Dear DIAGRAM subscribers: we're writing here, a little late, with news of the new issue, DIAGRAM 24.4: http://thediagram.com/24_4.
As the close readers will notice, we've switched from our old email provider, MailChimp, since they finally priced legacy users like us way out of range, to a new solution. So this may look a little different than our historical emails, but don't worry, it's us! The same DIAGRAM. Did we mention we turn 25 this year? Holy cow. Time to do some, like, stretches and stuff.
So, news of the new: ISSUE 24.4 is live, and features:

A sample from the issue, from ON XANAX IN BUFFALO by Erika Walsh
You are newly graduated from college and you are on Xanax and you are in Buffalo. You left Ithaca in a hurry, after Cam pushed you outside of Lot 10. Fine, you said. I'll leave.
You removed yourself from your sublet, blocked your almost-roommates when they called, blocked your almost-landlord and the electric company and the almost-boss that hired you for your almost-job. You feel bad. You feel righteous. You feel committed to your shame.
You do not spend the summer in Ithaca teaching kids at an afterschool program. You do not take the bus thirty minutes each way to the school. You do not pay a single bill. You do not have to be a person.
You come to Buffalo.
Read the whole piece here.

Pretty cool. Simple really. Just art, literature, and schematic, like you know and love.
We hope you're well.
Hoping for your new work and a stronger world this year.
