Magic documentation of ‘Who Goes There?’ A public procession through the streets of The Hague created and performed by @reclu_sieve@bliksem_meid and I for Rewire 2026 👁️ So grateful for the opportunity!!Thank you @rewirefestival and @zuzwieczorek for the amazing photos 🤍
FfûhxOctogone was so special!! On Sunday we invited artists from our community to bring poetry to Het Diep, the deep end of the Regentes Theater. Thank you to the artists and writers who made this afternoon unforgettable. We were honored to invoke the words and works of Audre Lorde, Ocean Vuong and Paul Preciado among others, to talk about inventing languages which are not yet known but felt… To talk about poetry written out loud and lived in the queer body. Thank you!!
Special thank you to @ffuh.lezuh for inviting us and to @theaterderegentes for hosting us
Thank you to @___sausy for helping us sink into poetry together, and the duo melancholic girlhood @cqtqrinq and @nursithehuman for an incredible performance.
See you so so soon in the Octogone 🫀💋
Can’t believe I get to be published in print for the third time this year 🫀 find my new story “Once the Dust Settles” alongside drawings from a sketchbook in @rivertheorymag launching June 26 in Sydney!! If you want a copy (shipping fee covered by yours truly) send me a msg<33
“Once the Dust Settles” is my spin on an origin story inspired by the cosmic microwave background, the imprint of the very first light that was able to travel through space.
Making anything during times of extreme violence has very little meaning. I am trying to find ways to bridge the gap between a fight for social justice and a creative practice. This is possible and I am so inspired by artists and writers who do it successfully. I believe that creating alternatives to the existing narratives of western individualism and human exceptionalism are important and necessary for imagining non-consumptive relationships to land and living beings. I hope I contribute to this in some way.

“Who would want to hear so many stories about panties?”
This dismissive question—one of many skeptical reactions to Reading My Panties—only reinforces why these discussions matter. Underwear is rarely treated as worthy of critical thought, yet it holds intimate ties to identity, power, and desire. With this zine, we push back against that silence, insisting on the significance of what is often deemed trivial.
Following the first issue, A Collective Manifesto, which confronted the unspoken politics of underwear, this second issue expands the conversation and centres queer’s panties. Queer Pillow Talk unfolds the intersections of femininity, feminism, and queerness by treating panties not merely as garments, but as sites of meaning—objects that carry weight, memory, and tension.
Through personal narratives and critical reflections, this issue examines how something as ordinary as panties can evoke complex emotions: dysphoria, intimacy, vulnerability, and defiance. It asks how these quiet, daily garments shape our sense of self, our bodies, and sexuality.
This issue included 9 stories from people who identify themselves as queer.
Price: 30 euros/copy
The first print only has 100 copies. If you’d like to buy a copy, DM @reading.my.panties
