On self care, kindness, self acceptance, and mental health. This is an important zine to me as well, I am trying to dig deeper emotionally and really be present in the moment when I create crossroadtoad.itch.io/tender-heart #zine #zinester

AI art is not "a tool for disabled people", it's harmful to disabled artists who depend on digital commissions to afford basic necessities. stop using disabled people as a shield for your lack of ethics.

I seriously want everyone to go read this zine. I mean it. Everyone. Beautiful, impactful, IMPORTANT read. It's by @kathrynthehuman.bsky.social and psst, I didn't buy out ALL the available copies, so go grab one 😄 #zine #zinereview #diy #disabilityawareness #disability #neurodiversity

I’ve been really loving snakes lately! they’re so neat

Hey, everyone! I moved my low-stakes middle grade book about a disabled autistic kid making friends to itch, and to celebrate it’s totally free to download for the next week! #writingcommunity #middlegrade #autism #queerlit

The longest Zine I have ever made at 48 pages - it is a memoir about trauma, love, and life. Fully illustrated in watercolour with collage as well. 7k words. Dedicated to my Grandma Dawn, 1960-2025 crossroadtoad.itch.io/everything-s...

check my new zine, null. here! feel the empty kind of sadness runs through you until your little angel can fly again.

Listen I know capitalism is forcing artists to feel like vending machines for pictures and having your sense of self worth tied to artistic output is a bitch. Just take my hand we’re going into the fucking woods

just a reminder for those who might’ve missed it: you can download Picnic #1 for totally, truly free! Proud of every piece here, superstars all, and I think you’ll dig it too.

At this point just posting Mazda Porters to help the TL

Working my way through this zine. It explores a lot of trauma and grief i have experienced in my life and I feel like it is a very vulnerable but worthwhile story to be told.

all zines restocked!! 🩷

some people don't "lack common sense" its just not as common as you think! dont get mad at people for not being able to "read between the lines/read the room" or for not knowing things you automatically learned without being told! not everyone can do that so stop expecting it!

Wiggly flowers! #art #illustration

*stumbles onto bluesky for the first time in over a week* I SENSE CROSSROADS POSTING

The Snake sheds its skin and grows from the experience. Art magic finds me at the time I need it to the most. Healing takes time and is never easy, nor is grief an easy emotion to cope with. Take your time.

You can pry my em-dashes and my Oxford commas from my cold, dead hands.

sharing this AI moderation labeler again bc it's been very helpful in labeling profiles that use AI for me to block or hide them! bsky.app/profile/aimo...

I’d rather ritualistically hang myself upon the World Tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days and nights to gain profound wisdom and knowledge than ask ChatGPT anything.
