A laundry guide for grungy bike folks and incurable DIYers. 24 pages of research about the history and chemistry of laundry---paired with practical advice about laundry routines and products. Optimized for apartment dwellers who contend with piles of smelly bike clothes. "Most advice about how to do laundry is pretty dogmatic--if anyone taught us at all, most of us learned about laundry as a black-and-white, do-and-don't, right-and-wrong chore. This seems less useful than framing laundry in terms of history, basic chemistry, and textile science. Then, we can pick laundry routines that are practical for our individual personalities, space, and circumstances. We can also decide when it's a priority to use "gentle laundry" practices--habits that extend the life of our clothes."

About — 1. More queer voices merit publishing than get published. 2. Queer storytelling is intergenerational memory. 3. In telling history, place is as important as time. 4. Photocopiers are a powerful and practical tool for DIY publishing. 5. Own the means of production and share it. 6. No publication is too short. Scope Note: We publish non-fiction, erotica, and informal research-based writing. We are interested in local queer history, community libraries, community archives, queer archival collections, queer textiles, arts organizing, oral history, local walking tours, queer place/space, overlooked stories, DIY culture, queer correspondence, the obscene, and the absurd. Publications can take many formats, not limited to zines, pamphlets, and facsimiles using typewriters, photocopiers, and ephemeral inclusions. We are not a literary press or a comics publisher; poetry, fiction, and graphic narrative fall out of our scope.
