Issue 3 is everything we need right now. It is beauty and rage, tender and brutal, and it’s coming for you late summer! And since I can’t do anything right the 1st time, please share this version of the flyer. ✨🔥✨

FYI @blacklilyzine.bsky.social friends!

BLACK LILY FRIENDS-
Hey y'all -
The process is processing but it’s going a little slower than I anticipated due to a gnarly car accident. I’m mostly physically okay but my extremely nervous nervous system is being a jerk & the after effects aren’t great/ So—decisions are coming but the issue def won’t be out by the summer solstice. It’ll be sometime this summer though.
<3,
Beth

Welcome, new punk/goth/anti-fascist friends! We’re still looking for all genres (art too). Closing 4/15 & will make all decisions after. It’s just me @bettysueblue.bsky.social as the EIC, @troypalmer.bsky.social (formerly of Little Fiction) as the designer & a rotating, talented team of readers.
