My Smutty Valentine: A Virtual Yearbook 2018-2020
Publisher The Anchoress SyndicateAuthor Editors: Gia Gonzales, John Istona, Becca Teich ; Designer: Grace Caiazza
For the past three years, The Anchoress Syndicate has hosted My Smutty Valentine, a night of queer poetry, performance, and art installations that foreground smut, the transgressive, and the grotesque, while honoring underground queer histories. Our events are experimental and playful while at the same time dedicated to materially supporting our communities via mutual aid. In March, we hosted our third annual MY SMUTTY VALENTINE, a night of queer smutty poetry & performance that doubled as a fundraiser for G.L.I.T.S. (Gays and Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society). Amidst the ongoing pandemic and uprising, and inspired by the revolutionary work of GLITS, we decided to gather our community to create a digital 'My Smutty Valentine Virtual Yearbook' with contributions by MSV artists and performers from the past three years. The yearbook was and continues to be sent out to all those who send in donations of $20 or more to support Black trans survival and liberation. The yearbook is also available to any Black person who would like it, or to anyone financially unable to donate $20 at this time. The My Smutty Valentine Yearbook was and continues to be grounded in a distribution practice that prioritizes mutual aid. With your download of this PDF, we strongly urge you to donate to organizations and initiatives that directly benefit Black queer and trans people, some of which can be found here: http://bit.ly/BLACKQT
