The infinite growth model is one of the worst things to happen to journalism/media. At some point you reach the ceiling of people who want to read your magazine! You can just make enough money to pay people well and publish things and not grow forever!

this is true, i’m alma

btw, the only reason picnic vol 2. isn't on sale yet is that Alma has to glue a copy of an illustration into all 300 magazines because our printer said it was "too pornographic." if you guys are into that sort of thing

you guys better buy these things bc there are so many in my apartment right now

👀👀👀

or better yet, help pay the writers and artists who make this magazine great:

It's Trans Day of Visibility! We are a trans-woman-run indie magazine publishing some of the best fiction, poetry, and criticism around. Also beautiful art and sexy ladies You can pay-what-you-want for our first edition here, and follow us for news on where to buy our upcoming Spring 2026 Issue

happy tdov, "visibility" without protection is a threat

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Picnic 2 physical copies on sale April, digital downloads summer 2026. If you sell books and magazines in NYC we would love to stock with you!

To be CLEAR we did this Riis photoshoot in August #NoWimHof

Picnic…2 !

btw I wrote a new story in this issue about a polycule where everyone's name is Morgan

PICNIC MAG IS BACK! Just in time for things to heat up, we have a steamy, sensual new collection of fiction, essays, and poetry from your favorite NYC transexual literary magazine and culture rag

what “renaissance” means here is it is now YOUR job to start a publication. i don’t make the rules electricliterature.com/the-renaissa...

It was such a pleasure to be in conversation with the editors of @lilacperil.bsky.social, the Trans Mag, @picnic-mag.bsky.social and @readeasel.bsky.social about the joy and hard work of publishing a trans magazine! Thanks @electricliterature.com for hosting us :)

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Hallo vriend! Picnic is een literair tijdschrift voor transseksuelen uit New York, USA. We hebben geen banden met Michiel Milder. We publiceren nog niet in het Nederlands, maar wie weet in de toekomst!

i’m bearish on literature but i’m bullish on trans women

Picnic Magazine will never use AI or hold water for fascists. We will always be gay, horny, and against the empire. We love our readers and hope they all outlive the death machine.

btw the explicit and official editorial positions of Picnic Magazine are Fuck ICE, Free Palestine, and All of Our Struggles Are Connected

bluesky is the joyce app

rip mira bellwether

editing a trans magazine is a spectrum

guys what if there was a second Picnic....

i have 3 desires on this earth: 1. the liberation and emancipation of all working people 2. thriving indie media landscape where people can make cool niche art 3. kiss wife kiss wife kiss wife

The rumors are true. You can get @picnic-mag.bsky.social in Chicago

by the way picnic 2 is going to be Boioioioing AwOOga

You asked for it, you begged, you might even have offered sexual favors, but now @cartamonir.com ’s napkin is getting another reprint

he has said he would do this in new york too if zohran wins btw

Sharing this with my network! EV/EBITDA looking very solid. Great candidate for a rollup strategy targeting other local transgender magazines

Picnic Magazine is seeking a private equity acquisition/leveraged buyout

i'm hearing that Picnic Magazine is now the only magazine

I hope and expect these ads will make 90s lrb look like a game of cribbage between some maiden aunts

The thing to note here is you can put *whatever you want* in these adverts and if you pay them they *will* print it

PICNIC IS SELLING CLASSIFIEDS! Want to promote your transmasc etsy shop? Did you have a missed connection at the gay book store? Did you write the next iconic tgirl sex zine? We want to advertise for you! Two sizes available, fill out the form to reserve yours 👇 forms.gle/CBWASzUyBq1i...

for some impression of our curation in the Summer issue, we’re getting way more flaggable xo

itch.io is our primary – read: only – digital distribution method. while Picnic hasn't been flagged as adult content or delisted from the platform (Yet), we are horrified and enraged at the ongoing assault on queer & adult creators across the web and itch's capitulation to these puritanical freaks

finally read this last night and am still thinking about what @emializh.bsky.social wrote, and about how i myself have written about sex. gonna need to read napkin and reread fucking trans women soon.

Happy book launch to Simplicity by Mattie Lubchansky for all who celebrate :)

@picnic-mag.bsky.social is a worker co-op in the sense that Joyce and i own equal shares and make the same amount of money off of it ($0)
