momentarily had the thought “shout out to my platonic harem” and then remembered that’s called friends

you can never escape a weird little freak that loves you

[greelin]

this was meant to be romantic but now i’m realizing it reads more like. a threat

You owe it to yourself to create a life that doesn't hold you back. Choose growth and freedom over comfort and familiarity.

i really do think labubus deserved better than becoming an embodiment of consumerism and capitalism. i made this silly little zine with some labubu cake toppers i bought in a charity shop because i actually love the original labubu art style so much, they are such little freaks.

every other week, my mom would make a giant pot of vegetable soup. she'd pack half of it in a tupperware and take it to her best friend's house. they both had three kids whose ages aligned. they'd lock us out of the house and go through each room, finding every piece of dirty laundry and then spend the afternoon keeping the washer and dryer running, folding and putting away each load while gossiping.

every alternate week, her best friend would come to our house with a tupperware full of chicken spaghetti. they'd stick us in front of a tv with a stack of disney vhs tapes and go through each room, finding every dirty dish, and then spend the afternoon at the kitchen sink, washing each dish by hand while gossiping.

it wasn't always soup and spaghetti and laundry and dishes. but it was almost always a meal and a chore. here is a night you don't have to cook dinner. here is a chore you can cross off your list. and here is a day you don't have to spend alone. because really food and friendship and a feeling of accomplishment are what we all need most.

I'm doing my part!!

I feel like it really adds something to know that this coffee shop was right next to the state capitol building. There is a non-zero chance one of these lattes ended up in the senate chamber.

Congratulations, you've unlocked the secret nerd bonus! I actually ended up texting a friend who specializes in the early Roman empire for advice on designing this special.

Honey and almond are pretty self-explanatory, as honey and nuts both figured heavily in Roman desserts. Cinnamon, meanwhile, means dead rich guy. It was insanely expensive to obtain, and the wealthiest of Romans used it to scent funeral pyres, so that the smell of burning cinnamon would cover the scent of cremation.

I knew It was over for me once I realized I could escape situations by thinking of fictional gay sex

i think everyone should make zines. about everything all the time. make a zine about a playlist, about a good sandwich you made, about a cool bug you saw, about a skill you can teach, about a cause you care about. put them everywhere. pin them to community boards and tape them to poles and leave them in cafes and in between library books. i hate how social media has been taken over more than ever now by big greedy corporations and people and has become a mess of churning shit out for the algorithm. zines have no algorithm it is just the love in your heart the passion in your soul whatever your pencil decides to put on paper!! and it's beautiful!! make zines now!

university has been working me to the bone so here’s some affirmations i did for my little guy big words zine project to help me get through it :]

[zinesbyscout]

i am a slut for "thing that was a silly joke in the beginning of the story is later recontextualized as actually kind of fucked up" . especially when its a longrunning series and you can tell its a product of the author re-assessing the writing of their younger self. chefs kiss.

i am going into 2026 with ‘protect my whimsy’

that’s it

if it sparks joy in me. that’s enough

if it’s silly enough to make someone else smile. that’s enough

if it’s absurd enough to make someone make eye contact with their friends and laugh? they’re still laughing. and that’s enough

i want to be the person you saw on the way home that you tell your partner about because it caught you off guard.

i want to bring joy. i want to be remembered

I wondered why green is so associated with hope and then I remembered being 8 and seeing a little plant sprout after a few days of waiting and. Yeah. I get it now.
