Check out our first ever cover story in our new issue! www.justfemmeanddandy.com/06-qing-blaze

Qing wears a white dress shirt and a bow tie is around his neck. A brown blazer is draped around his shoulders, and has a crown pin. He stands in front of a gold curtain with the following quote: Drag doesn’t have to be onstage. It doesn’t have to be lip-syncing. It doesn’t have to be anything… People can try [it] on and figure out what it means for themselves. -Qing Blaze

Honestly it’s a dream to feature Rose Butch 🥹😍 with an interview and drag videos, please check it out in our latest issue. www.justfemmeanddandy.com/06-rose-butch

Honestly it’s a dream to feature @rose.butch 🥹😍 with an interview and drag videos, please check it out in our latest issue.

Over a gold curtain is a quote next to a portrait of Rose. Rose is in white face paint with red glistening lips, blue eye and red hearts on their cheeks, a black beret, a red tie around their neck, and a black and white striped shirt with a boat neck. They wear their hair short and curly. The quote says: Getting to play within gender in the expansiveness of drag is helping me follow that pursuit of gender euphoria and it is such a pleasure and joy to be able to share that with other people. -Rose Butch.

Our statement in support of Palestine and a ceasefire.

We want to make it abundantly clear just femme & dandy stands with Palestine & Palestinian resistance. We are devastated & enraged to see apathetic responses & propaganda from world leaders & the media to the genocide of Palestinians, as well as lit mags, orgs, & our larger writing community. This is not a “complicated conflict.” This moment is an escalation of a 75 year ongoing occupation. Recent uprisings are a reaction to decades of colonization, displacement, oppression, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.
To condemn or equate Palestinian resistance to the violence of their oppressor is to paint this as a balanced conflict, which obscures the asymmetric war taking place & dehumanizes believers in armed resistance as a path to collective liberation. It is clear this is no longer about Hamas. Israel is collectively punishing the Palestinian people in an effort to further their settler colonial agenda.
It is lot antisemitism to oppose Zionism. In fact, it is antisemitic to conflate Zionism with Judaism. Israel is involved in oppression internationally, including an exchange program with Atlanta PD to train at Cop City. We firmly believe all oppressions are interconnected, so our resistance must be as well. We demand an immediate ceasefire & hope to see humanitarian aid reach Gaza. In the long run, we firmly support the decolonization of Palestine & an end to Israeli occupation.
We in the queer community are all too familiar with the notion that silence = death. To be neutral is to be complicit.

For our readers and contributors who are wondering what they can do:

Starbucks
McDonalds
Disney
SodaStream
