- Description: Our SEEDs have grown into a JOURNAL – that's now available to buy.
- Author: Protein
- Tags: Journal, Seeds

Over the last year, we’ve planted over 100 SEEDs – sown by our [decentralised research community](https://www.protein.xyz/contribute/) at a steady drip of two posts a week. Signals, shifts, strange internet moods, half-formed futures. Now we’ve pulled those threads offline and into something you can actually hold: a 100-page printed annual that's stacked with entirely new, original features including:

- A calendar tracking the cultural tremors taking root month by month.
- An A-Z of the people, brands and trends set to define 2026\.
- A photo essay charting the rise of ugly aesthetics – because taste is over, and we’re into texture now.
- From Milan to Mexico City, SEED CLUB’s global network of writers, artists, strategists, designers and cultural operators map the moods, movements and micro-shifts shaping their hometowns.
- A Group Chat with POSTPOSTPOST, Günseli Yalcinkaya, Edmond Lau and Sean Monahan spiralling (productively) through yearning, friction, peptides and much more.

Limited to 200 numbered copies, JOURNAL 2026 is now available to buy in the [STORE](https://store.protein.xyz/products/protein-journal-2026?ref=protein.xyz) or if you’re a [MEMBER](https://www.protein.xyz/membership/), we’ll be sending you a complimentary copy.

We also wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who made it down to last night's launch – where the SEEDs left the feed and met the room:
