I love that this eBay seller keeps trying to sell copies of this issue of Pink Mince for over twice the price of just ordering a new one and supporting me! www.lulu.com/shop/daniel-...

Well, I’ve officially applied to start a PhD on all this gay magazine history I’ve been gathering, so I guess the faggoty nerdiness is going to get even more intense. πŸ¦„

A little dispirited by the number of Europeans at the Brussels Ass Book Fair telling me how easily I could support Pink Mince with arts funding if I lived here. NOT IN G.O.P. AMERICA, BABY.

Never in my life has it felt quite so urgent to make goofy, horny, idiosyncratic stuff for my own reasons and not for profit, or for clout, or because it’s supposed to be respectable or easily digestible or socially condoned.

I’ve been plugging away for years at my little zines and fonts and such, because I would honestly go nuts if I didn’t have creative outlets, but as the years go by I also feel strongly that telling queer stories and making queer art β€” even nerdy stuff like mine β€” is radical and important and real.

I’m not even a fan of the military, but it’s maddening to hear so many stories of prejudice and paranoia and lasting scars and not see all the ways people are trying to roll back the tides of time and waste so many resources on small-minded persecution at scale once again. Sigh.
