Hypocrite Reader livestream on "Collective Bodies" + general sappiness

Friends, 

If you haven't seen it, our new issue, SYMPTOMS, is out. It is perhaps the best issue we've ever put together. Some of you have joined this list recently and some of you have been with Hypocrite Reader through thick and thin, but to all of you we say: read it. 

Next up: we are putting on a panel discussion this Saturday at 4 PM Eastern time on the subject of Doing Politics in/with Collective Bodies, with our writers Marybeth Ruether-Wu, Alexander Wells, and Sandow Sinai. Friend of the magazine Zoe Belinsky will be in the mix, with editor Erica Eisen moderating.  We think it will be fruitful, fun, and contentious in a comradely way. We want you to be there and be as rowdy as possible in the chat. A livestream link will go out very soon. 

This issue was a lot of (mostly joyous) work, and we are exhausted and wrung out and pleased, not without the standard admixture of dissatisfaction, by the fact that we have helped bring into the world genuinely useful, maybe even needful, writing. And we are grateful we got to do it. Thanks to everyone who has donated to let us pay writers for their labor. You can still donate if you'd like. We will put it––we are putting it––to good use. 

Yours very faithfully, 

Hypocrite Reader
