Letter from the editor:
What a few months. We're catching our breath at Hyperallergic after a shocking March, while continuing to plan for the year ahead. To all of those who have so far become members, thank you!
Your support keeps us going. I'm not kidding, it really does. We're 790 contributions away from our goal, so please consider giving now and joining over 2,200 people who have already given. Our tote bags (for members) are already being prepared and will go out in the summer.
