Back from the void🧟‍♂️

Sapphics will fall in love because a girl made prolonged eye contact with them. (Same.)

Queer art is as much about starting conversations as it is about making dramatic statements.
-Sasha Velour.

Your ex is not thinking about you. But we are. Specifically, about that one devastating line you wrote.

Black & white graphic of a man's face with his eyes concealed by the outlines of two revolvers. One of the revolvers is filled in with the fur of a woodland animal. Text reads: Bambi is ANTIFA by Stephen Brown.

"By dawn, everyone is wearing those brightly colored vests and drinking from camping thermoses. ... Drippy orange spray paint carries tidings ordinarily exiled to basement man caves. Someone's car is scratched up. The vandal writes, Go Back To The Woods."

Now that submissions are closed, time for us to read, cry, gasp dramatically and whisper "this is so gay and so devastating” at least 50 times.

Submissions closed! If you missed it, don’t worry, there will be another chance to procrastinate again soon.

Three days until the deadline? That’s plenty of time to write, delete, cry, rewrite, stare into the void and then submit something completely unhinged. We welcome it.

Every queer has two wolves inside them. One wants to wear a suit, the other wants to wear a corset. Both are dramatic.

Being a queer writer is just self-inserting but pretending it’s not.

Fun fact: Our subs close in 2 weeks!

You’ve stared at that piece long enough. It’s time.

Okay, but have you submitted yet?

Our subs are open! Submit your spookiest, scariest, queerest work to the link in our bio!

Another pub currently taking submissions!!!

As a queer litmag we've been summoned!🌈

T-minus 20 days until our subs close!

Every queer artist has a piece they swear was ‘too gay’ for social media

Us when we realized you haven't submitted yet 😞

Take that leap of faith and submit your work to us via the link in bio!

Every creative has at least one piece of work that they’ll NEVER show anyone but also refuse to delete.
