Other Virtues: Issue #1

Get issue #1 of this handmade risograph magazine "for moms, by moms" delivered to your door. Due to be published March 2026.

"Other Virtues" is a riso magazine that helps mothers unlock a fuller, freer life. It asks women to document and perform traditionally-sidelined aspects of motherhood, as to be seen and celebrated. $1 from the sale of every issue is donated to Everytown for gun safety).

"Other Virtues" exists to normalize and appreciate real scenes of motherhood, centered on the woman and not on the child, that complicate pervasive ideas of the virtuous mother — clean, calm, self-sacrificing — by presenting “other virtues” such as disorganization, maximalism, and non-traditional femininity. The series is produced in a riso booklet format featuring photographs, illustrations, and text. BearBear publishes the series semi-annually, featuring work by Diana H. Chu in collaboration with fellow mothers*.
