What is Swamp Rag?

It's LYR's brand new arts & culture newspaper made by artists, musicians, and writers. It's a great way to stay connected to subculture in the SWFL area, support print media, and get off the internet.

Advice Inquiries

LYR's advice column is seeking inquiries on a rolling basis. This advice column is a little different: you'll likely be advised on what NOT to do, rather than what you should do. It's bad, out there, nonsense advice from someone you'd never take advice from. So, if you'd like to know what you should absolutely not do in your situation, ask us for advice.
