Kids Design Glass

I went to a glass museum recently and they had a program where they let kids design glass artwork and it brightened my day so much that I had to share some of my favorites:

Kids have such neat ideas and I love that a group of artists were willing to bring them to life.

Hey so you know how sapphics are called sapphics because of Sappho the person and how lesbians are called lesbians because she was from the island of Lesbos?

All I'm saying is, "from kyoshi" is definitely slang for "queer woman" in the atla-verse

Psych is such a weird show bc in a lot of ways it's constantly asking, "can you forgive your father? even tho he could never forgive you, can you forgive him?" and the thing he could never forgive you for was not meeting his exact very specific expectations. And the answer keeps being yes you can, because not doing so is worse. You tried and it hurt more. You tried and it made you more miserable. You forgive him because he's all you have most of the time, and its somehow less complicated than whatever you have going on with your mom. You can forgive him but you can't forget, and then one day he realizes that he was wrong and there was nothing he should have taken as a slight about you, but you both just never acknowledge this paradigm shift in your relationship bc it'd be more awkward then fighting again for the millionth time. So things get better but you never say why, you never acknowledge it unless forced and somehow you forgive him more than your mom who you were never even half as mad at.

But also it's about breaking and entering into sea world and making a janitor think you killed your best friend so you can escape, it's about gaslighting your coworkers into thinking you are the dumbest man alive, it's about only closing a mystery when it's as funnt as possible and making sure everyone else around you is as baffled as possible. It's about childhood and nostalgia and growing up in the most chaotic way you can. It's about people being killed with a t-rex skull, it's about slapstick and committing to the bit and being the silliest messiest bisexual on tv in 2006-2014.

It's about a son and his father and forgiveness and somehow also they are in a circus tent trying to find out why a corpse was launched from a cannon. And also there's an extended musical episode that makes it onto my personal Spotify year after year

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!!
