Simplicity by Mattie Lubchansky
"This book is horny, mesmerizing, psychedelic, and so so timely. The art is beautiful, the world feels rich, and I would have happily read another 100 pages.

To all who feel dread about encroaching fascism or the urge to move out to the woods to escape" Read more of this review »

Simplicity by Mattie Lubchansky
"When I sit at my desk working or still have to do laundry as world crisis after crisis happens, it feels absurd. Lubchansky is one of the leading voices who perfectly encapsulates how very absurd and disconnected this moment in time feels. Simplicity" Read more of this review »

“For you, a witch is any woman who understands she has power even when the world insists she doesn't”
Jaya Saxena, Basic Witches: How to Summon Success, Banish Drama, and Raise Hell with Your Coven

“Beauty isn't just something you have; it's something you do.”
Jaya Saxena, Basic Witches: How to Summon Success, Banish Drama, and Raise Hell with Your Coven

“For our purposes, witchcraft means the kind of mundane pursuits that might once have resulted in accusation: enjoying sex, controlling reproductive health, hanging out with other women, not caring what men think, disagreeing, and just knowing stuff.”
Jaya Saxena, Basic Witches: How to Summon Success, Banish Drama, and Raise Hell with Your Coven
