At a time where journalists from marginalised communities remain sidelined in the mainstream (11% are queer, 53% are female, 12% are working class and just 10% non white), Polyester is proud to buck that trend. Our writers and creatives are:
57% openly queer 86% female 86% working class 86% people of colourTo continue offering this platform and to carry on our passion for community, collaboration and independent media, Polyester needs your help. We rely on the support of the members of The Polyester Dollhouse to stand as an alternative to corrupt legacy media.
All money raised through membership goes directly towards our work - funding writers fees, shoot production, and more. We use Dollhouse subscriptions to keep our operations running, and in exchange, we offer free zines for our community, exclusive podcast episodes, interviews with our fave artists, activists and creatives, deep dive essays into digital culture that isn’t being discussed elsewhere, IRL community moments and more!
Every time someone signs up, a Polyester team member gets her wings. We’ve also thrown in a 30 day trial membership for new sign ups, so you can test it all out for free before you commit.
