Budget context:
the poetry editor was Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown. & UNLV can't figure it out. i just want to point out that the UNLV football coach makes $625,000 a year &the Wolf Pack has $2.225 million tied into football coaching staff for the 2020 season. higher ed makes me so mad https://t.co/CvGthrt7dq— Patrycja (@jej_sen) October 19, 2021

The other shoe (is a dildo, apparently):
Hi, this is the new owner of The Believer. We purchased the website to keep the archives up. Our goal is to bring back the magazine, but since it was losing tens of thousands a month we need to get it making money using SEO then use that to bring back all the original writers.— The Sex Toy Collective (@ST_Collective_) May 9, 2022

a true literary clusterfuck

A little more context: McSweeney's was supposedly interested in buying it back, but UNLV sold it to the Sex Toy Collective instead.
Alright. Here’s what happened. I left The Believer in July, and a few months later its parent institution, the Black Mountain Institute based at UNLV, announced it was shuttering the magazine. It went up for sale. https://t.co/wB5TDrOrgD— Kristen Radtke (@KristenRadtke) May 10, 2022

I wonder how many writers are going to come back to The Believer (NSFW)

Introducing The Believer's audience (and a sizable percentage of its writers, probably) to the concept of sex can only be a good thing.
