I
t’s April. We’re in a bit of a silly mood right now at 22 West Media. Mainly me to be honest. I forced everyone who contributed to this magazine to be funny for one month
or else I was going to make our budget go towards printing one thousand “choose your own adventure” issues. It would have been awesome and entailed you, the reader reading this right now, to make your very own issue of this magazine. Thirty two pages of blank magazine paper, imagine that? Your note could have gone here. You could have written 15 articles. You could have illustrated various art pieces. It would have been unique, like one of those NFTs. But it’s not. We’re in control. You’re reading this mass produced magazine. We live in a society and 22 West Magazine is in control. We are and always will be. There’s so many topics that we touch on this issue. Places to worship Satan, gender neutral bathrooms, squirrels and why hating things is okay. I unironically believe that this edition reaches so many different issues that society refuses to address. Jokes aside, I present to you the jokes from our team and more. Enjoy.
