Now in Stock: Our Sacred Cycle

Sometimes our menstrual symptoms prevent us from showing up the way we want to, and there is not a lot of information about how to feel better. You may have had trouble finding resources that explain what's happening in your body and mind, or been disbelieved or blamed.

Whether you want to heal from patriarchal trauma or connect with yourself in a new way, this is the empowering, feminist resource you need to reclaim your cycle.

Don't let your period ruin your life.
(Kickstarter backers, never fear! This came in slightly ahead of schedule, and as of this writing we're working on the final touches for PledgeManager. Your backer surveys will be out very soon!)
Thursday is "Use Less Stuff" Day

It's all about reducing consumerist tendencies to get the latest and the greatest and throw it out when you're done with it.

$25 Pack: Depression First Aid Kit

Hello darkness my old friend...

Honestly a less fun deal than I usually throw here, but if you're also struggling with my therapist called the universal "energy soup" that's happening right now, the books and zines in this bundle might help.

Best of luck, friends.
See you next week!

Keep an eye out later this week for a special ~bonus newsletter ~ with our annual gift guide. Because we all need a little extra help figuring out holiday stuff this year.
