Official unboxing! The Pride Month edition [spoilers]
The official guide to what's inside! Yes it’s Pride month, and we thought “Pride theme? In June? Ground breaking” but how could we not? The theme of this box is Pride, but not just Pride, it’s also resilience, activism, self- care and de-centring the global West when we talk about Pride. How can that be a theme? Well, we have neatly bundled into one phrase for you: “The fight isn’t over.” So we’re saying, celebrate Pride, continue your activism in whatever way is sustainable for you, check on your queer siblings, and check in with yourself.

33 trans fantasy and sci-fi books to read instead of pining over your ruined childhood
After a successful and prolonged campaign of hatred and bigotry, this week JK Rowling announced her new transphobic murder book. The world’s most famous living author recently signed a letter about the pain and silencing of cancel-culture. The seemingly un-silenceable “feminist” billionaire seems to have survived the “mean tweets” of ordinary people, in order to publish Troubled Blood under her male penname this week. What can the ordinary bookish queer do in such times? Here are 33 books by trans authors to enjoy and forget all about She Who Must Not Be Named. We’ve split them into categories for you, and some of them are even available online for free!
