Shop/Merch Update!

There's a lot to talk about, so idk, read this on the toilet or while you're waiting for water to boil. Kill some time with me. Let's get into it 🧡

Millennial Lesbian

This past weekend was Virtual CanZine, where Millennial Lesbian was nominated for Broken Pencil's Zine Award  for Best in Comics. What a freakin honor! Millennial Lesbian was my first big project, which I did last year (2019) and have now retired from printing.

The final remaining copies (about 20, last I checked) are available through Broken Pencil/CanZine. They all have a hand written note in the back cover by me :3c

Millennial Lesbian PART 2: Gumroad Bugaloo

However!! I do have ML up as a PDF on Gumroad (oh, I have a Gumroad now). Alongside ML, I have the Millennial Lesbian Bonus Zine, which is a compilation of brief words of encouragement from 15 different lesbians, anonymously.

ML: Bonus Zine is pay whatever you want. ML itself is a HUUUUGE PDF so Gumroad makes me charge *something*, sooo it's $1. Please enjoy, send it to friends, spread the love.

Gumroad? More zines? Hard copies? PDFs?

Mm, yes. I have spent all of 2020 working on... survival, my day job, moving, and also my graphic novel pitch packet. But guess what? The pitch packet is DONE!!! So I can finally turn my attention to making more zines. I have a ton of things on my inspo-list that have just been piling up all summer.

Future zines/comics will be available for digital download on Gumroad. I will have hard copies available in my regular shop as usual (as it's much easier for me to keep track of inventory this way).

Currently I don't *really* have any zines in my shop because! I simply didn't have enough time to make anything!!! But I do have...

Stickers + prints + such!

This month, I rearranged the shop a bit. It has been updated to include the past year's worth of Patreon stickers, along with a mystery sticker 5 pack where I give you some mystery stickers of my choosing, some listed in the shop, some not. If you missed out on a particular sticker in the past year, check out the shop! It might be there!

Also in the shop is The Mythology of Lesbians risograph print pre-order. My local riso print studio just got back to me about getting this baby printed. It's gonna look SO GOOD. So make sure you get in on this. I'll be shipping them out at the end of November. No promises on if it would get to you in time for the holidays (esp if you're international) but hey! Who knows. Worth a shot X)

PS: Reine tiers and up get a monthly discount code for 15% off everything in the shop.

What's next?

As mentioned in one of the points above, I am working on some new zines. AND a new acrylic charm design :0c I'm really, really excited about it. I'm trying out some new manufacturers for charms and prints and things (always) so thank you for bearing with me as we move along.

I'm also low key thinking about moving away from carrying t-shirts. It's a lot of merch to dedicate space for, especially because I want to be size inclusive! I'm considering moving more into reusable bags for textile printing. In the future, if the inspiration strikes, I may do a one-off shirt design, but it's not something I want to focus on right now. So if you have your eye on a t-shirt, I'd say go for it!

And thank you!

Beyond all that, who knows what's next. My first enamel pin? Heart shaped buttons? We just don't know! But thank you all for being here with me and for reading this absolutely massive amount of text. I feel very grateful that I get to keep making things to share with you all.

LOVE!
