Thank you for picking up this zine. And if you haven’t heard of us yet, welcome to TUAAC. Our community is growing so quickly, I can’t wait to see what 2024 holds. The theme of this month’s issue is comfort. Tuck this zine under your pillow on the next full moon, the wolf moon on january 25th, & you will be able to connect to the dreams of others who do the same.

boyhood

“Boyhood” represents the freedom and ease cisgender boys have in their childhoods, that AFAB (assigned female at birth) individuals do not get the privilege of growing up with.

These photographs are a reclaiming of that freedom through “boy activities”

Y B L O D V D Paterson (2016) The Iron Giant (1999) Little Women (2019 & 1994) Dead Poets Society (1989) Cinema Paradiso (1988) Jojo Rabbit (2019) Amélie (2001) The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) Good Morning (1959) The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) (2015) The Holdovers: Most appropriate definition of a modern classic because they truly do not make them like this anymore!!!! A treat for those who suffer from 70s nostalgia or come from unconventional households that can’t relate to copy and paste Christmas family comedies. This will light a candle flame to your core that stays warm long after you're done watching.
