The fiction and poetry of Queer Little Nightmares reimagines monsters old and new through a queer lens, subverting the horror gaze to celebrate ideas and identities canonically feared in monster lit. Throughout history, monsters have appeared in popular culture as stand-ins for the non-conforming, the marginalized of society. Pushed into the shadows as objects of fear, revulsion, and hostility, these characters have long conjured fascination and self-identification in the LGBTQ+ community, and over time, monsters have become queer icons.

 In Queer Little Nightmares, creatures of myth and folklore seek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, and classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. The characters in these stories and poems—the Minotaur camouflaged in a crowd of cosplayers, a pubescent werewolf, a Hindu revenant waiting to reunite with her lover, a tender-hearted kaiju, a lagoon creature aching for the swimmers above him, a ghost of Pride past—relish their new sparkle in the spotlight. Pushing against tropes that have historically been used to demonize, the queer creators of this collection instead ask: What does it mean to be (and to love) a monster?

Contributors include Amber Dawn, David Demchuk, Hiromi Goto, jaye simpson, Eddy Boudel Tan, and Kai Cheng Thom.

Even though LGBTQ+ stories and people are more visible than ever, queer people of color remain largely unseen and excluded from the media and the public. This book offers a moving collection of stories and photographs of queer families and couples that is inclusive of all gender identities, ages, and races and presents images of queer people of color that show their loving, happy relationships. This collection of images and stories helps broaden how we see family, affection, and love and shows what it means to live at the intersection of POC and queer identities today.

By: Sa'ed Atshan (Author), 2020, Paperback

From Ramallah to New York, Tel Aviv to Porto Alegre, people around the world celebrate a formidable, transnational Palestinian LGBTQ social movement. Solidarity with Palestinians has become a salient domain of global queer politics. Yet LGBTQ Palestinians, even as they fight patriarchy and imperialism, are themselves subjected to an "empire of critique" from Israeli and Palestinian institutions, Western academics, journalists and filmmakers, and even fellow activists. Such global criticism has limited growth and led to an emphasis within the movement on anti-imperialism over the struggle against homophobia.

With this book, Sa'ed Atshan asks how transnational progressive social movements can balance struggles for liberation along more than one axis. He explores critical junctures in the history of Palestinian LGBTQ activism, revealing the queer Palestinian spirit of agency, defiance, and creativity, in the face of daunting pressures and forces working to constrict it. Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique explores the necessity of connecting the struggles for Palestinian freedom with the struggle against homophobia.

What happens when you leave the relationship mold of romance and sexuality--or when you try to negotiate boundaries, expectations, and intimacy platonically? This zine is your guide to learning more about the history of Queer Platonic Relationships, what it means to be in a QPR, and other commonly used terms (glossary included!). And because everyone loves activities, it also contains questionnaires for you and your Zucchini, ideas for dates and intimate activities, craft and spellwork suggestions, and much more! No two relationships--or identities--are exactly alike, but this friendly primer offers you tools to define, explore, and educate yourself however you please.

Gorgeous butterfly sticker with the queer pride flag pattern.

Namedropping is a variety of the classic Quotefalls, where you discover the quote's author while solving the quote itself. Patchwords is a Jumble variant where clip art is used to suggest the answer. Tops & Bottoms are like classic Frameworks puzzles but double the challenge and fun. Invisible Mazes task you to find your way through a maze when some of the walls are invisible. There are also some Japanese-style logic problems that now have a queer twist, like Numberlink, now Lesbian Speed Dating, and Trees aka Camping, now Queer Qamp. You'll find visual puzzles, Head-to-Head mazes, Mixed-Up Drag Story Time, and more.
