I had a really wonderful time running a queer zine-making workshop yesterday!

Enjoyed all the folks I spoke with and all the fun and interesting zines people made.

@hecuba.bsky.social and I have created TRANS CUM! A zine filled with community sourced submissions about your cum, how has it changed on HRT? How do you describe it?

If you'd like to submit we'd love to hear from you!

A poster with black text that reads "Helen + Heather are still accepting submissions for the trans cum zine! Are you trans? Want to tell us about your cum?" There is a QR code and a link to the survey

The landscape of your human body is ever changing, what artist would not want to capture that?

Reminiscing over some photography today

Prints on handmade paper that I've been working on

I've been finding paper making really soothing right now, the soft texture of the pulp is really nice and the repetitive actions keep me grounded.

I'm definitely going to keep working on this series, going to different cemeteriea and exploring the different text and images I find on them.

Someone You Love is Transgender

Literally one of my most loved zines, and probably the most important to me personally.

This was MY coming out zine and took 3 months to fully craft.

Enjoying doing small prints recently.

This quote is from the amazing Nancy Gale when speaking about the burning of her YA novel Annie on my Mind.
A white, textured piece of paper on a light wood background. The paper has a blue print image on it that reads "only nazis burn books" with a drawing of a book on fire.

Working on a new zine about overdosing, recovery, and the stigma of using drugs (legal, prescription, hard drugs, etc) when seeking support from medical professionals.

What would you want to see included?
A light skinned hand holding a white, folded piece of paper. The top of the paper has handwritten text reading "Oops I Overdosed". Under the text are black lines covering typed text.

Being resilient, resisting, and refusing to be quiet.
A nine panel colourful quilt hanging on a white wall. Four panels of the quilt have text reading "there is joy in my body, it cannot be snuffed out, hate fuels me to love, and my joy remains". The upper left and lower right corner panels have winged figures
