1-15 April

Easter is around the corner and what better way to celebrate this monotheistically usurped celebration of fertility than by celebrating that most fruitful of human faculties: Lesbianism. What we mean by this - aside from the fact that any aspirational interpretation of Jesus would most obviously read her as lesbian - is a warm welcome to all the sapphics who flocked to our newsletter in recent days, in what was the biggest simple influx of subscribers we have yet seen within our one year of existence! We are glad to share with you that within our own team’s ranks, the number of converts to that lavender sect of the LGBTIQ+ ideology is also swelling - gently, shyly, but I dare say quite safely. May the leaves spring forth, may Spring bring you all hope and joy and strength! And maybe you will find some of these gems of the human condition also hidden away in the links below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
