Yegg

Bindle Summer 2026 cover, featuring art by ratgrrl. It's a digitally designed painting of a thin woman in profile, skin black, with white hair done up into a loose bun, wearing a white dress with black flowers and a grey stripe that starts thin at the belly and flares out as it approaches the bottom of the dress and a white headband. She is drawn in an art-deco style. The dress flows into a swooping train. Her head is turned to face the reader. Additionally, attached to her headband she has wispy, grey scarf, which she holds out with her left hand. In front of her left hand, there is a fuzzy black circle containing a purple heart with a thin red outline. Attached to the heart are two swoopy strings that go to two balloons, which are floating near the top of the image. The balloons are blue and magenta, and where they overlap is a shade of green. Both balloons have skulls in them. The blue balloon's skull is cyan and yellow, and the magenta balloon's is green and red. At the bottom right of the image is a black crest with the word "ratgrrl." in an orange, graffiti-like typeface. The cover also has the words "Bindle Zine," and in smaller text "FREE ZINE! Issue #10 — Yegg; Summer 2026; Featuring Long Island Writers & Artists"

Remember paper? Remember holding something made of paper in one hand and reading while drinking a hot beverage in the other? Remember how paper feels and smells? Inks that could smear and pages that could dog-ear? Read it once, and it looks like you’ve read it. You could leave it on a seat in a public place and be assured that someone would take a look at it, too, before eventually going in the trash. It’s okay. It’s ephemeral but lasts forever in your head. Break the spine, mark it up with highlighters, make rude pencil drawings in the margins. It’s okay. It’s paper, and it’ll still convey the stories we write in it.
