Many hellos and welcome to Happy Mail Monday. The last one of 2019? Maybe. Either way, I have some fabulous mail from US friends to share with you today.

Thank you so much for watching.

Help Nyx Get to 2020 FotP Zine Fest

It’s happening!

From 8 Feb 2020 – 9 Feb 2020, Sticky Institute is putting on the Festival of the Photocopier! Zinemakers from all over Australia – and all over the world! – will be making their way to Melbourne for a weekend of zine goodness.

And… I’d really like to go, too.

Like last year, I didn’t think I would be able to go to the next FotP, but wonderful friends convinced me that it could happen again. My reality, however, remains the same. Driving (yep, it’s about the same cost if not cheaper than flying with all the distro goods) means a car tune up, petrol costs, accommodation, etc. I know it’s probably the worst time of year to ask for this kind of help, but this is the only way it can really happen.

If you’d like to know more of the details, they’re on the Go Fund Me page.

Until next time, I hope the day has treated you well and tomorrow will be even better.

Call for Zine-Related Research

Hello! I’m Meeni, a zinester and university student! In the framework of a Gender and Diversity degree, I’m writing a master’s thesis on the intersection of gender and mental illness/neurodiversity as self-documented in zines.
If you have any zines that fit that theme*, or know of any, please let me know! I would be happy to buy (or trade for) any zine that could expand my research project!

I would also really appreciate it if you could spread the word about this project!

You can contact me at: meenilevi@gmail.com 🙂

* this can mean different things such as zines that talk about how autism might affect the way you experience/identify your gender, how being a certain gender affects how your symptoms are perceived, how a certain mental illness affects the way you present gender,… if you think your zine might fit the theme but aren’t sure, contact me anyway. I just love reading new zines!

Once More With Feeling

Hello, dear and wonderful zine friends.

I want to thank you all for all of your patience and kindness while I have been dealing with a messy life and messier mental health. You have all been so incredibly kind without asking questions, without asking more, without demanding justification for me not keeping up with all of the things I had going.

It’s this kindness that has kept me going through the darkest of moments and helped me to not give up.

For that, I cannot possibly thank each and every one of you enough. I will be forever in your debt.

For a long time, I thought ‘just one day, just one week, just one… and then I’ll be fine’. Now I’ve taken a step back from such expectations and am simply taking things day by day. Thank you all for understanding as I learn how to carry on this way.

With that in mind, I make no big promises other than to do what I can as I can. And I simply say another heartfelt thank you and wish you all the very best in your world bubbles.

With love,

Nyx

ZineWriMo 2019 Day 30: ZineWriMo Wrap Up (BONUS: Make a zine about it!)

Hello, hello, and hello once more, wonderful zine friends. Welcome to the final day of ZineWriMo! Hardly seems possible to me, but the calendar tells me that it is so.

ZineWriMo Wrap Up (BONUS: Make a zine about it!)

Ah, what a month. I feel like this year has been a lower key ZineWriMo, which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Creativity and inspiration rather than pressure and stress.

I had two main goals this month: post each day about the prompt for that day and to make the next Missive From Murray Bridge.

I didn’t quite post every day on the day, but that being said, I did learn a bit about self-forgiveness and the fact that life just keeps happening regardless if of whether we like it or not. Haha. Bonus lessons for the win. I also finished up Missives From Murray Bridge 25, which I will be sending out sooner rather than later.

And there we have it – a rather simple wrap up for a nice month of zine creativity.

How did your ZineWriMo go? Did you enjoy the month? The prompts? Did you make a zine or some zines? Let me know in the comments.

Until then, make some zines and spread a little sunshine.

ZineWriMo 2019 Day 29: Friday Night Highlights: Show Off/Write About Your Progress

Hello, and happy Friday-on-Saturday, zine friends. Friday got well and truly away from me, so it’s a double-ZineWriMo post kind of day to round out not only the week but also the end of the month (already!).

Friday Night Highlights: Show Off/Write About Your Progress

My WIP is WIP no more! (Yes, the colours are accurate – I think my printer is running out of ink.) There was one thing I really wanted to do this month, and it’s create the last Missive of 2019. It’s been a longer time in the coming than I’d thought it would be, but that’s neither here nor there. It’s funny for this to be the first in a number of things that wrap up the year, but really, I’m looking forward to the start of 2020.

Have you shown your Friday highlights, or are you waiting for the big wrap up? Let me know in the comments.

Until then, make some zines and spread a little sunshine.
