my game THE OCEAN WELCOMES YOU is in this bundle!

i had another de-google workshop in person today and it was fantastic! so much great conversation and info-sharing (also the best turnout we've had yet). i updated the slides on my website to accurately match my presentation (which evolves as i learn more things!): acd.works/degoogle

i have no idea why this account is incapable of posting pictures without them getting wildly distorted and unintelligible. i'm going to keep trying to post pictures and it's probably going to keep not working but! shrugs. ain't that just the way

my zines are available in a brick-and-mortar store! if you're in seattle, stop by Paper Pushers Print Shop (more info: seattlerestored.org/locations/paper-pushers-print-shop/) to pick up TK VISION, A.C.D'S GUIDE TO PUKING IN PUBLIC, or i don't talk to thin people.

a 4k-word short story about Lune, a lesbian living in an apartment full of ghosts, who decides to become an owl. It's harder than s/he thought. originally published in Sinister Wisdom Issue 139: Mad Dykes, Queer Worlds. on my website: acd.works/writing/od on itchio: acdworks.itch.io/owldyke

@acd.works's "CELEBRATING OBESITY" was our first acceptance for this issue, and an enthusiastic one –– a satirical + deeply serious piece on self-love and a refusal of anti-fatness. manyworlds.place/issue-11/a-c...

hey that's me

Welcome to issue 11! It shaped up to be thick with liberatory gestures – on disability, fatness, Blackness, youth, and more. Creatives across/against genre and medium tackle pressing issues of disposibility and resistance. manyworlds.place/issue-11/ Some highlights:

hey this bangs and you should spend ~45 mins of your time playing it

i have no idea why no images i post on this account actually show up but. ah well! i guess i will just pretend it was a deliberate aesthetic choice lmao

that thread was already too long so i didn't want to add more, but another reason i added the materials section to my about is because i think everyone should be upfront about how they're making physical goods and where their materials are coming from. i stopped using a printing service because +

i've been thinking a lot lately about knowledge hierarchies and the accessibility of creating things. recently i tabled at an art market where someone was confused by my minizines but when i explained them, they were so excited because they wanted to make one. zine culture being very DIY and +

this zine took me a million years to make because i collaged everything meticulously by hand! there was a lot of trial and error and things i would've changed about the process, but i'm very proud of the final result regardless!

baby teeth / falling out a reversible zine featuring 5 of my poems in one direction, as well as the same 5 poems recreated—as best as I could—using words collaged from misprints of my other work when you flip the zine upside down. download to read/print on my website: acd.works/writing/btfo

THE OCEAN WELCOMES YOU will be released on Sunday, January 25th 2026. it's an interactive fiction game that starts as a whodunnit murder mystery and morphs into a horror as the story wants more bodies. i'm excited to share it with the world!

DE-GOOGLE YOUR LIFE! i'm hosting a remote workshop i've done a few times IRL dedicated to divesting from google/similar tech companies! i'll give a presentation and then body double with folks for an hour and a half as we de-google together. join at acd.works/workshop on december 15th at 7pm EST!

it's itchio creator day so i'm doing a bundle until december 3rd! all of my writing is available to download for free regardless but if you want to chuck me $15 for it, it would be greatly appreciated buy the bundle: itch.io/s/168997/acd...

since i already have them all on my website (along with download links), i uploaded all of my minizines onto one itchio page called a.c.d's minizine collection! you can download any/all of them here: acdworks.itch.io/minizines i'll be updating it regularly as i make new ones!

started writing a new short story about a girl who dies and meets death A LOT. i'm excited for where i'm going with it :-D

started a new zine! i'm planning on printing the 5 poems on my website and then mirroring them using only the words from misprints of my 10 songs zine, with all the missing words blacked out/redacted. i want it to be a kind of reflection on my own personal themes in my writing and what i prioritize

