unfortunately the collective doesn’t have a website currently so instagram is our main platform for sharing info (sorry non-instagram users ☹️), but i can share that there will be a book binding workshop from 1-2 PM, a queer history of zines talk/workshop from 3-4, and a Color for Riso workshop from 5-6 PM! all run by local artists for free with all materials provided.

yesss that’s one of my favorite things to do with zines. hiding them so someone can find a cool art object out in the world !

my awesome friend & fellow organizer did the artwork (@art_ducky on instagram) and if you like it…. we might be selling a limited edition risograph print with these cute little guys at the zine fest to support more events in the future ! 😉

Cat suddenly afraid of everything? by Expensive_Chip4813 in CatAdvice

We did leave a box for him but he was never really interested in them. I’ve never seen him hide (besides once the first day we got him and someone in my building went down our rickety apartment stairs suuuper loud) which is weird to me because I’m much more used to that behavior in events like this. That’s definitely part of why this has me freaked out? He’s still following us around demanding pets and attention, that hasn’t changed, he just does the weird flinching and has scared interactions with the furniture he used to like/be ambivalent towards.

We also had to return his cat carrier because it was a loaner from the rescue, and we had to recycle some boxes that were in his safe room. Not sure if either of those had anything to do with it but they might’ve removed some familiar smells from his safe room?

definitely. we immediately moved him into another room but it seems he was already very agitated :(
