"Who Shares the Restroom Code with ICE Agents?" is out of print again. I'm plotting another reprint. I also designed an 11x17 version. I had some cheap 20# paper so I cranked out 100 copies with teal ink. Free w/orders of anything from www.halfletterpress.com while supplies last. PDF DL link in +Alt

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

My Reform councilor didn't like my Dover Queers Against Fascists sign at Dover Pride today. Sincere apologies to any fascists or fans of genocide who felt unwelcome at Pride today.

Library workers should already have been boycotting and divesting from Ex Libris and the company keeps adding more and more reasons to divest. bsky.app/profile/simo...

Trans pride was so good. It's amazing how being surrounded by thousands of trans people all day makes me want to stay alive. 10/10 would recommend.

New in stock! These lovely zines from @hollycasio.bsky.social 🧡 penfightdistro.com/book-author/... 🧡

Hello, a little reminder that @jenniegouck.bsky.social and I wrote a long CFP for a conference we're organising, online, next February. Do you have thoughts about book banning and censorship in children's and YA literature? Send 'em in!

Those of us who emailed to complain to Kent libraries have started receiving replies today which double down on the commitment to ensure that no children will be EXPOSED to trans adult literature. Because trans, like all moral panics, is a contagion.

CILIP's statement uses the term trans ideological rather than trans. What are we fucking doing here?

48 hours after Glasgow zine fest and I don't have my usual zine fest lurgy? Incredible.

I got a copy of this at Glasgow Zine Fest this weekend and it is SO GOOD. It totally saved me on the rail replacement journey home yesterday.

Did you know that although Section 28 was repealed in 2003, Kent County Council was the only council in England which voted to uphold their own version of section 28 all the way up until 2010. Way before Reform existed.

Future Fantasteek! No.23 We have some FREE copies for libraries/special collections DM me if you’d like this zine for your library. You can read here: lnkd.in/eas-aqE9 a gift to libraries for all that libraries do. Words Jessy Randall, illustrated by me. @jessyrandall.bsky.social #zines

I made a new zine! It's full of advice on how allies can work alongside trans people to take action in the current moment, lovingly cut-and-pasted over the words of my enemies. Plus lots of nice pictures and memes. Available as a free PDF! Read online or print your own copy! Share with everyone!

Absolutely devastated to learn I used to have 16 usable hours every week to make comics but only figured that out when I made time to do this mid-life crisis Masters now adon't have time to process my mental unravelling through comic form.

Really interesting to see which pals posted about boycotting Eurovision over on insta but then live tweeted the whole thing over here on bluesky.

Sometimes it is so hard being an Eastenders fan you have no idea. I'm writing a complaint email to the BBC immediately and requesting that my vote in the soap award is cancelled.

I got to collaborate with brilliant comics pal @jessmakescomics.bsky.social in a response to the govts planned cuts to disability benefits. Script and overall creative prowess by Jess, art by me.

5 years ago today I shared The Lard Situation for the first time, probably the greatest comic I will ever make. I love how this captures my Nan's confusion of mutual aid and hoarding. She passed away almost 3 years ago now but I can still hear this comic in her voice.

Ahoy mateys! The scurvy bilge rats of British Patriots have announced plans to "protest" against... *checks notes* RNLI Lifeboats, for... *checks notes* saving people from drowning in the Channel. Gather yer crew, splice the mainbrace and plot a course for the RNLI HQ in Poole this Saturday.

Forget all the ‘20-40 years ago’ stuff. Forget all the ‘one lonely MP doing something on the backbenches’ or ‘locally there is a good councillor’. Forget ‘well Corbyn’, that guy’s gone. Focus on Labour as it has been since 2020 & explain presently why you expected better coz I’m *fascinated*

Still see quite a bit of “I can’t believe it’s the LABOUR party doing this” re demonising trans people, cutting social security and all the other heinous stuff they’re up to at the moment and I am really curious to know what precisely it is about the modern Labour Party that means this is a surprise

900 far right fascists scum predicted to be in my town today and my local mp @miketapp.bsky.social is more concerned about whether they will take in the sights of the white cliffs or buy a local coffee.

A friend who was out as a gay man during Section 28 was telling me the advice he used to give to straight allies asking how they could help back then: stand in solidarity with us so that some of the shit they’re throwing at us sticks to you. If you’re clean, you’re not standing close enough.

I feel like queers and trans folk are circulating the same tenner between ourselves and donating to each other's crowdfunders so cis het allies please donate if you can.

