Leah, a member of this community, shares, “I just wanted to thank everyone who's supported IrkedMagazine.com. For two years now, Sach and I have worked through sweat, tears, panic and hopelessness, and you guys -- this forum -- have helped us stay strong. Some of you have even contributed to the magazine! So thanks for your faith, and your support. We finally launched the first issue! Check it out at IrkedMagazine.com.”

Irked Magazine, “Lurking in the shadows of our psyches is often a feeling of being dissatisfied, unheard, and invalidated for our beliefs and values, for our realities, for who we are. Whether we are the ‘elite’ of society, or the ‘downtrodden,’ we often feel, shall we say, irked by the silent emotions to which we wish to give voice. Through our telling, we become as real as we can hope to be and through our speaking we become as powerful—a voice with which to be reckoned."
