Hey friends,
Hope you’re all hanging in there. It’s gross outside and I’m trying to go to the beach, so let’s get right to it.
All physical patreon rewards at the $5-10 tier have been mailed! (Unless you joined this week.) I still owe four $40+ rewards that are coming very soon, but otherwise, we’re all caught up.
(Side note but stamps cost almost twice as much as when I started doing this job?? I don’t know what the economy is but that can’t possibly be right?? Why is Louis DeJoy still in charge by the way????)
Speaking of me personally sending you items in the mail! The 2 Trans 2 Furious 2(nd) Printing has not been officially announced but I cannot seem to stop leaking the preorder link so!!!! If you want to be first in line, I’d click that link maybe idk! (Currently only mailing to the US, unfortch, but everyone else can always grab a PDF.)
Also. Hey. Did I forget to tell y’all that Mattie drew us a new shirt? Mattie drew us a new shirt and I’m obsessed with it. Proceeds benefit Operation Olive Branch! We restocked our Trans + Palestinian solidarity shirt as well.
Okay, here’s Links & Stuff:
I really recommend this Ijeoma Oluo piece on, uh, getting through it all. It’s long but you can skip down to the numbered list and skim from there.
Jewish Currents on the rise of October 7th tourism?!?
Margaret Killjoy wrote accessible 101 definitions for many different types of socialism, which I found useful as someone who refuses to read political theory :)
This David Roth piece on the Earth Room might be paywalled? But give it a shot!
Take this quiz to see how much you learned from this Gender Conceal episode lol. (I got 100% not 2 brag!)
I just thought this little 36-panel comic was cute!
That’s it for this week. Here’s your weekly Rhubarb.
