Hi, everyone!!! I know it's been a while (like many years...) and Steven/Ryan kinda dropped the bomb by being a very lame capitalist (boo). This is why it's awesome that you can now support very cool & awesome AAPI creatives who are NOT trying to swindle you (YAY!)

I've been volunteering at Slant'd, an indie nonprofit publisher focused on uplifting and sharing AAPI writers, artists, and creatives! Issue 06: Homecoming is a collection of heartwarming and provocatively told stories that unpack the different layers of home and the complex feelings and experiences that come with it. You can pre-order here (+ other cool rewards you can check out!) Kickstarter operates on an all-or-nothing basis, so please consider backing us today. BONUS: Since we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, some of our rewards are tax-deductible! We also have corporate deals/bundles, so let me know if you're interested in your 9-5 supporting Slant'd!  Instead of supporting very sad ex-buzzfeed employees who are now apologizing on the couch, you can now support upcoming AAPI artists! BTW here's our IG if you want to check it out.
