This day 3 years ago I was 40 weeks pregnant, wondering and waiting and walking. On the precipice of so much change. She didn’t come on her due date (not for my lack of trying) but it still feels like a day worth marking.🫀

Get ready to cry 🥲
Author Rachael K. Jones is known for writing stories that are so knife-sharp that you cut yourself when you pick them up. Her story "Five Functions of Your Binosaur," from Issue 4, is a gentler story, though still bittersweet.
Five Functions of Your Bionosaur - Small Wonders
The bionosaur was a baby shower gift from your mom's favorite aunt. They were nervous about its size, the stainless steel maw, the retractable razorclaws inside its stubby little arms, but the aunt had insisted.
