My Semi-regular request for magazines

[browngirl]

So, I work in a hospital, which has a lot of waiting rooms, and I try to help keep those waiting rooms stocked with interesting and varied magazines beyond the latest issues of Huswyf's Heteronormative Fortnightly. So if you have any magazines which are lying around waiting to be donated or recycled, please toss them in an envelope and media-mail them to me (address on request) and I'll bring them in to work.

I'm especially looking for three kinds of magazines (though I'll take anything non-pornographic (well, you can send me porn, too, I just won't bring it to work): 1) literary magazines, especially science fiction, fantasy, and other speculative fiction; children's magazines ; magazines in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, or Korean (we have a large
proportion of Asian clients, and I rarely see anything in their languages in the wiaitng rooms_. Whatever you send me, thank you a LOT, and I will do my best to send something nifty in return!

'Huswyf's Heteronormative Fortnightly.'

ROFL :o)

Shame I'm not closer to hand- we generally have a reasonable class of mag lying about indoors!

How about The New Yorker?

Love your magazine name! Those were the magazines my mother subscribed to when I was a kid; they had real names like Ladies' Home Journal, which is not actually all that far from Huswyf's Heteronormative Fortnightly. :-)

We used to subscribe to several magazines, but we've dropped almost all of them; I think the only one we're still getting at this point is PC Gamer, which is a bit narrow for something as general as a hospital waiting room, and we tend to keep the back issues, anyway.

The only magazines we get are Consumer Reports and AAA's travel magazine for the Oregon/Idaho area. Would either of those be of interest to you?

A word of caution - magazines don't technically qualify for media mail, unless they are educational journals that contain no advertising. (The rules are ridiculous and picky. I am still miffed I can't send my coloring books media mail.)

That aside, if I had any laying around, I would be sure to mail them your way.

I've a bunch of back issues of Scientific American, National Geographic and maybe Smithsonian.

I was about to do this back in May, then my life got interrupted by eye surgery and activity restrictions. I still have the magazines (New Yorker, New York Review of Books, MIT Technology Review) and still want to get them to you.

I don't have any magazines, but I can signal boost if you'd like.

I was just thinking about this the other day, because the art-museum magazines are stacking up. I even still have your address, but I'll have to get an envelope before I can send them to you.

I was just thinking maybe I oughta go ahead and recycle ...

... the issue of Shambala Sun I totally got cuz it has a bit ol' pic of Pema C & k.d. l on its cover (and interviews with them inside). It's yours if you want it --- just get me your address again. :)
