exhausted just getting through each day.

Writing from Laurie Wagner, Jen Lee, Jill Salahub, Cassandra Cleghorn, and Natalia Zukerman (among others). Poetry by Allison Luterman, Anne Carmack and Naomi Shihab Nye. Art and photography from Katherine Fraser, Kelly Barton, Chrissy Collins, and Stephanie Williamson.