With alt text. The kicker comes at the end and it takes a bit to get there, but I tried to describe the rather dry layout leading up to it very clearly because the contrast of dryness to horror is very important to how the image lands for me.

Emergency demo. Come out for trans liberation! Come together with trans organisations, unions, and more to for a community-focused protest against the Supreme Court ruling this Saturday! Bring food and a raincoat. Saturday 19th April, 1pm Parliament Square

All out today in London for trans liberation.

Just thinking about how chill and normal it is to say “large gamete” all the time. Those are cool and normal words and it’s not weird to say them in conversation or write them on signs. So normal! To do that! Like a real normal sane person would do!

Those who claim that unions are ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ of solidarity with trans people should remember that union solidarity with trans people is not new. In 1982, trans woman & union member Linda Hollingsworth was sacked by her employer when she told them she intended to transition

we're also running a yard sale at glasgow zine library on sunday 27 april (next weekend!!) so please pop down if you're local! you can also donate directly to lily's fundraiser here: www.gofundme.com/f/help-lily-... it's a beautiful day to help trans people access care in this shit country!!!

some friends + i are organising a raffle raising ££ for a dear pal's partner's essential surgery + hormones – we have amazing prizes including books, zines + jewellery, vouchers for pole classes, haircuts + more! tickets £1 for 1 / £3 for 5 – details in insta post: www.instagram.com/p/DIjDucxIfdS/

Go to work, clock in, keep working, work through fascism and work through billionaires in space and work through genocides and work through attacks on trans rights and keep up the work, if you can't work just die, don't stop working, not even to scream, just work, and circle back to those KPIs.

Breaking news Trans Kids Deserve Better have climbed the telegraph office building and hung a banner saying "the daily smellograph"

All my trans family deserve a day off the fucking internet.

Here's a banger from Sandy Berman about the #lcsh changes from Mount Denali to Mount McKinley and Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America (and The Policy, Training, and Cooperative Programs Division of the Library of Congress being "handmaidens to chauvinism, ethnocentrism and fascism."). 📚

Monday update: £1086 in the funding pot 52/276 book requests bought as gifts 📚🎁 Today I'll be packing up books to send and ordering more using the funding pot. Help me order more to give away to trans folks! penfightdistro.com/product-cate... #TransDayofVisibility

The army is a giant machine for churning out death, disability & mental illness and the ex-soldiers maimed or mentally shattered by it should expect less than no support from the government, while also being demonised by our patriotic British media as fakers and scroungers if they make a fuss.

The government has decided that your crippling trauma and physical injuries from all the terrible things the state required you to do is simply down to overdiagnosis, so please step this way and join the lines of ex-soldiers on the streets, in prison, or in a self-inflicted grave...

Sometimes I wonder what those 7 thousand ppl who sent me death threats over my poppy comic are up to now. Are they taking part in disability activism for veterans? Are they coordinating die-ins to express rage?Are they advocating for disabled veterans fucked over by these cuts? Or is a poppy enough?

My local mp @miketapp.bsky.social is just a regular hard working everyday man of the people, just your average relatable down to earth tory in disguise. Surprised there's not an option for pushing disabled people into poverty and maintaining border violence tbh

My mp @miketapp.bsky.social is too busy to reply to emails from his constituents because he's eagerly cheering on disability cuts to the most vulnerable people and adding Rule Britania audio clips to videos of his recent paywalled article over on twitter. Good job Mike.

TRANS DAY OF STAYING IN AND HAVING A NICE BOOK! returns for 2025. Are you a trans person living in the UK? Would you like someone to buy you a book of your choice for TDoV? The request form is now open: forms.gle/z7VuSDFU5AcL...

Come hang out with me, @uclspeccoll.bsky.social and @sladeschoolucl.bsky.social as our first ever Small Press in Residence. £5,000 to spend flexibly, access to collections, and some super facilities: blogs.ucl.ac.uk/special-coll...

RIP Mark Pawson. Mark was a Small Publishers Fair cornerstone and a regular at zine and small press fairs around the world. A prolific and brilliant maker, Mark was also a collector and hugely knowledgeable about the rich world in which he worked. We will miss him. markpawson.uk

So sad to hear about the passing of one of the most creative, innovative, warm and wonderful men that it's ever been my pleasure to know. Mark Pawson, you were a true one off and made the world a bit of a better place. youtu.be/R0V7ez5UP1w?...

So sad to hear that Mark Pawson, king of the photocopier, legend of print culture, and badge maker extraordinaire has passed. He was brilliant and shared so much and zine fairs won't be the same without him.
