New on The RQ Review: No Gods, No Masters
1/3) In the new media landscape, there is no rest for those who seek truth. Can we really expect people to know what's happening in the world when we're awash in clickbait, stymied by changing algorithms & misled by corporate media?
2/3) Featuring original photos from @FordFischer, this longform report by RQ Ideas Editor Walter Foley is now available in full online for you to enjoy and share with friends. "No Gods, No Masters" originally appeared in Vol. 2, Issue Four 'Renaissance.' rootquarterly.com/rq-review/…
3/3) In addition to speaking w/ national & international media producers, you'll also find appearances by leaders of local independent media outlets @thephilacitizen, @merionwest, & @BroadAndLiberty in "No Gods, No Masters." Check it out on The RQ Review rootquarterly.com/rq-review/…
Vol. 2 Issue 4: RENAISSANCE is here. Don't miss a meta-media deep dive w/ a journalist present at the 1/6 insurrection, a profile of artist Michael Grimaldi, love for indie bookstores and Philly’s print renaissance, pandemic puppies, and more. Get yours: rootquarterly.com

We equate “apocalypse” with disaster, but it’s also a means of uncovering, of revelation, of great visions, of a turning point. Through interviews, original art, poetry, book excerpts, and fiction we connect with Philadelphia artists and small business owners,
explore themes of optimism and existential risk - and of course, there are zombies - in the Winter 2020 issue, APOCALYPSE. Subscribe or purchase your copy today: rootquarterly.com/apocalypse

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Ryan Adams' 'Heartbreaker,' so we're revisiting "Hell is Love," a 2019 piece from Philly-based writer Lauren Leonard.
"In the way of Whitman & Jackson & Mitchell & so many others, he has given me beautiful, emotionally powerful things..."
"Also...he has forced me to reflect on things. For instance, why are most of my literary heroes straight, white men? And how do I speak candidly about the way women knowingly use sex to get what they want without having to forfeit my feminist card & be accused of victim-blaming?"
This essay originally appeared in Vol. 1 Issue Two: MONSTERS, and is up in full on The RQ Review. 20% of proceeds of single-issue sales of MONSTERS over the next 30 days will be donated to @KnowYourBeards. rootquarterly.com/rq-review/…
