Hello, friends. We are moving The Coil away from the staticness of the Medium platform and to a new home on its own site. Currently, medium.com/the-coil will work and get you to the magazine, but thecoilmag.com is no longer redirecting there. @CoilMag #CoilMag

For anyone who lost a publication space at Catapult due to the mag's closure and needs a space for an essay or piece, we're happy to provide a home at The Coil. We can't pay whatever Catapult was paying, but we have 85k readers and are here if you need us. thecoilmag.com

“What makes us who we are is not just our memories, but also our ability to understand loss.”
“Oh, Fry … don’t you know that no matter how long any of us live, we never, ever, figure out how to feel ways about stuff?”
