@thedrellum sat down with us to chat this week and our latest interview is up: https://www.radonjournal.com/interviews/conversation-with-andrew-kozma

He explores the spark of his anarchist Issue 8 poem that was written during Trump's first term, anti-police brutality, why it's so uncommon for people to fight for a better world, and even the nuance between a PhD and MFA in Creative Writing #interview

Good morning. Today I got a very interesting response to a freedom of information request from Transport for Wales.

They pay almost £800,000 per year to an external contractor for "revenue protection" (which means enforcing ticket fines).

They earn ~£80,000 per year from ticket fines and penalty fares.

Which means they're paying ten times what they're making back from this process.
