what is p & p?

pieces & periods is a publication about power, culture, and the messiness of the world.

who pulls the strings, who gets squeezed, and who’s paying attention.

we cover conflict, repression, foreign influence, and the systems that make it all possible.

No big narrative. No fake neutrality.

Just trying to make sense of how things really work.
