this is just a small group of Gazan families who need support, and each family has their own story--if you're moved by any of these families, any donations would be fantastic!

as for us, for now our sales are over--but we'll return down the line with something new, and that's a promise.

before I keep forgetting to post--

with our leftover sales during @queerzestzinefest.bsky.social, we ended up with a total of $335 in income that was able to be donated!

Digital cover of the World Beyond the Veil, works of transmasculine horror. There's a man laying on a couch fitfully dreaming while a creepy figure leans over from the shadows, watching him sleep.

Light text on dark background reading: "Just four days left. Transmasc horror. WorldBeyond.Carrd.co."

Two keychains with a ghostly design, showing a victorian spirit leaned on a purple gravestone on one side, and an x-ray style image of his skeleton on the other side. The original illustration is on the right.
