Aaron Bushnell. Free Palestine.
A feature piece by kp: Having asked the incredibly talented kp if they would be willing to write a feature, carte blanche we felt that the story they share needs to be heard. What we recieved was stark, powerful and utterly horrifying. Resultingly, we've interrupted the rather loose 'schedule' because some things are just more important.

On Seeking Intention.
Since long before the birth of ViM, Judey has been a writer on Vocal (and beyond) that we have all admired. Not only are her words authentic and true. AKA No bullshit alley, Judey is a tremendous advocate for integrity in the community - she is always fighing to ensure that Vocal stands up and tells the bots to stand down. See the invaluable guide:

Around the world in 50 states
Dalle Generated As you’ve probably come to realize us at ViM are over sharers! Community is in our collective hearts and what better way to connect and learn more about the world we inhabit that through food. Sharing cuisine is at the heart of family occasions, traditional celebrations feature in our memories as we grow into our lives and create new ones. A fondness for a grandmother’s dish. A moment of realisation. Love. Food represents us. Across cultures, the power of chicken soup to soothe the soul sums up the concept of togetherness for us. A metaphorical ladle of hope in a world that can be both confusing and chaotic.

Weekend Rewind-Rediscovered Riches
Vocal moves at the speed of light. In a whirlwind of submit, hearts and comments, the enthusiasm quickly wanes as publications move onwards through the conveyor belt of creation. The new overshadows the old. This is the way of the world but, as a result, our words are buried, forgotten or are never even given the daylight they deserve. Treasures missed, gems left in the history of the ever scrolling feed.

Proud ViM,'Top Notes'
Our world has faced challenges many times over the course of its charred and destructive history. There have always been people and forces of evil with ill intent; bound by the dogged arrogance that their opinion and beliefs should be set upon the world. As we collectively, or rather those in the echelons of power, never seem to learn, the minions amongst us are invariably left holding the shattered glass of humanity. Bearing the consequences in our souls.

To Collab...Or Not to Collab?
A feature article by the wonderful Paul Stewart, you can delve into his words here: The good and the great Celia in Underland and Mother Combs asked if I would like to write something for ViM Productions. Initially, it would be an interview, but for undisclosed reasons, this was a logistical nightmare for me. There was a suggestion of doing a "send me the questions" and "I'll send the answers" style thing, but that would have felt stilted and dull as dishwater to read. So, the idea was put to me about writing an article of some sort.

Combs & Underland Down The Rabbit Hole With...
Welcome to the Library AKA, 'The Warren!' "We're all mad here." The idea for, 'Down the Rabbit Hole with...' was born when the realisation hit that, as well as their love of penning, both Mother Combs and Celia in Underland are inherently curious (and curiouser) about other writer's, their thought processes and inspiration as well as who they are behind the keybard, of if they're more retro cool, the pen.We weren't sure if anyone would want to be,
