AFM | Issue 001 Pursuits of Happiness
AFM (A Fucking Magazine / A Feeld Magazine) is a biannual print publication documenting and celebrating the many dimensions of desire, humanity, sexuality, and relationships that shape the lived experiences within and around the Feeld community.
The inaugural issue Pursuits of Happiness explores all facets of what it means to reach for joy, pleasure, satisfaction, grace, desire—or whatever other euphemism comes to mind when you think of what it means to be in pursuit, or to be happy , or both—as well as the experience of feeling these concepts most acutely in their absence.
