Impspired Issue 32

Welcome to Impspired Issue 32!

32 is a number with backbone. Literally. That’s how many vertebrae we’ve got in our human spines. It’s what holds us upright, lets us twist and bend and look over our shoulder at all the strange choices we’ve made. 32 is also the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit – so it’s right on the edge of change. Liquid to solid. Maybe even chaos to calm (or the other way around, depending on your mood). Beethoven wrote 32 piano sonatas. There are 32 teams in the NFL. The goddess Durga is said to have 32 names. There are 32 teeth in an adult human mouth, which seems like an oddly poetic number to chew life with.

And this? This is Issue 32 of Impspired. Full of sharp minds, warm voices, and stories with bite.
