We have been very quiet in 2025 but that will change soon. Plans are being laid out for PrideCAF 2026. But before that we have a few things cooking that are almost ready to announce.

Hold on just a bit longer....

Good luck to everyone who may or may not be manically prepping for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next weekend. Sadly, our personal funds have not been able to facilitate us to attend this year, we hope to come visit in 2026 if we can. We shall attend via people's social feeds.

This is really sad to hear, Quindrie have been an awesome platform for LGBTQ creators. It's so sad to see things like this happen in the industry. We need publishers like this in the world and it's so sad to lose one. May your 2026 be happy and fruitful @quindriepress.com.

We recently helped out on PrideCAF's 12-hour #livestream by running a session of THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS, and it was everything we wanted it to be and more!

Watch the chaos on the EoE YT channel, and say hi to Nate & Chris over at @pridecaf.bsky.social!

Giveaway! More zines! Will maybe split between two people depending on interest? But, yeah, like this post to potentially get some free zines in the post, yay!

These were mostly bought at fairs including @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social & @pridecaf.bsky.social

Stories of monsters have always resonated with queer experiences of self-discovery, repression, and ultimate liberation. Join our chat with @letzoespoilyou.bsky.social about monsters, horrors and the growing community of monster romance. Expect themes of slightly raunchy monster chat.

Next up at 12:45 we'll have @fiotrethewey.bsky.social and @georgiacooked.bsky.social challenging Nate to drawing Dr Who creatures. A series he knows NOTHING about. Will he get it right just from descriptions or will he mix up his Who's from his What's?
A two-column schedule for the Pride Comic Art Festival’s 12-hour live stream on Saturday, Feb 8. Times and topics include a “Disability and Creativity” panel, drawing challenges, “Thirsty Sword Lesbians,” and more, running from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The event is streamed on YouTube at @pridecaf.

Coming up first on our packed 12hr schedule we have a discussion with amazing creatives @haridraws.bsky.social and @milmo.bsky.social about being a creative with disability and chronic pain.
A rectangular event poster with a pastel gradient background (yellow to pink). At the top, bold text reads “PRIDE Comic Art Festival” and “12 HOUR LIVE STREAM.” Below that, large stylized boxes contain the words “DISABILITY AND CREATIVITY” and smaller text describing the panel topic: “Join in with our panel as we talk about disability, chronic pain, creativity and how themes can be approached in creative work.” A time and date are listed: “11:30 AM (GMT) Sat 8th Feb.” The poster also includes “Watch us on YouTube @PRIDECaf” and “With all funds going to akt.” A pixelated rainbow heart icon is on the right side. A promotional graphic with a similar pastel gradient background (yellow to pink). At the top, large text says “PRIDE Comic Art Festival” and “12 HOUR LIVE STREAM.” On the left is an illustrated portrait of Hari Conner (they/them) with short, wavy green hair, glasses, and a floral-patterned shirt. Their handle is “@haridraws.” On the right is an illustrated portrait of Sarah Millman (she/they) in a meditative pose, surrounded by symmetrical, cosmic-like designs. Her handle is “@milmocomics.” Text below reads “check out the schedule to see what else is on! A two-column schedule for the Pride Comic Art Festival’s 12-hour live stream on Saturday, Feb 8.

We've been working on something behind the scenes! Next Sat (8th of Feb) Nate and Chris will be doing a 12hr Live Stream to raise money for AKT. A homelessness charity dedicated to LGBTQ+ young people. We'll be joined by a bunch of friends and guests and we hope you will join us too! More to come.
A peach and lime gradient background with the Pride comic art festival logo. A mock computer window with the title 12hr live stream. Inside the window it reads "want to help raise money for AKT?" There are two peach toned buttons one saying "yeah" and one saying "heck yeah". A finger cursor is clicking on the heck yeah button. A peach and lime gradient background with the Pride comic art festival logo. There are three mock computer windows with text inside. Outside the windows is reads "12 hour live stream. On Youtube @pridecaf. Inside the first window it reads "Join Natte, Chris and a bunch of friends and guests." in the window in the lower left it reads "Sat 8th of Feb, 11am to 11pm GMT". In the right window is a list of events. Panels, drawing challenges and actual plays. The text at the bottom reads "with all funds going to AKT.

To get into the festive spirit, Chris of @pridecaf.bsky.social fame runs a game of Pick Me!, a Xmas horror #TTPRG about toys futilely trying to win the attention of The Child.

Hello to all of our new followers, we have had over the past week or so. I think more people are abandoning X. Welcome to all. We are on a bit of a hiatus until the end of 2024 but will aim to re-engage a bit in 2025 even though no festival is planned.

Feel free to say hi!
