For years, it has been a long running joke to toss “Leaf of Faith” out to the staff during our theme pitch meetings. Every single one. We’ll pitch as usual and then about halfway through, a smirk will creep across Danita’s face before she reminds us, “Leaf of Faith is probably our best option.” Well, here we are. The moment has finally come, and “Leaf of Faith” takes center stage. Whatever that means.
With that context in mind, you can see why the sixty-eighth issue of Loco Mag, Leaf of Faith is very special to us! Within it you’ll find some of our best pieces yet! Jake spends some time thoughtfully ranking houseplants, Sierra points at kids and laughs while they eat shit at a trampoline park, Danita discusses what it means to be seen through an interview and reflection on Arcadia’s Missed Connections, Dakota remembers leafing through the saddest books, and so much more. Take that leap (leaf) and enjoy, friends!
Now go read and leaf us alone,
Ryan, Danita, and the Loco Mag Staff
