WHAT IS MUTUAL AID?

A5 folded lengthways zine, 5 pages
this zine i will trade for other zines (and possibly other things, such as badges or patches). currently avaliable in a local queer bookshop in the marketplace!

i made this zine because some people around me didn't understand what mutual aid was, and i wanted to make it brief and clear (though it ended up a bit messy). it's nice to have a zine that doesn't require any cutting or staples! the flow chart on the inside is inspired by samantha kruger's 'when to critique a trans woman'; i love the format of it and i love showing it to my friends!

LET'S TALK ABOUT hrt

A5 8 page zine
this zine i will trade for other zines (and possibly other things, such as badges or patches).

i suffered while making this zine... it took me weeks of staring at paper cut-outs and careful rearranging to make this, but this is one of the zines i'm currently most proud of! it was a big effort and it really paid off, but i'm not making another a5 collage zine for a very long time.

GETTING NONSPECIFIC INSTEAD OF NOWT

this is a little zine about why i use the word transneutral to describe myself! the simple method used to make this zine (cutting out some printed out text and using a pattern as a background) was kind of refreshing.

the hrt storage zine!! i'm very very happy with how it turned out and excited by the entries i got from friends and locals! i used gimp to cut out parts of the submissions and canva was a surprisingly nice way to collage them together.

i made this zine at another queer diary event! printed in black and white on purple paper (though my camera's white balance is not very cooperative).

WHY?

A5 folded lengthways zine, 8 pages
this zine i will trade for other zines (and possibly other things, such as badges or patches).

i often refer to this as the 'flowchart zine', though i intend to make similar zines like it! i made this in october 2025 after i got a challenge to make a 'tall zine' :). the background is made from printer test pages! the zine is about the process of medically transitioning.

Bottom Surgery In A Future World

A7 8 page zine

i made this zine out of junk mail in september 2025. i used a lot of text from adverts for mobility aid installations! once again, this zine is originally in colour but printed in black and white, this time on cream paper which makes it feel much warmer to me, i'm very happy with the choice.

PLAY AND KEEP HAPPY!

i began this zine at queer diary and finished it in may 2025 with some local magazines. i had a very good time at the event! the original is in colour but i only happen to have a black and white printer. i think it turned out quite well though.
