Thank you & Merci to lovely Majde who worked the counter for the past three weeks during her internship. She was here to improve her English and now knows what nickels, dimes & quarters are as well as what it means to eyeball a measurement. Success, Majde, in all your future endeavors!

We got several fantastic new zines from the good folk at Fugitive Materials is a tribute to “the pioneering Black trans performer and labor activist-and the first trans person represented by the American Civil Liberties Union-Sir Lady Java (1942-2024). Fugitive Materials works to preserve radical histories through the disruption of informational privilege through archiving, publishing and bookselling. Important work, you bet.

Penelope, our favorite publisher from Petit Mort dropped off a nice box of sex-positive pulp. We got issues 13 & 14 of Petit Mort plus a rerelease of the issue number one. Baby 2026 is a beautiful little compilation of work by poets, photographers and artists. Little Devil’s collects poetry that emerged from Madison Murray’s workshop and Sessions is a very hot screenplay. All of it is super inspirational and gorgeous and, of course, sexy!
