Way to predict an underwater volcano, scientists! Maybe Coco Chanel was a Nazi (maybe a lot of things). Ancient Egyptians understood the importance of good hair. Here are your wonderful…

Fun fact: you’re being totally racist when you talk about what kind of comedy you like. River wolves eeeeee! You ain’t so old moon. 1960s futurescapes. Also, brand new Portuguese…

Stay away from me hyper-aggressive rats! It’s always a good day to think about world’s fairs of the past. Scientifically explaining drunk vision. Literary pets are also wonderful things to…

What do we do now that the shuttles are gone? Party time on mars! Empty gas stations are pretty beautiful (blah blah blah). You know what the best thing is?…

It’s important to remember sometimes that basically we don’t know anything. Say hi to our little asteroid buddy. The solution to all our transit woes is SLIDES. It’s always a…

Here are some things involving the Milky Way. Are you very afraid of small clusters of holes? Aren’t we all? Perhaps we’ve been thinking about cancer all wrong. Soviet movie…

Scientists are probably just hoarding all the time travel for themselves. Visualizing a life. There is totally (probably) water on Mars, hella (probable) water. Warning: human jell-o is coming. The…

Holy cow, y’all check out Pluto’s new moon? Riding around the universe in Einstein’s tomb. Perhaps you want to build a bomb in the 16th century. Way to x-ray a…

COMMUNITY SUPPORT KEEPS THE MAGAZINE GOING!

Founded in 2009, The Rumpus is one of the longest-running online literary magazines around. We’ve been independent from the start, which means we’re not connected with any academic institution, wealthy benefactor, or part of a larger publishing company. The vast majority of the magazine’s funding comes from reader support.

In other words, we can’t survive without YOU!

Keep in Touch

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.

We support independent bookstores! 10% of sales on any titles purchased through our Bookshop.org page or affiliate links benefits the magazine.
