Hey y’all! We’re almost halfway done with February, which means that another batch of snail mail society goodies are making their way through the postal system and to mailboxes all over the country (and one’s even traveling all the way to Switzerland!) ⋆｡°✩ I think this month’s issue of the catmothcrow chronicle looks especially lovely, as the collages have a sort of grunge-y fairytale feel to them. The newsletter features my picks for the Oscars, a spotlight on one of my favorite artists — you’ll have to read the zine to know just who it is that I’m spotlighting, but I’ll give you a hint: I think of them as my […]

January feels, simultaneously, like the beginning of the year… and a moment of reflection and contemplation before the year’s true start come spring… and part of an endless continuum that stretches on and on.

But, that being said, somehow my calendar has already filled up for January. Time stops for no mouse! When I reset my altar at the start of the month, I drew a card from my favorite deck (the Slow Holler tarot) to represent my year: the 9 of Vessels, […]

Today I wanted to share with y’all the different tactics that helped me bust through writer’s block as I crafted my latest zine, catmothcrow three, and a few prompts that helped shape the final form this zine took. Part of writing zines is dealing with writer’s block, but hopefully these tips and ideas will help the block be more of a tiny hurdle you can skip on over, rather than some sort of massive labyrinth that leaves you feeling lost.
