This is exciting, turns out I’ve accepted to join the We’ve Always Been Here zine by @taplingzines.bsky.social ! I’ve never taken part in anything like this so I feel a little nervous to work alongside so many amazing artists!!! 🫣

The theme of the zine really resonates with me, I’ll do my best!

A graphic with a vibrant rainbow background, announcing "Artist applications now open!". The white text box below reads, "Artist applications are now open for 'We've Always Been Here', a queer history zine. Let's show everyone that queer people have always been a part of history. This is a paid opportunity, contingent on our Kickstarter successfully funding." Beside the text box is a digital illustration of a north African girl with short, curly hair, wearing overalls, sitting beside an easel with an oil painting she's made of another girl.
