This Lips Tumblr will serve as a tool to share news and information about the production of the zine, as well as images, articles, and literature to help spark creativity!
Lips Richmond is an independent magazine, or zine, distributed bi-annually in Richmond, VA. Lips is a fun and sexy alternative to popular magazines that objectify bodies and fail to speak honestly about sex. The pages are filled with artwork, doodles, poems, stories and essays about gender identity and sex submitted by women and sexual minorities living in the South.
When we encourage sexual expression, we begin to paint a more complete picture of sex and love. We hope readers will learn from others, and use this information to work towards achieving acceptance of self and others as well as healthy relationships based on mutual understanding and pleasure.

[picture is a chart. top half is “ableist idea of autism spectrum” dot to the left says “normal - good at everything, not disabled, has empathy, not diseased, the way things should be” on the right is “autism spectrum, line from “aspergers/mildly autistic” to “extremely autistic” with words above it that say “antisocial, annoying, has “special talent,” strange, lacks empathy, disabled, need help, diseased, needs to be cured.” bottom half says “actual autism spectrum.” on left is “very allistic” and “not very affected by sensory input, heavily affected by others’ emotions” in middle it says “mildly allistic, mildly autistic” far right says “very autistic: very sensitive to sensory input, emotions are heavily independent”]
EDIT: I don’t know if the image description is sufficient because I don’t really know how to describe spatial things in words, or vice versa. That’s why I made it a picture rather than a text post in the first place, because I thought of it spatially rather than verbally.
