Dream, Girls. A Fundraising Zine for Black Trans Femmes! Highlighting @djerikakayne ✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹
・・・
Hi y’all! Today we are announcing the launch of “Dream, Girls. A Fundraising Zine for Black Trans Femmes.”

We have created this zine to support the lives of 10 amazing Black Trans Femmes that we admire, love, and keep close to our heart. 

This zine contains the wisdom of 10 Black Trans Femmes, responding to the question: "What does a world where Black Trans Femmes can thrive look like to you?" We believe that we must dream and envision a world that we want to see, and specifically follow and support the leadership of Black Trans Femmes in getting there. This zine also includes custom painted illustrations of each of the folks featured. Over the next 2 weeks we will be releasing each of the illustrations leading up to the full zine release.

Today we uplift @djerikakayne who says that “A world where black trans femmes can thrive looks safe. Safe for all black trans femmes to live ad express their gender without fear of violence.”

Cash app: $misserikakayne
Venmo: @misserikakayne

You can also support her directly by donating to her Gofundme supporting her Transition fund, and booking her to DJ your next party 👀✨💕

Dream, Girls will feature:

@simolovemusique 
@daviaspain 
@bettsurevolt 
@therealedgeslayer 
@keelahtay 

We are selling this zine at a minimum suggested donation of $20, but we also encourage folks who are interested in supporting this effort to pay what you can. All of the funds raised for this zine will be distributed equally among the 10 Femmes featured. We have hopes of raising $10,000 to be distributed, which equates to the purchase of 500 copies at the suggested donation. We hope you can help us raise this amount and achieve our goal to support these amazing beings.

If you would like to support and pre-order the zine, please visit the link in our bio.

Mercury, Covid, Have Mercy!

Collaborative group projects are especially difficult when everyone lives different places (Oakland, LA, Nevada City, Davis, NY to name a few), but we pulled through for our FOURTH annual Mercury, Have Mercy! calendar.

In lieu of our monthly horoscopes we decided instead to take it easy on you with a more gentle approach. Every month we wrote a thoughtful and timely suggestion to improve your life just a little in this hellscape.

Pre-orders are shipped and new orders will be going out ASAP!

A big ol’ shout out to Sarah Francis (cover design), George Salazar and Sam Levin (self love assistance), and last but not least our very own Lizz Carlton and her mom Laurie for hand drawing everything with such care! Printing and binding by Mollie n Holly, the cover paper is Classic Crest Concrete and inside pages are Astrobright Stardust White, coils are.. glow in the dark! For these bleak times, we pray for an easier 2021. Mercury and pandemic please have mercy on us all 🙏 🌚

Public Affairs in print

“I thought this was about technology, about platforms, about voyeurism and the internet. And it is – but I also realised then that this is a memory project, about living through a historic time that feels essential to document and somehow honour, however weighty and costly that sometimes feels.”

Public Affairs is the first book from New York based, London born photographer and designer Emily Nabnian. The photograph collection captures everything she may or may not have posted to Instagram but lived instead – an exploration of a wild year, a hiatus from IG, and the ephemeral experience of the feed.

152 pages, 5.5x8.5”, perfect bound.



Free Space

Soulstice Bay Area was once an in-person platform for social change and creativity, with the Pandemic lastly so much longer than any of anticipated they decided it was time to try something digital. This is their first zine, Free Space about isolation, safe space and being confined to your bedroom during a politic movement. Find them, as well as their zine on their website. We love working with local youth, who inspire us every day.
