POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

⋆˚꩜｡⋆ our first official public appearance as CST is this weekend at the one and only @oddballmarket for @warmlovecooldreams ⋆˚꩜｡⋆

here both days, all day— if you’re attending the festival, come say hi (John is holding down the fort and eating @helloclowncakes) and ask what we’ve been up to. If you’re with friends that are new to sauna, bring em over and we’ll let em know what’s good

(and if you need a ticket to the festival, DM us for a discount code!)

Thanks to @sean_suchara for illustrating the lil sauna guy of our dreams, thoughtfully envisioned by @not__exactly

print is alive, weird, and very much worth flipping for. for our second guide, we scoured the perfectly imperfect archives for their magazine recommendations - from @catmarnell’s pull‑out slam posters to @delaney.rowe’s love‑hate relationship with the  paris  review, plus a new crop of print stunners. think @capsule.global’s spiral‑bound design anthologies and @pioneerworks broadcast, where art, science, music, and literature collide for each meticulously designed edition.

swipe to find your next obsession, then hit read.pi.fyi for the full guide to magazines—and chime in with your own recommendations.

Not sure what I’m more stoked about: bringing back @typeforce in its 13th installment, or this absolute stellar line up! Mark your calendars for opening night on January 31 at @coprosperitychicago [register link in bio]

I can honestly say selecting the artists this year was the hardest. SUCH powerful submissions that made us wish the gallery was triple its size. So thankful for all who submitted — your work was seen, felt, and deeply appreciated 🖤

P.S. will be back to share the making of TF13 with the dreamiest team: @barefootfunk @q_type @seeleyavenue @ladyberman 🔜
