As artists - especially LGBTQ artists - it’s time to embrace yourself, be fully who you are, support your community, support your chosen family, and don’t fucking compromise an inch on who you were meant to be. Let your superpowers shine. 🌈

Every dollar spent on Assaracus funds the entirety of Sibling Rivalry Press, and I promise, big things are coming all across the LGBTQ poetry and art and book spectrum.

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them.
