Support Your Local Queer Archive, t-shirt
Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive fundraiser. Design by Ellis Jackson Kroese of Trans Masc Studies, in partnership with EAF.
This fundraiser is part of a wider campaign to Save Lavender Menace, the only regularly accessible public space in Scotland dedicated to LGBTQI+ cultural heritage, who are facing closure as their public funding is about to run out. Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive grew out of Edinburgh’s lesbian and gay bookshops, created and run in the 1980s and 1990s. Thirty years later, Sigrid Nielsen and Bob Orr (cofounders of the original Lavender Menace Bookshop) established the archive to collect the ground-breaking titles published in that era, which were little known and disappearing fast. They moved into their current premises at Edinburgh Palette in February 2022 and have been serving the community since.
All proceeds will be donated directly to Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive, Edinburgh.

‘Trans Pride’ posters, designed by Erin Jackson Raynes
In collaboration with EAF, Erin Jackson Raynes has reissued their ‘Trans Pride’ poster design for a new 2025 fundraiser. This fundraiser has been initiated from the recent Supreme Court ruling that threatened trans lives and safety, in particular trans women, across the UK.
100% of proceeds from these sales will be donated to between two organisations doing vital work: Trans Harm Reduction (Scotland and Ireland): a volunteer-run, grassroots organisation helping trans people in Ireland and Scotland reduce the risk of harm when self-medicating, and 5 for 5: A monthly fundraiser split across five different transfem groups or individuals working within the UK.
Erin Jackson Raynes will be working collaboratively with EAF on the ’ practice encompasses zines, books, print making and box making. They explore folklore, archival imagery and traditional craft, often working with two or more publication methods in tandem to showcase the weird and the wonderful; boxes for zines, zines for prints, books for boxes.
