Dustbowl Dreams: Art, Stories, & Community—Support the Zine!

Dustbowl Dreams is a quarterly zine dedicated to celebrating unapologetic queer voices and DIY storytelling. Through a mix of visual art, poetry, personal essays, and radical reflections, we explore themes of liberation, resistance, and joy in a world that often tries to silence or marginalize queer expression. It’s a space where creativity and community come together—where your story and art belong. Whether you’re someone looking for heart-centered writing, art that challenges the status quo, or simply a celebration of the queer experience, Dustbowl Dreams is here for you.

We are a small, grassroots, DIY operation, and we couldn't do it without the support of our community. That’s where Patreon comes in! By joining the Dustbowl Dreams Patreon, you get access to a range of exciting rewards while helping us keep the zine alive and thriving. With your support, I can continue to create meaningful content that speaks to our community’s values, struggles, and joys.

Here’s a look at what you can get as a supporter:

✨ $1/month: Get exclusive work-in-progress updates, an archive of past posts, and your name in the thank-you section of every zine issue. Your support is a vital part of the zine's continued existence, and this tier is a great way to get involved. ✨ $3/month: Flipbook access to all past issues of Dustbowl Dreams + bonus content like sneak peeks, playlists, behind-the-scenes looks at upcoming themes, and more. You’ll get a deeper glimpse into how the zine comes together each quarter. ✨ $7/month: Digital downloads of all past issues of the zine, plus a little extra love delivered to your mailbox every month with our monthly snail mail perk! Think of it as a personal thank-you, filled with surprises like postcards, mini art pieces, or even written notes. ✨ $12/month: Receive a physical copy of Dustbowl Dreams sent straight to your door (and we’ll ship early for our supporters!). Plus, as a special bonus, you’ll also receive a monthly mini-zine packed with additional artwork, reflections, or creative content—so there’s always something new in your mailbox! ✨ $18/month: In addition to everything above, enjoy surprise snail mail goodies, including bonus zines, mixed CDs, or whatever else I think you'll love. Plus, you’ll receive original artwork during the months when there’s no new zine release—because I can never stop creating!

Every dollar you contribute helps support indie publishing and ensures that Dustbowl Dreams can continue amplifying queer voices, telling stories that matter, and providing a platform for radical art. Your support means more than just keeping a zine going—it helps build a community that’s rooted in love, resistance, and creative joy.

If you’d like to check out Dustbowl Dreams and get involved, you can find us on Patreon, where your membership makes all this possible.

For those interested in grabbing a copy of the zine, digital versions are available at the Patreon Shop, and physical copies of Issue 1 can be purchased through Etsy or BigCartel. Issue 2 will be coming soon, so stay tuned! If you’d like to place a direct order or ask any questions, feel free to reach out to me on any of our social media platforms. 🖤
