On holiday. New book.

Never been so excited about the idea of going home to eat some pasta and cuddle my dog

10 minutes left of tabling this market and I'm feeling insane. The playlist has had about 5 different bands on it istg

Bought a house we thought just needed a new paint job and a new fuse box, turns outs the place is dodgy diy held together with expanding foam and "the 2nd worst electrics" our electricians have seen in 30 years.

I've never understood why more people don't boycott Amazon. I just google the product name or search it on ebay, I don't think there's ever been something I couldn't find elsewhere in the 8 years since I last used it.

Took Sky to the lesbian bar closing party, and she got a hell of a lot of fuss from strangers and discovered BALLOONS! 🎈

I've got no deep takes I'm just deeply sad at what's going on politically right now

Thinking about the amount of time terfs have directly made my day worse (loads) even as a cis woman, versus the bad interactions I've had with trans people (zero). And how much the trans folks I know and love have enriched my life. Absolutely fuming at the wider harm terfs have created in this world

The edge of a pier and a sunset

The end of a pier

Started my weekend by walking down the world's longest pleasure pier and watching the sun set

Mabel being a tourist crowd-pleaser in York. Yes, I have wet wipes.

Oh gosh I love the apple ones!

2 cocktail glasses on paper doilies and communion wafers

A bar lit up in red, there's lots of dark wood and shelves with books

I loved this bar we went to tonight, the music was impeccable

the front a back of a zine [back: shows credit, logos, "zines are for everyone"] [front: in black a photo of a black window shutter, then "prompts for working class zine makers" in aqua hand lettering]

finished making + setting up for riso print another new zine I made as part of my artists residency tonight. Learnt a bunch of new things in indesign and got my head around printing an A6 zine on A3 paper too, chuffed!

thought about just buying a covid jab for this winter but it costs £98.95 wtf. It's £21.95 for a flu jab.

This is incredible

The best medical waiting room I've been in is when my mum was having chemo donkeys ago. Cancer care really is treated differently, the whole place had comfy cosy seats and soft warm colours (I wonder if they're also all hard and grey now)

Sat in a outsourced-to-private medical waiting room. The chairs are fancy but there's barely any. I've had to put headphones in because there's a huge tv absolutely blaring travel advertisements. I hate ittt

Yes,

A sketchbook page with circles of text that say: working class zinester, I traded zines today, de-gentrify the zine scene, zines are for everyone, steal photocopies

Down time at the zine fest = sketching out badge and zine ideas

Leave Substack.

The cover of my zine 'Iconic' about LiveJournal icons, a bunch of colorful 100x100 pixel images all set out in a grid "A zine about design, aesthetic and LiveJournal icons from the early 2000s"

Did you used to make LiveJournal icons? Do you still have some of the ones that you made? I'm looking to include more icons in the second print run of my LiveJournal Iconic zine and would love to see yours!

Photo of Leslie Feinberg at a podium with the text "I do not believe that our sexuality, gender expression and bodies can be liberated without making a ferocious mobilization against imperialist war and racism an integral part of our struggle. / Leslie Feinberg at the Al-Fatiha international retreat, 2002

Calling all gender outlaws! Leslie Feinberg—self-described “working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist” and the first theorist to advance the marxist concept of “transgender liberation”—was born today in 1949.

this weird loser absolutely loves trying to get in with whatever bigoted vocal minority is shouting the loudest that week huh

20 years since I stopped eating meat, woo

a hand holding a zine with the title "notes for working class zine makers (and why you should be one)" it's a mini zine printed black on neon yellow paper

finished a new zine yday, trying it printing black and white on coloured paper, and in full colour. #diyzines

such a fun film, I really fancy re-watching it now I've seen mention of it..
