Friendship can teach us to love in ways that are weirder and more expansive, less constrained by heterosexism and capitalism. In this workshop, we'll produce a collectively written zine celebrating and reflecting on friendship and our friends.

Your workshop leader is Lee, who wrote the zine "PALS: The Radical Possibilities of Friendship".

You'll receive a printable PDF of our zine following the workshop so you can share it with your friends!

About the workshop leader:

Lee (https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/summershadey) is the author of zines including "PALS: The Radical Possibilities of Friendship", "Queer Sailor Moon Fanfiction Saved My Life", and the novella "Summer Shade", about a rural commune of trans people with magic powers.

They are a white transmasculine person living on unceded Algonquin territory in so-called Canada.
