Table - Reformed Journal

Silence Might Help You Cope, But It’s Not How You Survive
E. Jean Carroll was highly criticized for waiting more than 20 years to bring charges against Donald Trump for sexual assault. Her defense: fear. She was also criticized for not screaming and calling for help.

Caught Reading in Southie - three new book reviews for February
Recently, I saw on the news that a plane had taken off, and 20 minutes into the flight – somehow, a panel or a door had been ripped off, air masks dropped, and bright stars could be seen from a passenger’s cell phone video. I probably watched an assortment of videos of it and the follow-up interviews on social media dozens of times – like, WHAT THE HECK? Were people freaking out? Did anything fall out?

Do You Write About That Often? No? Perfect
Editor’s Note The idea for OFF BEAT might seem simple, but it’s been a dream of mine for some time: What if a writer could write about — and publish! — anything that moved them?
