All in Chief Editor's Note
The solstice is but a few days hence, and night has taken its yearly respite. It's a thrilling and troubling time for night creatures such as myself. Some are born to night, which is its own kind of sweet delight, but what's a mid-bluish night without stars?
During a bout of textural appreciation, I first encountered reference to ASMR deep in the comments of a noise upload. ASMR is also noise, but not music.

Some Tuesdays in March you wake up a rainbow princess bag lady. On a wet November day you may be the ghost of a drowned snail. For every other person escaping into their costume, I’m willing to bet there’s one who’s reveling in the rare chance to dress as themself.
I'm happy to be taking the helm at Better Than Sliced Bread with such a great issue. While I've been an active contributor and editor at BTSB for the past three years, taking up the mantle of the Editor in Chief necessitates a shift in perspective.
