Our first zine is here! In this issue, you’ll find poetry about a dog lost in space; a queer couple dealing with a coma and stigma in Singapore; a savored journey in Indonesia; the echoes of an abusive relationship; the consequences of idelogies; and a reminder about one's efforts in activism—and more; prose about caregiving; media consumption and ideal love; losing a best friend; gender expression; and pursuing love in the face of uncertainty—and more; and plays about mother-son relations and masculinity, and the divisions in our society.

And surprise! There’s a bonus article from our community archives, and a wonderful introduction written by Ploi Pirapokin.
