This winter I took myself on a zine residency in Florida. I used that time away from my children to finish a major project: scripting and assembling Ritual Podcast. I also created these four new zines during my four day long "residency". This one I have been working
This is probably my most controversial zine ever. I've been an observer of this cultural phenomenon for six years now, collecting screenshots on Reddit and Facebook. Vermonters have a very particular way of speaking about Mexican food. These comments fall into four categories. First is claiming expertise because
I've started using my collages in zines. Collaging is new medium for me. It's easier to do than painting because I can do it alongside my daughter. It's not messy or toxic. It's also easy to clean up.
I started this site on Tumblr around 2016. Then I migrated to Wordpress in 2022. I dabbled with self-hosting and learned a lot. I had a lot of issues with Wordpress. Now I'm on Ghost. The migration has been the smoothest yet. I'll also be
I wanted to create a tabloid-size zine. That’s 11×17 folded in half until it’s an 8.5×11 zine. I purchased three, pictured below at ExpoZine in Montreal. I really like Dumbass, it’s printed on risograph. It’s a comic book. I think comics in
Over the years, we got better at gardening. Casey started trying new things when we had a tiny yard in California. But it was very dry, prone to ant infestations, and our cat treated the small raised bed as a battleground. He would fight with neighborhood cats and they would
I had such a great trip to Long Island this summer. Elise has been two times since she was born. The first trip was when she was five weeks old. That was a rough ride, since we hadn’t completely mastered breastfeeding on the go, and I still had an
It was my family’s first time in Maine. Actually, Elise has been once when she was 6 months old and I have been twice, but it was all of us together’s first time. We stayed at Huttopia, a glamping camp group for three nights. It was so relaxing.
I find Brossard much more family friendly than Montreal. It’s easier to park and there are just as many food choices. This is my favorite restaurant in Brossard. The shopping center it is in is scary but it is homey and cute inside this cafe. We’ve eaten here
My husband and I decided to collaborate and create a pocket-sized card containing information about the dirty dozen and clean 15. This was important to us because we are constantly reminding each other and asking one another about produce while shopping. So if it was useful for us we
When I travel I like to visit indie bookstores looking for zines. Here are some that I’ve recently found: Wooden Tooth Records in Tucson, Arizona Tiny Town Surplus in Tucson, Arizona Wasted Ink Zine Distro and Library in Phoenix, Arizona Kei Collective in Phoenix, Arizona Reverie Books in Austin,
I have not been back to Austin for a long time. We came briefly in 2021, when we were moving from California to Vermont. But at that time, we stayed mostly in Georgetown and Hutto. I think before that, the last time was 2018 when I had my first solo
