This week at an event for THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT, a reader asked in a gracious and cheeky way what I would hope white readers in particular would get out of the book. Or more directly, what I would TELL white readers. And this was basically my answer:

African-Americans are experts on America.

Solomon @solomonmissouri.bsky.social · 10d

America should listen to Black people

Repeat after me: Your body is not your enemy.

Your body is what helps you get around.

Your body is what helps you enjoy the world around you.

Your body is what you use to draw a cool S

If you'd like to see beestung keep buzzing, please consider dropping a few bucks our way 🖤💛🖤💛

beestung @beestung.bsky.social · 11d

We're still trying to raise $246 this year to cover expenses, if you're feeling generous.

We'll never charge a submission fee, and we pay our writers.

Your help will also ensure that we can bring on a guest editor in the new year, to avoid that whole 'monolithic voice' business 💛🖤

Thank you. 🐝

Happy non-binary day and week!

We're a small mag publishing non-binary, genderqueer, and two-spirit writers.

If you'd like to help us out, we're currently working towards our goal for paying writers for this and next year.

Shares are very much appreciated, too!
