Glasgow Zine Library needs your help!

Glasgow Zine Library needs of renovations in order to safely store and display their zine collection, and improve accessibility.

Good news: They are currently only £500 away from their £12,726 goal, and for every donation made, Creative Scotland will double that money.

Bad news: This is an all-or-nothing fundraiser, so if they don't meet that goal before June 13th, they get nothing.

From their fundraiser:

"Our ability to safely and accessibly store, preserve, and display our zine collection is in jeopardy. In addition, we are running out of space to continue accepting zine donations. That is why we urgently need to upgrade our collection storage and display to increase capacity, accessibility, and improve preservation.

Our archive, which holds the entirety of our collection, is running out of space to safely and accessibly store and preserve the zines. As a result, the condition and future of our zine collection is at risk of rapid decline due to insufficient storage and preservation capacity. We have reached capacity, turning away major donations, and (with permissions) donating duplicates.

Reaching capacity of our archive means that we have to turn away zine donations and halt zine acquisition of cultural objects. For instance, we turned away 249 issues of historically significant literary zine, 100 issues of an important writing zine, and a large collection of music zines and magazines. Another donor wants to bequeath a significant 1980-90s zine collection including historical trans zines.

Currently, we do not have the capacity to store and preserve them. Without this project we cannot properly preserve the collection or sustain zine donation intake."

I've been attending Glasgow Zine Fest for a few years now, and the work they do not only preserving such a variety of voices, but supporting new zine makers and local communities is amazing. They've run fundraisers for Palestine and refugees, coding meetups for trans folks, and anti-capitalist writing workshops.

I'm really hopeful they'll be able to make this deadline, but I've donated as much as I can. If any of yous have some to spare, please consider it. And consider visiting, as well!!

non-writers will never understand the mental illness of writing an entire conversation in your head while doing dishes and then forgetting every word the second you open a blank doc

to pretend that horrible people cannot make good art is another way to conflate beauty and talent with integrity and morality. the works of monsters are best examined with knowledge of the author in mind but art is not inherently reflective. human beings are creative, and habitual liars- it'd be stupid to pretend art must always be a portrait of its creator

#also try as you might ‘bad people can’t make good art’ accustoms you to a way of thinking that’s risky#‘i know x’s art is good therefore x cannot be bad’ is a line of reasoning it’s easy to back into without meaning to

Working on making a music playlist of what songs my oc Dorian Grayce would have listened to is making me feel old as I scroll through and listen to songs of the 2000s and early 2010s. It’s a mix of pop and more rock as he gets older throughout the course of the first series.

Some artists and bands I have noted down:

Cascada

Hillary Duff

Groove coverage

Pink

Three days grace

Would love any music recommendations from those who grew up in the 2000s to listen to so I can get some inspiration

Litterally every conversation Apollo would have with a redeemed Zeus in my stuff:

Every time Zeus opens his mouth to talk about his existence, siblings (jokes on Apollo those two things are inseparably entwined) or the titanomachy in general, more and more things about the Olympians become clearer and so much worse to Apollo.

How Apollo reacts the next time he drives the sun chariot after said conversation with papa

Hazel is not a cinnamon roll. Hazel canonically curses a lot and because @bugwolfsstuff is a horrible influence on me when it comes to everybody else's sanity so taking Bug's headcanon that Hades is the reason Poseidon knows how to swear like he does. Therefore: Hazel got the cussing gene from her dad and Nico's innocent upper class ears must now be assaulted with the burden of having a father and sister who swear in ways that makes sailors blush and grandmama's turn a cheek.

Pangaea was wasted on the dinosaurs. Imagine the railway network.

Kronos: Rhea! Your animals left a dead rat at my doorstep again!

Rhea: *sitting with her lions* How dare you accuse my babies of such an act! They only eat the finest of meats!

Kronos: WHAT ELSE WOULD DO THAT??

Cupbearer! Zeus:

Aphrodite Aphrogenia (The Foam Sprung )

Love as deep as the ocean depths. Her heart that rages like the roaring tides. The goddesses melodic voice that can calm the wildest waves

Moodboard for pjo Aphrodites epithet of Aphrogenia which my oc Dorian Grayce is born of. With a poetic snippet I came up with on the fly
