The Rose at the Table
Today is International Women's Day. A day we celebrate how far women have come. And they have gone the distance. But we also remember the women before, and the women of the present, who still remain the the beautiful rose on the table.

A More Human Vocal
When we launched Vocal nearly a decade ago, the world was a very different place. LLMs did not exist, and stories were created one at a time by people sitting down to write, revise, and share something personal. Many of our assumptions about publishing, trust, and participation were built for a world where effort and output were inseparable.
