Today's 7 o'clock shill is ACT NOW! ON THIS BARGAIN OFFER, a zine featuring stories by @charleneelsby.bsky.social and @lormaggot.ca, two of my favorite Canadians. Collages by me! Only 100 copies were printed, and I think I have about 35 left.

THE DEVIL THINKS I’M PRETTY is now in Spanish with @dilatandomentesed.bsky.social ♥️

Una obra de corte experimental, filosófica, excesiva, abyecta, amante de la perversión, agónica, cruel, a ratos despiadada, a ratos enfermiza, que coqueta conceptos como la sumisión y la dominación… 😈♥️

I just finished @charleneelsby.bsky.social ‘s book. It’s a great read for anyone who dressed up for a zoom or teams meeting when they didn’t have to.

Plus it has a cat!
