Welcome back to the JOSH.  Did you get my message?

Huh, you ask? Indeed, in this second manifestation of the JOSH, fellow Homos are invited to consider the multiple messages transmitted by our selection of art, photography, and writing. Through image making, language, code, gesture, and other channels, Homos have always been masters at crafting identities and directing personal narratives. But in this era of the 24-hour “on” mode, it’s getting harder and harder to get anyone to listen, to discern, to edit.  We hope you can find an “off” mode moment to peruse this issue of the JOSH and discover a message just for you.   – MM + PT
