Zine Fest was a blast. If anyone needs me, I'll be in bed with a heating pad for roughly the next 48 hours. Shout out to everyone who listened to my spiel for @queeringthedots.bsky.social !

this family has been displaced for over a month from their home due to unsafe conditions. please help them finish meeting their goal so they can move in. it’s getting colder out every day and it would be great to see them housed for the holidays.

Orlando and Central Florida! This Tomorrow! Come turn JK R*wling's wizard books into trans/queer affirming art! And any donations you make help our trans comrades!

Are you in Orlando? Would you like to turn your old H*rry P*tter books into subversive art that tells the queen of the terfs exactly what you think of her? WELL HERE'S YOUR CHANCE! I will be at this event making black-out poetry and there will be a bunch of other art supplies to play with!