ExploringYourWorld a collage poem by a.c.d i ran a found/collage poetry workshop a few days ago and this is one of the things i created. i like how it turned out! you can also see it on my website: acd.works/writing/collages/exploring

recently acquired a very nice expensive printer so that i can start printing my own stickers! i did some test prints today that turned out very good besides a few first-pancake hiccups. i'm gonna hit up my local reuse junk shop for more supplies so i can perfect my printing process

10 songs to lose your mind to a zine by a.c.d a zine/playlist that explores my experiences with psychosis through music buy here: acdworks.itch.io/10songs

Make Yourself Feel BETTER! a collage poem thing by a.c.d made from an email my insurance sent me about "self care", a scammy car advertisement i got in the mail, and a financial planner i stopped using you can also look at it on my website: acd.works/writing/collages/better

i'm finally ready to make the switch! my website might be down for a few days while the DNS settings update

and last update (sorry i'm rarely on bsky these days) i updated my newsletter again! subscribe at buttondown.com/acdworks and make the fact that i'm trying to stay off bsky and instagram worth it

i'm also working ONCE AGAIN on transferring website hosts, now to neocities which i cannot recommend enough! i'm using @kayleerowena.com's template, which has really helped get it set up. i know enough html/css to manipulate the code but not enough design a site wholecloth

i recently finished a new 16-page zine! i'm gonna work on printing it today and set up a pdf to put on my itchio so keep an eye out for that

new blog post: this morning i went hunting for lists of conventions/zine fairs to apply to & made a list of all the lists i found kayleerowena.com/blog/2025/co...

GALL STONE FRUIT a digital collage by a.c.d i have chronic gallstones despite having my gallbladder removed 10 years ago (doctors love telling me how wild that is) so i made some art about it! more info + better image on my website: acd.works/gallstone

going to redo my pinned real fast hold tight

i have a newsletter now! it's completely free and will stay that way. i've become VERY disillusioned with the current socmed climate, so hopefully this will help combat that. expect a first post within the week subscribe here: buttondown.com/acdworks

i spent a few hours last night getting familiar with the engine i want to use for THE OCEAN WELCOMES YOU instead of twine and i think i'm going to take the plunge! if i can learn twine and rpgmaker XP then i can learn this bad boy

in other a.c.d news: i was recently discharged from my 4th hospital stay in as many years, coupled with trying to focus my energy on irl Action so i don't fall into a pit of despair, i haven't been writing basically at all these past two months

shoutout to my local junk/secondhand craft store, where i essentially stock everything for my market table that's not the actual art i sell

i'm tabling at an art market on saturday that encouraged all the vendors to include an interactive element to their booth SO i'm setting up a "fold your own minizine" station and i made this tutorial to include in it! whenever i fold one-page zines, this is how i do it

i've folded an unearthly amount of zines in the past hour

i don't talk to thin people. a short satirical zine about about how it feels to be a fat person sometimes. everything in this is a joking rendition based on real experiences. buy the PDF for $5+ here: acdworks.itch.io/thin

my redesigned website is also up now! check it out at: acd.works/

last night i got kind of obsessed with the idea of writing something about a character named Sleep. we'll see if anything comes of it but Sleep is a really good name for someone imo

my website is going to be down for a few days as i switch website hosts! i'll post here when it's back up

been working on layout for my next zine this weekend and really liking how it's turning out! "i don't talk to thin people." will probably be the last new thing i make before i start printing and assembling everything i need for my store/future markets/zinefests

Thinking about media that gets celebrated for its diverse and inclusive approach to sexuality and yet fat people are nowhere to be found save for maybe as evil trolls and demons, their bodies an object of horror and ridicule

i also finished up all the writing for my next zine and now i just have to edit and then do layout, so that's exciting

slowly but surely migrating my website over to a new, cheaper, more fun webhost. hoping i have something to show by next week and can fully make the switch!

i'm planning on switching my webhost and redesigning my website soon! i found a cool alternative to my boring one
