The zines we make and print contain divserse content from Bay Area artists, most of whom are in the queer, POC, DIY, and punk communities. While most of the content is visual, the expression is varied and some works have text. A sample of our themes include gayness, fruits, trans-visiblity, skateboarding for femmes/queers, balance, relationships, and discovery.
