To be honest, I posted a theme and prompt for Issue 14 a couple weeks before the election. But I completely freaked out when I woke up Nov. 6 and saw the election results. I was shocked and horrified. I was also triggered. I felt shame and betrayal at what this country has become. I had to take some time off and I had to re-focus.
Issue 14 will be a reaction, a declaration of resistance, a doubling down of queer and trans voices. Claude Cahun and her partner, Marcel Moore, were strident anti-fascists. They were so active in the resistance that they were captured, imprisoned, and sentenced to death. They only escaped that fate by the end of the war. So here’s the new theme for 14:
We Are Not Going Back!
There is no visual prompt for 14.
