AI art is not "a tool for disabled people", it's harmful to disabled artists who depend on digital commissions to afford basic necessities.

stop using disabled people as a shield for your lack of ethics.

A zine held in someone's hand. The cover features a close-up of moss and reads "In Praise Of Moss - An Argument for Sustainable Disability Positivity"

I seriously want everyone to go read this zine.

I mean it. Everyone. Beautiful, impactful, IMPORTANT read.

It's by @kathrynthehuman.bsky.social and psst, I didn't buy out ALL the available copies, so go grab one 😄

I’ve been really loving snakes lately! they’re so neat

If Laura Palmer managed to have a best friend, keep two boyfriends, work at a gentleman's club and at Horne's Department Store, deliver Meals on Wheels, tutored students, do copious amounts of drugs, and keep two diaries, all while going to high school full-time, I'm pretty sure you can make it through today.

Hey, everyone! I moved my low-stakes middle grade book about a disabled autistic kid making friends to itch, and to celebrate it’s totally free to download for the next week!
#writingcommunity #middlegrade #autism #queerlit

The longest Zine I have ever made at 48 pages - it is a memoir about trauma, love, and life. Fully illustrated in watercolour with collage as well. 7k words. Dedicated to my Grandma Dawn, 1960-2025

Listen I know capitalism is forcing artists to feel like vending machines for pictures and having your sense of self worth tied to artistic output is a bitch. Just take my hand we’re going into the fucking woods

just a reminder for those who might’ve missed it: you can download Picnic #1 for totally, truly free! Proud of every piece here, superstars all, and I think you’ll dig it too.

a view from a bridge. everything is verdantly green and glowing in the sunlight. the bridge is overlooking a river that flows with crayfish and other wildlife

watching the world echo and unfold as the morning progresses is always so beautiful. I hold that tenderness within me, those bright July mornings

An image card of the artist entitled “Meet the Artist” Underneath it reads Freya Greenwood, they/them. surrounded by a trans flag, a rainbow flag, and a canadian flag, along with the autistic infinity symbol. there are pixel rose dividers. they are dividing a section reading “likes: zines, art, doctor who, colours” “dislikes: passionless art, cars, mean people” “currently listening to: stevie nicks, mitski, kate bush, the cure, my chemical romance” “movies: mickey 17, the secret garden, charade” underneath another rose dividers is a heart with an eye in the middle. it has wings. to the right is a portrait of the artist that looks vaguely like a muppet. they have brown hair, brown eyes, and are wearing a simple frock. they are smiling mischievously with a rosy red blush. on the other side is a jackalope, a rabbit with deer antlers. it is in a pale pink shade with the antlers being blue.

I made a Meet the Artist card!

I just think they’re neat!

a quilt like watercolour painting of a rabbit. it is styled almost folk art like. there is a tree in the bottom left square, there is a flower in the bottom right square. in the middle there is a diamond with two flowers on each side. in the centre there is a bunny with painted flowers on it and a spiral on its hind leg. there are squares running up each side, with alternating patterns of eyes, stars, plants, and checkerboard. the top left square has a moon. the top right square has a sun. the middle is the same as before with diamond and flower patterns.

Working my way through this zine. It explores a lot of trauma and grief i have experienced in my life and I feel like it is a very vulnerable but worthwhile story to be told.

all zines restocked!! 🩷

some people don't "lack common sense" its just not as common as you think! dont get mad at people for not being able to "read between the lines/read the room" or for not knowing things you automatically learned without being told! not everyone can do that so stop expecting it!

I SENSE CROSSROADS POSTING

The Snake sheds its skin and grows from the experience. Art magic finds me at the time I need it to the most.

Healing takes time and is never easy, nor is grief an easy emotion to cope with. Take your time.

You can pry my em-dashes and my Oxford commas from my cold, dead hands.
