We at Lot’s Wife recognise the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nations as the historical and rightful owners and custodians of the lands and waters on which this newspaper is produced. The land was stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. Lot’s Wife condemns and will not publish any material that is racist, sexist, queerphobic, ableist or discriminatory in any nature.

You made it past all the construction, renovation and “renewal” Monash is undertaking to a Lot’s Wife stand! You now hold in your hands your very own student magazine: full of fun, facts, and frankly a fuckton of words, all written by students just like yourself. Over 50 talented and attractive people have been hard at work over their summer break, mashing words together, putting brush to canvas, and staying up late staring at screens, all in the service of bringing you some amazing content to read on the toilet. Or the bus. Or in that lecture (yes I mean you). I really hope you’re having an awesome time at Monash, whether you’re a first, second or sixth year. The first month back is always a shitshow, but it’ll pick up. The university isn’t all bad, except for that one lecturer (not you, don’t worry), and even if they are, Lot’s Wife is here for you in your time of need. Like right now. You really needed something to read, right? Right? Of course I’m right, I’m always right. Except right now, because I’m on the left. Whoops.
CARINA FLOREA It’s not everyday that someone gives you the chance to make a magazine, yet for some odd reason it landed in our not so trusty hands. And with great power, comes great responsibility, which is why we felt it in our best interest to create a pretty magazine that can keep you company on those long bus rides home or when there’s lousy smarch weather outside. Be sure to check out the tear-out poster/calendar and hang it above your bed or colour it in as you wish. But I’ve got to admit, making a magazine is hard work and we couldn’t of done it without the help of our newly made team of beautiful and amazing writers, illustrators and designers. Specifically, Natalie, our designer who had to put up with our terrible singing in the office for days on end, our sub-editors and illustrators who have worked so hard to help put this thing together, and just everyone who came in during the holidays to make this thing happen! LISA HEALY Hey sxc chicas and papas. I promise you, I initially had something real good written up. I swear. Alas, like everything else that manages to exist in my world, I have left this to the night before the final copy is due and am struggling to fill the void that is currently my empty editorial space. So here I am. Look, I’m not going to sugar coat it: making a magazine is really fucking hard. It’s almost as hard as boiling an egg properly (all those ‘perfect egg in 2 minute’ recipes are kidding themselves) or sitting through an episode of Making a Murderer without wanting to scream at the TV every time an Avery says ‘yeah’. In reality, thanks to a whole lot of uber-brilliant people who chose to come to Clayton on their holidays – you know who you are - this pillar of salt (aka Edith) was able to remain upright and extra salty. Right now, I feel like I’m delivering an Oscar speech and the orchestra is ready to drown me out but before I go, please read Lot’s lots. I’m about 81% sure Sanders would approve and 19% sure Clinton would hate it. xo Lot’s Wife | 5
