This holistic personal journal sheds light on the otherwise misunderstood details that take part in each of the four menstrual phases: menstruation, pre-ovulation, ovulation, and pre-menstruation.

The Menstrual Calendar Journal includes examples of dietary and herbal suggestions to support you in each menstrual phase. It additionally includes four totally customizable pages for each phase‚ a calendar to track your cycle, lined paper to write your new moon wishes or monthly intentions, graph paper to track your basal body temperature, blank paper for your creative musings, a cycle dial to give you a snapshot of where you'll be in your cycle throughout the month, and an 11" x 17" Lunar Calendar!

This journal is intended for those not on hormonal birth control (hormonal contraceptives prevent ovulation and interrupt hormonal changes in the body so this resource will not be applicable), those who want to gain awareness around their menstrual cycle and fertility, and those who want to track their body's fertility signs so they can avoid or achieve pregnancy.

Lesbian gulls, intersex grizzly bears, gay orgies of manatees, trans clownfish, binary-smashing lichens, sex-changing willow trees, and asexual naked mole rats! Queerness is everywhere in the natural world. This coloring book celebrates the diversity of animals, plants, fungi, lichen, and coral and the way our beautiful queer communities exist far beyond the realms of human culture. So many of us grew up with wildlife programs and school biology classes that showed only monogamous, heterosexual pairings with the goal of making little baby animals. Bring your brightest colors to learn about and befriend some of the most colorful characters in nature and challenge society's cis-het norms. 

This entertaining and educational resource, created by trans woman and ecologist Kes Otter Lieffe, and richly illustrated by Anja Van Geert, builds on the success of their popular Queer Animals Coloring Book zine to liberate our understanding of ourselves and the natural world we belong to.

Grazing is an enchanting way to eat. It means skipping from dish to dish, tasting different things without committing to a single one. It’s about creating multiple dishes that work together as a meal, that all share a theme, an aesthetic.

 When it comes to making small plates at home, start with cheese and charcuterie, but then combine this classic with a few easy dishes that make a meal special.

Try your hand at fun, fast recipes like chickpea fries with Meyer lemon-scented aioli; roasted beet tartare with cheese and pistachios; kale, spinach, and Pecorino pizza slivers; sardine bruchetta with fennel and preserved lemons; scallop and plum ceviche with tarragon; and lemon-lavender posset—to name just a few. Making delicious, beautiful dishes and snacks for grazing, whether for two or twelve, doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming.

FOREWORD by Tee Corinne:

In 1973 I set out to do drawings of women's genitals for use in sex education groups. I wanted the drawings to be lovely and informative, to give pleasure and affirmation. I organized the drawings into a coloring book because a major way we learn to understand the world, as children, is by coloring. As adults many of us still need to learn about our external sexual anatomy. Coloring is a way for the child in each of us to revision and reclaim this portion of our bodies from which we have been estranged.

The Cunt Coloring Book, published in 1975, was immediately and wildly popular, although many people complained about the "awful" title. Three printings later, in 1981, the title was changed to Labia flowers and the book virtually died. So much for euphemisms. Welcome once again to the Original Cunt Coloring Book (with a few additions). May you color it with pleasure.

Call me a romantic, but they look more like friendly Labia seashells than flowers to me.

A marvelous exploration of the special relationship children find with the natural world and the fascination and friendship they find in special rocks, from poet Mary Lyn Ray and artist Felicita Sala.

Somewhere, a rock is waiting for you. One just the right color for your windowsill, or just the right shape for drawing a face.

Maybe it is a rock from the heart of a mountain that will remind you of how big YOU are inside, too. Maybe it is a rock washed by the sea that knows all about the backs and forths and ups and downs of things.

Maybe it is a small rock, just the right size to close your hand around and know that the rock is with you and it is just right.
