Abi, a white, fat, butch person with short brown hair, is standing looking down. She is wearing blue rimmed glasses and a lycra cycling jersey with a leaf pattern and bright orange cuffs. There are rocks and the sea in the background. The sky is bright blue.

today we are 'at' @swanseazinefest - we are part of the zine readings at 3pm BST (making pancakes on a campstove in our garden lol) and we also put together a wee video all about @edinburghzinelibrary Because we don't have access to the physical library at the moment, the video relied heavily on my obsessive scrapbooking of everything to do with the zine library - from visiting weirdo zine fest in Hackney in 2017 (our first zine fair!) where we had the idea, to now, via a lot of beautiful envelopes, lovely notes and ofc amazing zines! Putting the video together also made me feel very soppy and grateful for the zine library crew, who feel like a little fam and who have been such a touchstone for us during the last year and a bit, and for zines generally which have connected us with so many amazing people. Ok, feelings over, normal content will resume shortly #zines #zine #diycommunity #ZinePals #scrapbook #zinelibrary #SZF2021
book, @meerasodha 's aubergine donburi (with a cheeky extra bit of tofu/spicy bau bun from the freezer) and an unironed tablecloth... not only is gears for queers being distributed in occupied turtle island aka the US (although with a slight delay, looking like June!) but we are going to be down to see fam in england at the end of May/beginning of June so if you're thinking about buying a copy and you live in Cambridge or Kings Lynn we can deliver it by hand (on two wheels 🚲) will add a code to the bigcartel asap! (also if you're about hit us up if you wanna go for a ride!) #cycling #cycletouring #booksta #bookstagram #authorsofig #GearsForQueers #vegan #vegansofig #whatveganseat #cambridge #norfolk #veganfoodshare #queer #trans
ok adjusting to living with a third person who is also my mum is interesting after 4 years living just us and 6 months of basically seeing no-one else and becoming a strange merged unit (anyone else struggling to disentangle from their partner/s after lockdown?)... but one of the positives is there's someone who can take photos of us together 😅 (its also v nice to see her and hang out and stuff ofc) #scotland #dunfermline #fife #queer #UrgeToMerge #BRBPlayingZeldaInOurBedroom
IT LIVES ⚡⚡⚡ wild vegans 4 (2 years in the making lol) is currently being printed by the lovely folks @sundays_print and will hopefully be in the hands of our patreons and pals by mid May! (so now wld be a great time to sign up...) we'll be putting it out for everyone to buy later this year but we wanna give first copies to the folks who have supported us on patreon ! we are super grateful for it esp this yr without zine fairs, and we are soooo close to the cost of a laser printer which is v exciting. as a wee teaser these are some background collages we experimented with for pages, in all their grey scale glory #zines #zine #diy #zinemaking #collage #cutandpaste #zinester #vegan #vegansofig #design
took troy to see some birds at loch leven and basically experienced all four seasons during our walk around it. at home now nursing our sore feet - 20km hits different when you're not on two wheels lol #scotland #lochleven
✨ giveaway time ✨ those who saw our story last week will know the exciting news that gears for queers will soon be available in bookstores across occupied Turtle Island aka the US !!! I think from the 15th May...! To celebrate we are doing a giveaway - to enter tag yr fave stateside bookstore or distro below ⬇️ bonus points if they are radical or queer! two lucky folks will win an entire run of our recipes for wild vegans zines including the so-new-its-not-even-back-from-the-printers-yet issue 4!!! (we literally only have a few copies of 1&2 left in our possession so this is hot stuff!) plus copies of our patreon zines, a full set of gears for queers badges and any other merch we can find to throw at you, all sent to wherever you are in the world. Ends Saturday at midnight BST and we will draw and distribute on Sunday! #zines #booksta #bookstagram #zine #diycommunity #diyculture #giveaway #illustration #handmade #books #amreading #authorsofig #queer #queerbooks #queeroutdoors #nonbinary #transbooks #transpride #cycletouring #bikepacking #cycling #vegan #vegansofig #veganzines
