got to go to phoenix zine fest!! had such a good time :) met lots of people and sold basically all of my jewelry, a few paintings, and a lot of zines!!

[lamotriginezines]

i made a winter holiday-themed zine for my friend and her niece, and you guys can have it too if you'd like :) it's a regular minizine with a small margin around the edge, so hopefully you can just download the image and print straight away

here's the list of things that inspired the zine/that she likes:

animal: dogs & dragons

colors: any (hence the coloring book aspect)

theme: christmas/winter

place: forest

object: book

shape: triangles

emotion: energetic

i've made a few "activity" zines in the past, and i think this one has been the best one so far. i really enjoy making these, and feel free to use these if you're a teacher or you work with kids! we've found that they really enjoy these, plus the zines are super cute and little when they're all folded up

HEY YO DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ARTIST OF THIS?? THERE IS NO SIGNATURE ANYWHERE ON THIS ZINE AND LOOKING UP THE NAME BRINGS UP NOTHING :(

[lamotriginezines]

hi y'all!!

i started a little zine club on my ko-fi where once a month you pay $5 and you get a special zine just for zine club members mailed to you (along with some other fun goodies).

i'm hoping to get it started by the new year, so i can have a full year of zine club zines (and it would be a great way to start off 2023)

if you're interested, you can find my ko-fi here, which is also where you can buy my other zines or commission me for a zine or a painting!!

happy new year, everyone!

Ooh ooh since we're talking about a lot of trans women and transfems not fitting y'all's fantasy of the toppiest dommiest girls, if you think you'd be okay with a transfem partner in the future, please read up on techniques that bring us pleasure that don't involve a dick getting hard.

Muffing, perineum play, safe prostate play... I know I can feel like I'm silly and being too much for telling the people I have relationships with that I want to do something they have never heard of and might think it's weird or silly or a waste or a kink. I know it would mean a lot to not have to a. shatter expectations of using biostrap in a penetrative way and b. explain that way of interacting with my body from scratch. And I think I'm not alone.

Call For Submissions

Hello! So i’ve decided i want to create a collaborative zine based on an essay I’m writing titled “Femme Dyke” on the lesbian experience and would love to collect other submissions written by and for the community! The title is based off of a piece I have written, but I don’t want this to be a femme-specific project. Ideally butch, femme, masc, dyke, androgynous, fluid, unlabelled, and any and all lesbian voices in between would be represented! I’ll be accepting around 10 (subject to change based on interest) pieces including essays, short stories, poems, songs, interviews, visual art, photography, and memoirs.

Rules for Submission:

* Must be a lesbian to submit. I love all my queer family, but this will be a collection of writing based on the lesbian experience

* Can be as short or long as you want as long as it’s 12 pages or under (size 12 font, regular 1.15 spaced). If you only want to write a few words, just write a few words! If you want all 12 pages, take all 12 pages!

*You may submit multiple pieces of work but only one submission will be chosen

* You can access this submission form until January 21st at 11:59 pm est (if you need up to a week extension please message me to work that out but try to stick to this deadline)

* Along with your written/visual submission, please include your full name/an alias you’d like to use, any socials/a website if you have one you’d like to include (not required) and a short biography (one paragraph long) about yourself, where you’re from, and any additional information you’d like to add written in the 3rd person. You may add a picture to your biography if you feel comfortable doing so!

* All submissions will be edited by me, but this most likely won’t go farther than spelling and punctuation changes. If I have any notes whatsoever i’ll run them by you and you’ll see and approve of the final copy of your piece before print/posting

* This goes without saying, but transphobia, racism, and hostility towards other queer identities will not be tolerated or printed

Examples for what to write about include but absolutely are not limited to:

* how your sexual identity as a lesbian intersects with other minority identities you may have

* your "Ring of Keys" moment

* your place in the lesbian community and how you relate to it

* coming out story and how that shaped you as a person/the relationships you have

* an interview with a lesbian you know

* being trans and a lesbian

* guide to eating pussy for beginners

* your first time falling in love/getting your heart broken

* a funny life story or anecdote that relates to lesbianism

* your identity (butch, femme, etc.) and what that means to you

* sexual experience/advice/ stories or how you relate to sex as a lesbian

* the colonization of gender and sexuality

* write a love letter! to lesbianism, your partner, a lover, a hook up, to butches, to femmes, to trans lesbians, to POC lesbians, to your friends, to yourself, to your vibrator!

* poetry, an original song, or a visual art piece about any of these topics or a topic related to lesbianism (note that visual art will be printed in black and white)

If your work is chosen, I will be in contact with you by January 28th to discuss further! Not every submission is guaranteed a spot.

Thank you so much and I look forward to reading all submissions!

grayson, it/He

queer trans autistic lesbian

23 yr old freak in arizona

creative writing major (class of 2023)

painter + poet + editor + zine maker

why i zine

i make zines because i love small and cheap ways to share art, poetry, ideology, fun things, whatever you want. it's a recent revival of marginalized history - black history, queer history, poor history - on how we share information and culture with each other. as a queer and lower income artist (and a raging punk) i wanna bring back this piece of culture!!!

You're probably all well aware of ZCMAG and the Zine Crisis discord server. If not, consider this your invitation to join! This manifesto obviously owes much to Bread and Puppet Theater's Cheap Art Manifestoes, and Jugendstil design. It can be printed and and assembled into a simple zine which I hope you'll consider distributing as widely as possible. (Instructions here.)
