Your hold is ready! (11.01. 22)

Happy Belated Halloween, everyone! I hope you’re all having a good start to your November, and enjoyed your last and best day of spooky month. Things have been pretty chaotic here (as always), but also productive as hell: in addition to the new publications I’ve listed below, I also presented at a virtual conference (Thinking Trans / Trans Thinking, with the Trans Philosophy Project) last weekend. What a great time.

This month, I have two back-to-back conferences in Minneapolis, MN –– my first time spending an extended period of time in the Twin Cities! Also, over at swallow::tale press, we’re launching a.c.d.’s audio book-zine combo, TK VISION. Find it on our bandcamp! Lastly, for nine more days, we’re also taking reprints (from bigoted/defunct magazines) at Stone of Madness. If you’re queer/trans/disabled/Mad and need a new home for your work, consider submitting through Nov. 9!
