Days upon days rushed by, tatoh chiya, alu thukpa, chicken cowrie, and beer kept us warm during the rejections.

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

June 2024: Queering as a Way of Life

Queering is not about being queer but about doing queer – about going beyond binaries of gender and sexuality, questioning accepted perspectives, and challenging and upending normative ways of being in the world. It’s a frightening idea for some, because it puts into disarray all of societies’ carefully constructed artifices that have been ingeniously engineered for the power and pleasure of a privileged few. But it is precisely with that same promise of unruly disarray, that queering offers us the possibility of living life on our own terms, and of bending and twisting and even doing away with terms, so we can live in freedom, joy and true reciprocity.

UPCOMING ISSUES:

July 2024: Queering as a Way of Life

August 2024: Workplaces and Sexuality
