Empathic Intimacies: A Touch That You Can Really Feellllll

Original essays by Be Oakley about the intimacy of physical books and the importance of small, radical press.

"The type used in this book is as important as the words written with it. design is and can be a powerful tool for the creation of radical content rather than just a corporate tool for exploitation. This book is typeset in our newest protest typeset Seize Control of the FDA - Act Up Protest, made using source imagery of protest signs from this important and historic event."

GenderFail is a publishing, programing and archiving platform run solely by Be Oakley. GenderFail is not non-for-profit but profit-for-survival or profit-to-continue-our-work-without-other-means-of-capital and most importantly to make money for contributors, to create profit-for-labor. With GenderFail, publishing is personal, it’s a means of livelihood and a tool for the dissemination of imperfect, but powerful ideas. GenderFail seeks to publish works that expand queer subjectivity by looking at queerness as an identity that challenges capitalist, racist, ableist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and anti-environmental ideologies.
