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.

massively disappointing that no matter how hard i try i cant grow proper underarm hair 😅 put my new swimming costume thru its paces by basically taking a bath outside on our wee holiday last week 10/10 wld recommend #queer #butch #fife #scotland #fat #fatoutdoors #queeroutdoors
spent a lovely two hours in Edinburgh today revisiting familiar places and re-orientating myself in the city. featured are: a birthday haul of books from @lighthousebks thanks to our lovely neighbours/pals @beckywojturska ; walking to our old tenement off cowgate which we moved to almost exactly 4 years ago! Some of yous might recognise the red door... it was kinda horrible but also great and im really glad we don't live there now the ground floor is a hostel lol; brunch from @beetrootsauvage (look at that French toast); and the blossom on the meadows (made me think of @stleonardscrag 🌸🌸) #edinburgh #scotland #booksta #queer #saoralba #trans #vegansofig #veganedinburgh #daytrip #errands
It took us a wee bit longer than usual to get this zine ready but finally the 2021 @cycletourfest zine is here! (Who are we kidding? If anything this was a fast turnover for us 😅) 60 pages of delicious cycle touring goodness from lots of excellent cycling folk. Have a gander via the link in our bio and let us know what you think 🧐 #cycling #CycleTouring #zine #zinemaking #collage #collabZine #cycletouringfestival #zines
beautifully dappled with early evening sunlight (first time we've seen the sun all day 🌞) its recipes for wild vegans issue 4!!!! risoprinted in black/purple/medium blue by the lovely folks at sundays print, I posted these out to patreons today along with this digital print of abi's tribute to sudocrem - cures all ills 🍑🍑🍑 #zines #zine #risoprinting #riso #diy #vegan #VeganCyclists #lino #linocut #CutAndPaste #cycletouring #eurovelo #cycling #illustration #design
consider this our out of office until friday - travelled to the furthest neuk of fife - will be spending our week cooking bananas on a fire, sleeping n reading #queeroutdoors #vegan #vegansofig #vegansoutdoors #fife #camping
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
