HEADLESS FRIENDS
Issue One
Welcome to the first-ever issue of Headless Friends, a digital magazine exploring the intersections of creativity, mental health and queer culture. Inspired by insightful conversations with good friends, this journal allows me to share some of the things I have been thinking and talking about lately.
This debut collection of four articles looks at a range of interlinked topics, including learning to live in harmony with your bad wolf, looking after your mental health while travelling, why Birmingham is a great place to live as a queer creative, and how straight-laced subjects can inspire incredibly camp films. Happy reading!
