Coming to your mailbox May 2026
Hey ferns,
Victor here from the sword fern collective! I’m very excited to announce something I’ve been cooking for the past few months… The Fern Club!
What is it? It’s a mail club! But it’s also a way to support our work, and get access to exclusive member-only sword fern perks! Every quarter, I’ll snail-mail you a curated envelope to wherever you live (in Canada) that will include at least: one exclusive zine, one exclusive sticker, a poem, and a seasonal surprise! These will be limited-batch exclusive items that can only be obtained through the Fern Club and will not appear again (unless you find us in person?)!!
How can I become a member? All you have to do is be an active member on the 1st of the mailout month. Sign up here!
The current mailout schedule is May, August, November, and February. That means to receive our very first mailout, you need to be subscribed by May 1st. Mailouts will be shipped mid-month.
How much is it? It’s $11 a month. As you may know, our collective is volunteer-run and hundreds of unpaid hours go into making our events possible. This membership not only covers the labour that goes into each mailout, but will support our collective’s ongoing work and events: paying for artist honoraria, snacks, venue fees, operational costs, and hopefully one day actually paying the core team for our work!
BUT WAIT! We have an offer for you! To recognize all of our early-ferns that have been supporting us from the start, the first 30 ferns that support us have access to a special Founding Fern discount that never expires (until you cancel your subscription). So it’s only $8.50/month to support a local, youth- and queer-led climate emotions organization, and receive a special present 4x a year!
So if you’ve been wanting to fall back in love with analog, read some interesting takes, or rep the fern, now’s your chance! Sign up today!
