Earlier this year I photographed the Bay Area Lesbian Archives in Oakland for Combos Press as part of a project for an upcoming book about the BALA and Brick Hut Café by Ashley Waltz
The Brick Hut was a lesbian owned community café in Berkeley, founded in 1975.
It was a safe space for activism, art, and all things queer. Will share more details on the book when it’s out!! ✨✨✨

introducing BURP 🫧🥒🫙🧫 a zine on fermentation + queerness!
Burp is a zine that explores the intersection of queerness and fermentation. Through essays and photography, Burp draws parallels between the slow, transformative processes of microbial life and queer identity - both thriving in resistance to control, both flourishing in community. This zine celebrates fermentation not only as a method of preservation, but as a metaphor for queer kinship: unruly, adaptive, and alive.
Burp is accompanied by a recipe card for Cherry Boshi by @of_the_air_
Contributors: @kassxmarina, Isa DeGuzman, @sabrina.beydoun, @of_the_air_
Editors: me and @soymilkmaid

In a couple weekends, I’ll be at the @cpw_kingston photobook + zine fair 🎉 SO excited to finally do my first fair in the Hudson Valley and meet local publishers where I live :’) if you’re near Kingston, NY pls stop by! 📚
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
