About the Magazine

Founded in 2019 | United States

This is a place to celebrate our differences, and coalesce on the things that we have in common. Freedom of speech is a right that we will fight to defend until the death of the written word. HOWEVER, please note that hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated here. No racism, no misogyny, no fascism, no sexism, NO HATE. ​Anyone who violates this trust has no home here.
