a description of the book at its end
editors
Jeremy & Sam — Twin Gradients. Edited and architected together,
between San Francisco and Cuernavaca, spring 2026.
premise
Love and Limerence is a multi-contributor zine on love, longing, and the
language pressing against the body. The work is the architecture:
each piece is its own room; each contributor is named at the door. There
is no order. You can enter anywhere; you can stay as long as you wait.
credits
The zine and the music are by Jeremy & Sam together (Twin Gradients).
The collages collected under tu jamón are Jeremy's solo work,
built around figures from Roland Barthes' A Lover's Discourse.
Other contributors are credited at their own pieces.

palette
Flesh-paper #ECE2D7 · aubergine ink #2A1D2A · dusty lavender #8A6E8A · rose dust #B89C8C ·
a faint blush #E4C9C4. Chosen to feel like the inside of a curtained room
in the late afternoon, when waiting is thickest.
print version
A print companion is being made in parallel, in Affinity Publisher,
on a 6-column grid at 5.5 × 8.5", two-color riso (lavender + forest
green) on natural uncoated stock, saddle-stitched. The print and digital
versions are not copies of each other. Some pieces appear only in print
(foldout, tipped-in card, riso overprint as object). Some pieces appear
only here (audio, video, slow-reveal).
technical
Built in Eleventy on top of twingradients.xyz. No framework, no JS bundle,
no tracker beyond Plausible. Threshold transitions use the CSS View
Transitions API; slow-reveal uses IntersectionObserver. The persistent
footer player is a single <audio> element kept alive across
navigations via sessionStorage. Total payload <3MB per page (excluding
contributor audio).
on the digital ↔ print relation
Print imposes sequence; digital affords entry from anywhere. To turn a page
is not the same gesture as to click a link, and we have not pretended
otherwise. The two formats sit beside each other like two lovers on a
couch reading different books in the same room.
with gratitude to
Roland Barthes. Richard Howard. Laurel Schwulst, for thinking about
websites as rooms. Mindy Seu, for the Cyberfeminism Index. Eric Hu and
Linked by Air, for editorial pace. Sam, for the birds at the top of
Stanyan Street. And every contributor, named in their figure.
