A colorful postcard that says, “Celebrating Pride!” The title and author of a book review are featured: Send My Love to the Family: A Review of Glasby, Gradin, and Ryerson’s Storytelling in Queer Appalachia: Imagining and Writing the Unspeakable Other by Vee Lawson. There is also a quote featured that reads: “This collection of eleven essays looks through singular narratives of a homogenous Appalachia—white, cisgendered or heteronormative, solely masculine, repressive, or backwards—to see many experiences of Appalachian queer identity, engaging narratives of exile, return, and liminality as the writers demonstrate that Appalachia itself is ‘a little bit quare.'” The cover of the book is featured, a rainbow background with the title in black text over a white text bubble.

🏳️‍🌈🎉🏳️‍⚧️Another fantastic read in honor of #PrideMonth! Check out this #bookreview by Vee Lawson and add Queer Appalachia to your reading list!

A postcard celebrating a new substack post. The title and author of the post are listed alongside an image quote: “A Community Solution to the Dumpster-Fire State of the World by Evelynn Pugh. ‘With the Trump administration coming out the gate swinging, it's important we remember to take care of our communities. The bad news might make us want to hunker down, hoping to dodge the worst of this administration’s fallout, but we have the power today and every day to make changes in our communities and live towards a future of justice.’“ There is an image of a colorful brick wall mural, of two painted hands exchanging a book.
