A place to post your Call for Submissions for any zine projects you are working on.
So after a couple of months since moving house and becoming somewhat disconnected from the outside world, I have the internet back in my life, and I can get back to being my normal ball of chaotic creative energy!

Sari M said… - kira! i absolutely love exploding the myth! i had never heard of queer control records before so i checked out the website and i love the music! i'm always on the lookout for good bands and i like all of the ones on the label! i also really enjoyed hearing about your experience with being in a relationship with a transitioning person; i don't hear enough about that in zines.
so, thanks again for trading with me and i hope we can do it again! <3

- Hey! How are you, my friend? <3
Sorry it took so long to get the zine to you,my life is a chaotic mess! I'm uprooting AGAIN & moving to Wisconsin in three weeks. Hopefully, I'll be pumping out a mini zine once I get settled down there. I'm also trying to organize a zine focused on health care for gender neutral folks, which will be a much longer process.
If you getcher mits on any copies of #2, let me know!<3
