A new zine for members of my ko-fi: Get To Know Yo

A new zine for members of my ko-fi: Get To Know Your Friends, a printable zine designed for you to print many copies of, and share with your friends for them to fill in and return to you so you can get to know them better. Tangible things that otherwise might take a while to pick up - or might be hard to remember (eg allergies, emergency contact info, access needs, gift preferences, how you want to deal with conflict, favourite foods, hated foods, what skills you have to share or need etc). Things that will hopefully help you be a better friend to them & bring your connections closer together.

You can get this & loads of other downloadable zines & resources from just £3 a month. I'll also pop a printed copy in for any folks ordering a bunch of zines of the shop for the rest of the month.

It's not my party and I'll cry if I want to 🥲 I'm still struck down with flu so I won't be running any of the planned fun tomorrow. I'll work on re-arranging some kind of celebration soon. Hope everyone who makes it to Information Lives in DIY has an amazing time!

Hello friends. I've been laid up ill 🤒 so orders will be delayed till I'm well enough to be back to packing. The 10th birthday party will be postponed but I might still be doing a couple of things at Information Lives in DIY Culture this weekend depending on when I recover. In the mean time please tell me about your fave comfort tv recommendations for while I'm stuck on the sofa without much brainpower.

Oh and I got this new stamp, isn't it nice?

Zine and small press makers of Manchester and beyond! I'm going to be running a session of speed friending on November 15th just for you. Come meet folks in a low pressure environment (conversation prompts will be provided) - and bring some zines along to trade if you have them. Booking link in my bio..

ALSO. I've extended the deadline for the birthday zine till November 9th because I'm still working on my bit for it 😘

Notes for Working Class Zine Makers (and why you should be one too) ✍️

If you've caught me at a zine fair lately you might have seen one of my new zines. Well now they're up on the online store - with cheaper copies available for working class people.

It's also been listed as a printable download for all my ko-fi members (where you can also get it in full colour rather than black and white oooh). Members get access to a whole back-catalogue of resources and printable zines!
