We can cross right here. No, it’s perfectly fine. This state has a little something called pedestrian right-of-way, Doug. You can just step out into traffic whenever you want and…

I think I might be an adrenaline junkie, Doug. Well, sure, there’s still the regular junkie part too. But the meth is only fun now when I’m doing crazy shit…

I’m sure they’re dolphins, Doug.  Well then you can slather some SPF 80 on your pussy and sit here on the beach with the rest of the moms.  I rented this boogie board for…

You probably stood up too fast.  All day?  Maybe you’ve been standing up too fast all day then.  No, we’re not getting one.  Because, Doug, those detectors are just a scam…

No, no, no—you wear rubber boots for plumbing work.  Think about it, Doug.  If the pipe breaks, you don’t want your feet to get wet.  For electrical stuff it doesn’t…

I just don’t trust privatized health care, Doug.  I’ll just keep putting Neosporin on it and we’ll see what happens.  And I thought a Brown Recluse is what you called 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.
