A collection where raw truth becomes the first step toward liberation.

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Thorn & Bloom Magazine today announced the release of its powerful third edition, "The Splinters We Carry." This quarterly publication is dedicated to exposing the harmful structures and internal demons that shape our lives, framing self-awareness as the first step toward liberation.

This latest issue offers a bold examination of the "thorns" embedded in society—the systemic injustices and psychological burdens that puncture our autonomy and distort self-perception. Through raw essays, poetry, and reflections, the magazine dissects how politics, racism, misogyny, and inherited trauma socialize us into cycles of harm, urging readers to confront these forces directly.

"This edition is about making the invisible visible," says Kirsty Anne Richards, Founder and Editorial Director of Thorn & Bloom. "We're exposing the thorns—both in society and within ourselves—so we can understand our socialization, face our inner demons, and ultimately pull them out. True self-care begins with this courageous awareness."
