Harper’s Index is one of my favorite depressing reads, so I decided to take the Index and break it out into smaller bits of harsh realities to be consumed at one's leisure via SMS.

Simply text keyword “Index” to 41411 whenever you can stomach it and you’ll receive an item from the latest Harper’s Index.

Days after I sent this application to Harper's via Twitter that they published the Index online in a searchable format and begin twittering its items: 7.
