With the publication of this issue, officially half of the output Translunar Traveler’s Lounge will be pandemic editions. When the two of us set out to start this magazine, it was important to us to fill a niche for stories that made us feel happy and even hopeful. The stories we’ve published—and many of the ones we haven’t—have offered us those sparks of human connection that we’ve lost so many avenues for in our lives, and we hope they’ve brought you some of the same.
