A loom knit acrylic scarf in gradient deep reds, yellows, and greens.

Not zine related but I made this scarf a year ago. Found some more of the same yarn and made the matching hat last night.
Do I safe make mitten to have a full set?

I still lean into online spaces. Discord and Instagram, mainly. Online friendships are real friendships. Never underestimate the importance of connection, especially for isolated or disabled people.

I found connections online in the late 00s and early 2010s. Usually art sites or places like tumblr. It was the first time that I found people like me. That is, queer, neurodivergent (undiagnosed at the time), and quirky. Sure, there were some bad outliers, but i now consider them lessons.

I grew up, and still am, pretty rural. Being artsy and not at all into sports, I was too far away from events I could have made friends at. It was lonely. It was... isolating.

Love this

A zine with imagery of a man's and woman's silhouettes praying in front of an injection syringe, all of these colored like the trans pride flag. The syringe is positioned like a cross. The title of the zine is "NEW FAITH"

Text: When I was younger, I was so confused because my feelings made no sense to me I had no words to describe wanting to be a woman that didn’t clash with what I knew Being transsexual meant something very specific, and I’d been told by society that I didn’t qualify So when I began to fully understand that I was trans, I felt like I was too late I was afraid HRT would turn me into something hideous and unlovable Something not quite a woman, but no longer a man And that scared me

Text: I didn’t have trans friends my own age to talk to, they were all younger or had started their transitions in their teens I had no frame of reference for what to expect, and I was too scared to look it up But I did it anyway I took the plunge I made a choice that felt like walking a tightrope through the midnight fog I had lived my life too afraid to even get a tattoo Because changing my body permanently was too scary Yet still I took the pill I plunge the needle into my thigh Feel the estrogen course through me Warming me Making me more whole

Text: Some say you can’t be born transgender As if it is a sickness contracted by the weak willed But it is transformation, metamorphosis And isn’t metamorphosis itself a form of birth? Of course you can’t be born reborn It’s a journey Aren’t Christians all about rebirth? So wouldn't transition be an innately divine path?

Just in time for San Marcos Zine Fest this weekend, here's my newest zine: New Faith!

Bless her

The aesthetic is so FUCKING COOL

I wish I didn't have dyspraxia because I want to draw a logo of this lol

... oh. Oh this explains a lot. ):

A black and white zine sat on pink flowers and greenery. The title is "Algo-Rhythmic" and there's a doodle of a bust up character with a scribble in place of a bead. Surrounding by music notes, heart reactions, and comment notifications

I did front cover and page one of the zine. Inside cover reads "Algo-Rhythmic A zine about artist pressure in a digital content world." End text. Inside page also lists the artist's Ko-Fi, Instagram, and BlueSky, which are all Taylor Makes Zines Page two reads "I think I was born a creative. My brain has always been filled with little ideas." There is a doodle of a smolt face with closed eyes and a blush, it has little flowers growing instead of hair

Existing on hellsites is ... well. Hell. But we live in a society!

Algo-rhythmic explores feelings around struggling as a creative in a digital, influencer-fuelled world.

Here's a sneak peek of the zine! (:

A fidget slug next to a spring green zine that has a halftone image of said slug. The title is "Lessons from a STIM SLUG: a silly positivity zine"

A Stim slug next to the open spring green zine. The pages read "reminder! This zine is simply that, some funny little guy art. It is in no way a mental health diagnosis nor treatment for one. Artist is just attempting to spread some positivity (and cool fidget slug love." Next page reads "sometimes the world is hard. Good thing we have Stim slug!" The Stim slug image has a speech bubble. It is saying hi!

The Stim slug next to the zine back cover. It reads "thanks for reading! Slug and the zine maker hope you enjoyed this little ditty of a zine. Until next time, stay slimy!" Below is contact info for the zine maker, crediting Taylor Makes Zines on Instagram, BlueSky, and Ko-Fi
