“Some Assembly OPTIONAL.” Thank you so much @apogeelit @ellerustle @littlebutta 💕💗✨ Repost: Apogee Issue 16 is here ✨ Featuring Tommy Kha, Golden, K-Ming Chang, Ashia Ajani, Malcolm Peacock, mai c. doan, Allana Clarke, Sydney Jin Choi, SA Smythe, Joe Hughes III, Spencer Williams, Elinam Agbo, Diana Veiga, Johanna Dong, Sreshtha Sen, Dujie Tahat, Dmitri Derodel, Xavier John Richardson, and Day Heisinger-Nixon, the work in this issue embodies a chorus, welcoming and reminding you that beyond the daily devastation of news and politics and hurt is the stunning fact of our collective existence. In these works, gratitude becomes a practice, and there is always, always resistance. As assistant editors Minahil Akbar Khan and Zavi Kang Engles write in their letter from the editor, "The following writers and artists refuse to look away from our collective moment—their clear-eyed gazes become a channel of survival, resilience, and hope."
