$25.00

The stuff that never makes headlines but shapes who we are 🍵

Inside this issue you’ll find artists and writers who capture the weight and weird comfort of the everyday. They show us that identity doesn’t just live in festivals or trauma dumps, but in grocery lists, bus rides, and half-remembered customs.

🖨️ 62 page magazine (210×270 mm) printed on recycled uncoated 120gsm stock with 300gsm matte covers.

📍 Proudly produced, designed and printed in Naarm, Melbourne, Australia.
