The Floriograph

is our quarterly newsletter for LGBTQ+ people on the inside, named after floriography, the “language of flowers.” Each issue brings together news and queer culture, practical resources, art and writing from our inside members (and sometimes outside community), wellness activities, games, publishing opportunities, and more. Most importantly, we want The Floriograph to be a space where our inside members can build community with one another: sharing stories, advice, organizing updates, creative work, and whatever else they want to see bloom across its pages.

More on The Florigraph

Resource Corner

Each issue includes practical information our readers can actually use. We have covered everything from books-to-prisoners programs to gender-affirming vocalization exercises to deep dives into changing your name and gender marker while incarcerated. Everything is presented in as accessible a manner as possible, both in terms of writing style and visuals!

From Inside Members

The Floriograph is increasingly a space for our members on the inside to shape as a community. We solicit letters, artwork, poetry, reflections, advice, scene reports, organizing updates, personal wins, and more. We’re always looking for new ways to help build inside community across walls! These contributions are always the highlight of a new issue.

…and more!

We want The Floriograph to offer some joy and breathing room, too. Issues include coloring pages, puzzles and games, mindfulness and movement practices, song features, and opportunities to publish writing or connect with other projects. We keep experimenting and always rely on reader feedback to decide what should flourish next!

News & Queer Culture

We connect readers with what’s happening beyond their walls through our regular Outside News review, while also making room for LGBTQ+ history, artists, musicians, activists, Pride celebrations, and other pieces of contemporary culture. The mix changes from issue to issue depending on what feels useful, timely, or simply worth sharing.
