- Death, disorder, and depression and only temporary states of being—most of the time—they can keep a neurodivergent away from the computer— In other words, if you've reached out over the last couple of weeks, and haven't heard back—the inbox is working, and so are we.
- Keep sending in your brains' best, weird and wonderful poetry. Deadline is 27 August 2025—and the next issue will be going up live in October!
- Couldn’t happen to a better Meta platform!

- Admittedly, this is a lot of words in one place for a splash promo—but it’s hard to design anything more minimal than APROSEIXA’s already is. Be kind to your brains, and submit your best work before 27 AUG!
- No one lies on Instagram, right? At least, not us. We stand behind each and every one of our posts—as well as our impeccable taste in fonts.
- We were away during the creepy days of peak-nationalism—also, avoiding the machines—but poetry never sleeps. Just like every insomniac loop, where a spectacular fail chases you from grade 3 straight to 4am. Write that stuff down, and send it to us! (Ideally, by AUG 27. Link is in the bio)
- Alright, so as we futz about with our blunt thumbs and low-learning curve, this feed’s going to be a little choppy. The same is not true of our first issue, [case #1]! Visit APROSEXIA.org (on your desktop) to read the first-rate work of our inaugural poets!

- Growing up we’re exposed to countless influences that can be criticized as social conditioning. Books that emphasize the power choice has to change the outcome of a narrative—even from within a clearly defined system—are lessons we should never give up on. Our choices determine how any story ends.

- “One of the Guys”
- “Chappell Roan Works the Register of the Starbucks in the Mayo Clinic”; “Change Nothing and Continue with Immaculate Consistency”
- “Depression Food”; “Scenes from the Bottom”; “Soup for Nothing Days”
- We’re publishing again the fall, 2025—but if you haven’t had the chance to read the work of our gifted poets in [case #1], it’s reading time well spent! aprosexia.org/case1spring
