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

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)
