My latest zine! “BoyDyke: Bigender Manhood and Lesbian Attraction” is up on my gumroad!

This week's #zine #review is of "Puddletown Masc: A Trans(sitioning) Zine: Dysphoria. Part 1" by Tor Lowell @bitterteahymnal

Content warning: the zine discusses child sexual abuse, dysphoria, suicide, self-harm, dissociation, transphobia, misogyny, religious abuse

This was a heavy zine.

One of the things I love about zines is how they're documentation: a record of a person's experience and knowledge. Puddletown Masc is a testimony. It's a story about Tor's experience with dysphoria, about struggling to simply survive. And it's a story about finding one's way. It can be painful and confusing and terrifying -- but it's how we can learn to live.

I felt a lot while reading this.

Pages from a zine I made about disability. You can view the full zine on my itchio as well as download your own prinatble copy! Payment no longer optional as I’ve had some emergency expenses so the zine is currently £2.50, but this is a temporary thing.

ID: an illustration of the wounded man standing almost naked, impaled with multiple weapons. His body is coloured in red while the ground and weapons are black. His face looks tired.

The second image is black text with red ornate letters are the start of each paragraph that reads “You have to imagine that the wounded man is happy. That he has friends and family who love him, that his lovers taste his blood when they go down on him and don’t flinch from how the swords slide in and out of his body during sex. You have to convince yourself that after he has broken down and sobbed from the pain and fear that he picks himself and his wounds up off the floor and continues onwards. You have to make yourself believe that it is better to bleed than to be dead. You have to believe that this life is worth living too.” ED.

Written, as always, for my girlfriend

My girlfriend called me her dork muse.

My first zine is officially complete! It’s about being trans, fighting for yourself, and becoming something new. It’s my first zine and I made it using collage techniques, then scanned it and cleaned it up digitally.

You can get your own copy here. It would seriously help out this disabled queer artist.

wo/man, a zine about being a man & a woman at the same time, is now out!

You can purchase a copy for $5 or more on our Ko-Fi! Every sale goes towards supporting a disabled bigender lesbian escape unsafe housing and evade potential homelessness. I need to be out of my house by mid October, so every little bit of help goes a long way. Thank you for reading & interacting!
