Howdy snails (and the snail-curious!) 💌🐌 I can't believe August is almost half-way over. It feels like it just began.

Yesterday, I dropped this month's snail mail off at the post office. Here's what you can expect in your mailbox:

• This month's chronicle talks about both summertime magic and summertime SADness, as well as the dissonance of feeling joy amongst all the ongoing horrors.
• Sustainers and Stars will get a playlist (scan the QR code on the tv) entitled "Tom Radio" that is accompanied by a nifty visualizer I cut together. (It'll drop here, in the SMS Virtual Void, tomorrow if you wanna listen in early!)
• Stars will also get a sticker featuring Ruby or Snoopy collaged into wild situations, as well the DESTROYA mini zine I created in Roll for Zine ep2, and a mini zine that documents the lived experiences of folks currently being caged in Trump's concentration camp "Alligator Alcatraz". I want that zine to be read/spread widely, and will be posting a PDF of it to my blog in a day or two. Please print, copy, distribute it. I feel it is the responsibility of zinesters to document and shine a light on the horific things that those with power are doing, to make sure that they cannot be brushed underneath the rug and forgotten. It's one of the many ways we can push back.

Ruby must've realized I was using her likeness on this month' stickers, because she hung out on my desk while I got everything packed up. Consider her the Snail Mail Society's quality control inspector. 😉

See y'all here, in the Void!
