About
This place is a manifestation of my creative brain, treated as a dumping ground for creative activities. Like me, it will always be a work in progress: messy, multi-themed, and only half finished.
The vintage ads in this newspaper take you to pages I've made.
November 2025 Issue
What a successful and wonderful Halloween 2025! I am still in the depths of what I consider to be "spooky season," as we move into a time period when darkness descends earlier. It's weird how this happens EVERY YEAR and yet it still takes everyone several weeks to adjust (and some people never do).
I don't hate this time of year or the light shift to earlier mornings. It's a time to let yourself naturally withdraw and gather in more intimate settings. People have been doing this for centuries; it hasn't always been the most horrible commercial time of the year. Remember, they capitalize on stuff humans naturally do; don't let them take away your love of creepy fall or winter tales just because Target has a commercial for that now.
Though it's an adjustment to have the day end at 5:30pm, it means there's more time to be cozy, take care of my home, and read ghost stories.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you don't let your body and mind rest, you won't have the capacity to fight back. We are not machines. Keep fighting the battles where your skills lie and remember that we come and go in shifts; when you take a moment to rest, someone will step in your place and shout with renewed energy. Stay hydrated, do what you can, and check in with your friends.
I hope November treats you well! I hope you find and recognize a little joy each day as it's an especially stressful time of year for many folks.

11/9/25: I've been uploading zines here and there to the zine library if you're into that kind of thing. Just started making a series of camping minizines, I'll probably add the rest in batches though.
