This weekโ€™s ad slot was purchased by friend of Foofaraw, Evan Passero, in support of Elevated Accessโ€”a non-profit organization that enables people to access healthcare by providing flights on private planes at no cost, whose volunteer pilot network transports clients seeking abortion or gender-affirming care across the United States.

Foofaraw will match up to $300 in donations to DIFFA Dallas, Elevated Access, and Denton Community Food Center through the remainder of 2025.

Happy, happy Saturday! Iโ€™m going to start off by asking for a huge favor. Chill Subs is running their Best Lit Mag Awards and Iโ€™d be absolutely honored if you could take 60 seconds of your day to vote for usโ€”no account needed, just enter your e-mail, search for Foofaraw, pick three tags, and youโ€™re done. Maybe tell a friend while youโ€™re at it...

Best Lit Mag Awards - Chill Subs
Welcome to Chill Subsโ€™ 3rd annual Community Favorites Best Lit Mag Awards! Vote for your favorite literary magazines and celebrate the publications that make our community thrive.

Anyway, if that wasnโ€™t enough self-promotion and favor asking, The Bodies has been getting some wonderful reviews on Amazon and Goodreads... (hint, hint...) And if you haven't picked up a copy yet, shame on you!

The Bodies by D.H. Parish
a 46-page print novella
