What you're signing up for

Three things, every other Friday.

A small list. Sharply made.

Five things. Sometimes three. Never twelve. The discipline is in what we leave out.

Real reviews. No payola.

We've been everywhere we cover. We say what's good and what's not. No sponsored placements.

By and for queer Vancouver.

Made here, not pasted from elsewhere. Davie, East Van, the Drive, the rooms Main Street pretends aren't queer.

Quick answers

The questions you're actually asking.

How often does it land?

Every other Friday at 8am sharp. Twenty-six issues a year, give or take. No filler issues, no special bulletins clogging your inbox.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free now, free always. If we ever launch a paid tier, it'll be additive (bonus content, early access) and we'll never put the core weekly behind a paywall.

How do I unsubscribe?

One click in any issue. The unsubscribe link is at the bottom of every email. We won't take it personally, we won't email you again, we won't make you fill out a survey.

What about my data?

Your email sits in Mailchimp. We send issues, that's it. We don't share it. We don't sell it. We don't even use it for retargeting ads. The list is the relationship; we're not going to mess with it.

What if I miss an issue?

Every past issue lives on the site. Forward, share, or read at your own pace. Nothing disappears.

Can I forward issues to friends?

Please do. That's how this grows. There's a "forward this" link in every issue, but you can also just hit forward in your email client like a normal person.

Coming Friday?

Five things every other Friday. Free. Unsubscribe anytime. We'll never share your address.
