so happy to be a contributor on this special zine for Palestine, thank you to Luke for putting this beautiful work together
the Palestine volume is now live on the site and is free to read, download, print, and distribute. it's not what's needed now, but it's one way we could think to help, and we hope you'll read it and consider helping in whatever way you can.

WARNING: PREPARE TO MEET GOD by

is small town queer americana in a bottle. I love how the titular evangelical ad is flipped on its head:
