The linked page has links to print the zine holders, and downloads of all of the literature. It also has a link to ongoing project from another of our members: zines translated into 29 (and counting!) languages:

One of our members designed these boxes! The 3d printed zine holders work with many filament brand boxes, and they've uploaded all the printables as well.

Folks in our group have been bringing them to local businesses & then going back to refill!

"But I think one reason why Heated Rivalry has hooked so many of us is that Shane and Ilya’s romance insists that queer desire and love belong at the heart of the world, not on the margins. It gets you where you live."

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

in 2023 when I was organizing parents against our archbishop’s transphobic new school guidelines, one dad asked how loud I thought it was prudent for us to be, given how punitive the Archbishop is. I was like “loud enough that all the trans/nb kids at your parish see it” and he was like “…. oh”

Also not for nothing, but re A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms, as a person of the Irish diaspora who is simple enormous and has red hair and commits to incredibly stupid or naive choices sort of for the right reasons (at least that’s the hope), I appreciate this representation.

I thought this movie was SO fun. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms & Predator Badlands are 2 franchises going back to basics with more focused storytelling & a sense of humor & odd couple pairings (What if One is Big & One is Small & PB also has What If a Little Cute Critter). In this essay, I will
