I don’t know who needs to hear this, or if anyone needs to hear this, but it is a truth not oft-universally acknowledged that hamsters love spaghetti!
And that, my friends, is the wisdom I wish to impart unto you going into 2026.
I hope you all have a fun, safe, restorative holiday. I can’t wait to catch you all on the flip side!
(No hamsters were harmed in the making of this photo.)
(In fact, they were delighted.)
(Yes, that is a real hamster eating spaghetti. The hamster is mine. That is my daughter’s hand.)
(This post has nothing to do with literary magazines. I just wanted to say Happy New Year to you all.)
Happy New Year to you all, my wonderful Lit Mag News family!
Be well and I’ll see you soon.
Becky
Happy New Year Becky! (When my daughter was young we had hamsters and discovered their love for pasta, too!) Thank you for being a bright beacon in 2025. Health and happiness to you and yours in 2026!
Happy New Year, Becky! And thank you for all the work you put into this community. You have the best substack, your content is top notch, and your graphics never fail to put a smile on my face.
