[wormyorchids]

Round bird zine has landed!!!

[staceart]

It's my first zine for Minizine July! The prompt was "Celebration" so I had to make something for myself as I have a lot going on lately!!! Thanks blancisthecreative on Instagram for a really fun prompt list, I can't wait to make more!

Saiu a edição especial #0 pro mês da visibilidade a deficiência, falando sobre sistemas e TDNE. Pode ler sobre isso aqui

I've been doing a recurring minizine where me and my system write about gay themes, it's in portuguese and we talk a lot about brazilian gay culture but there's several editions where we talk about more general topics, like this special edition to disability month about osdd and being a system and lgbt

A few months ago I started making a zine on pride and showing flag, using character from Dead by Daylight. I am sharing the pages here now, the zine will be availble in limited, physical numbers later this spring!

(pride - a Kingfield minizine by pumpkinpatchguy)

(Ace: Yo, David? Like, not to be weird - genuinly just curious...We KNOW you are GAY...)

(Ace: What are you wearing that flag for? - David: Hmm...)

(David: Right...That's a good question. Just got outta the closet myself, but...)

(David: I guess I'm wearin' it mainly, so that folk who can't show pride like me...)

(David: ...know that they are safe with me...)

(Claudette: Awh... - Ace: I don't get it. - Claudette: You don't have to...)

Thank you for reading! <3

Devlog 07/08/2024 - Magical girl zine is done!

Today I managed to finish the first issue of the Maho Monthly zine! This is the first of many minizines I plan to make, hopefully one of these minizines a month.

I still have to revise it, fix whatever mistakes I find and then export this and then I'll upload it on itch for you all to download for free. I'm also making a couple physical copies for myself, and I'm trying to come up with a good way to sell them to others that would be interested to have one.

I thought of etsy but apparently it's not available in Brazil. I'm thinking maybe gumroad would work? I'll have to do some research first. Maybe I'll be able to put some of my printed versions up for sale if everything goes alright. I'm also planning to use my laminator to give the zine a holographic finish, after all holo is pretty magical.

[EDIT] I finished it and it's available here.

Happens all the time, I’m tempted to pick up a new-to-me zine based only on the cover photo, a scant description, or its thrumming electricity zapping my hand, only later to find an unexpected personal connection. Such is the case for Moonshot #2, SM’s paean to her ancestral home, specifically her ancestral house, in a working-class Pittsburgh neighborhood. “Growing Up in Carrick,” SM lets forth in a stream of vivid prose poetry worthy of Dylan Thomas, evoking the pageant of sounds, feelings, and images of her upbringing: heat lightning in the close Pittsburgh summer; the aging linoleum and unfinished drywall of a Craftsman-style house; the sentience of wallpaper faces and framed puzzles. Childhood recalled as if projected in Super 8. Coming-of-age moments, significant in retrospect. SM’s family moves to another neighborhood; in her early 20s, she moves back in, with roommates; the house sits vacant for years. The city, the neighborhood, and the author change inexorably through the years, yet something essential remains, drawing her back to the house that witnessed many of her former iterations; that anchors ur-feelings of longing and belonging, A close friend of mine grew up in Carrick, and so I spent time there during college, on the 51C bus winding down Brownsville Road; picnicking at my friend’s parents’ house on Hazeldell Street; painfully underage, getting kicked out of an old-man dive called Doug’s Den. I don’t have the same depth of familial ties to the neighborhood that SM does, but reading Moonshot #2 still reminds me that we’re constantly leaving a wake of echoes, shedding shadows of past lives everywhere we go, and these imprints are often bound up in the buildings we love and that love us. This minizine has a hand-stitched binding, two color photos, and comes with a link to a field-recorded mini soundtrack that fits the mood and location of the piece. Available in Pittsburgh from Tangent Distro or directly from the author at selenographer.info

Oh man, I nearly cried in the breakroom when I read this review, what a mood-booster! :D Hopefully I will have time to stop by Tangent Distro when I'm in Pittsburgh next month! :D

This week’s #zine #review is of “Death Makes Me Feel So Lonely” by @r28zines!

Winter is here, and it is a good time for some quiet reflection. This zine shares a cycle of rest and rebirth, told by a narrator who dies in the colder months. It’s illustrated with pretty art.

I felt peaceful as I read this. There’s a bit in the back about optimism that made me smile, too.

[pikuselu]

Hi Piku. I see you found asks. But do you know somewhere I can find great doodles that go to a wonderful cause. Preferably this week. Where oh where can I find something like that.

I'm so glad you asked, anon!!!! allow me to present....

THE PIKAUD DOODLE-THON!!!

STARTING TONIGHT, every night 1/9-1/13 (it says 1/14 but i was wrong ssshhhh) at 7pm EST, I'll be accepting paid art requests, and the more you donate, the more time I'll spend on your request! $1 per 1 minute of art, up to 60 mins per request (you can tip more than $60 but i will ONLY spend an hour on each request. Alternatively, feel free to make multiple requests if you want to get more art for more support!)

ALL funds gained from these streams will be going towards paying for a plane ticket to have my girlfriend @audvideo visit me next month, along with any other expenses during the trip. Anything extra will be going towards future visits as well.

WE ALSO HAVE FUN INCENTIVES!

Every $20 towards the goal, chat writes a tweet for me and aud (alternating each time)

$50 - we both drink pilk for the first time

$100 - piku defiles a wendy's frosty

$150 - pilk gets upgraded to PILK AND COOKIES

$1000 - piku plays yiik (FULL STREAMED PLAYTHROUGH)

This is going to be a very long week of streams for me and it would mean a lot to both of us for anyone to come by and hang out, even if you're unable to donate!

We start TONIGHT @ 7pm EST

It’s 8:45pm.

I’m in Chicago.

I’m drinking gatorade from my Felix D’Eon steel water bottle. 

Three day weekend for Juneteenth. I spent my day off deep-cleaning the bathroom, taking trash out, tidying the living room. I did some bike maintenance (filled the tires, straightened the front wheel). I mowed the front lawn. It wasn’t quite the full-day, whole-house spring cleaning day I wanted to have, but it’s what I had the energy to do. 

I finished my “best smoothie” minizine and did some stamp tests for my Kenneth Anger tribute mini. 

I’m about to start the second week as a lead teacher in the summer camp classroom and l keep looking over my schedule to make sure I don’t miss anything, don’t forget which supplies we need for shared art activities with other classrooms, etc. 

I also looked over my budget again for the remainder of the year, making sure I can meet my savings goal by the end of the year. Which also ended up being kind of frustrating because 1) my largest expense is my therapist. and 2) I cannot cancel anything in my budget to free up any room. 

On the bright side, my Buy Nothing year is working out pretty well so far. Every day in my calendar that I don’t use my debit card gets a smiley face stamp. I have more smiley faces than not so far for the month.

Things I feel positive about today: I found my Paul Williams aviators when I was cleaning. Finished a minizine. Working on my smut fics. Making playlists for my mp3 player. Throwing trash out. Slowly clearing all of the flat surfaces in my house.
