updates and launch announcements!

my apologies for the extreme lack of posts these last weeks-- the submissions and layout process was just way too much fun to focus on anything else!
I wanted to take a serious moment to thank all the contributors, and everyone who has supported this magazine. it is literally so heart-warming the amount of encouragement I've received from artists in the journal, and artists outside the journal. you are all such lovely people, and this zine would not exist without you!

and, with that, I am pleased to present the dg lineup! (hi, dg lineup!)
