notes app apologies by christine
cms0008.itch.io
I resolved to make more quick/unserious zines in 2026, so here's one:
"notes app apologies," a collection of lines I jotted down in my phone notes last year that did not go anywhere (but still might be something). if you will, it's like a micro-chap but totally unedited! #DHmakes

Want to make a zine in 2026 as a goal? You could start w/a quick+handwritten minizines: only 6 tiny (4.25"x2.25") pages to fill + a cover + back cover (I usually fill w/credit/sharing info). See prompts from thatclowngoddess.bsky.social's Zine Idea Generator or check out @cms.bsky.social's zines!

my 32-year-old body decided a weighted blanket was too much heavy lifting and I threw out my back
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

wrote letter #300 today and starting to reflect on what it'll be like in 2026 to not be thinking about a different person in depth every day
I’m still doing this btw! and now that we’re somehow in the last third of the year, I’m thinking about how I’m going to write about this experience, the (digital) data I *did* keep and why, etc. 👀 #DHmakes

I've shared some real talk on what it's been like since leaving Substack and how you can help. This newsletter is not AI slop and it is written by a human (me!), and I pay other people to help me create the product you receive in your inbox on a regular basis. But I can't do it without you!

can’t believe people would use genAI to write emails when what really gives sending emails the juice is spending ten minutes agonizing over word choice, hitting send, and realizing you used “I’d be happy to…” twice in a row anyway
