hell yeah @nonmachinable.com time
latest issue of COLOUR INTO FOCUS: QUEER & TRANS COLLAGE by Nonmachinable. the cover has what looks like an old faded print of a person wearing a flower crown looking out at the viewer, half their face obscure. there’s a plastic cover peeling at the top left corner and some beading at the top right.
