"I got diagnosed with “trans*xualism,” received my T prescription, and stacked up on half a year’s supply of Androgel in Russia the day before my flight to Yerevan, and I started T two days after I arrived. I had a pack of estradiol pills to bring for one Russian trans girl who was struggling to find her meds in Armenia, and on the morning of my flight, when I was still unsure whether I should go, that pack of pills was what ultimately made my decision."

Hello, consumers of content!

This, right here, right now, is the moment we’ve been shamelessly celebrating for months: our 100th issue, HOLES, is on the internet! Don’t let these weighty absences pass you by:

- A trans Russian refugee in Armenia moves into a broken house and counts the missing pieces.
- A dominatrix’s associate dismembers a client, and the prosecutor on the case gets his hands dirty.
- A punk gets up close and personal with the open pit mines that blight the Nevada landscape.
- The escape of six Palestinians from Gilboa Prison becomes the jumping-off point for a meditation on portals, the occupation, and the Ultimate Reality.

…plus two poems by Ojo Taiye and an interview with this issue’s featured artist, Almagul Menlibayeva.
