✏️ Long Arm Stapler News 🧷

Zines, quilts, and more!

Greetings, zine fans!

We’re in between episodes this week, but I have lots of exciting things to share 😎

---

First up, my SPRING ZINE TOUR concludes this Saturday in the desert at Mojave Zine Fest! I’ll be on a panel about queer zines, which should be really fun and interesting.

If you’re in the area, stop by and say hi! I’ll be tabling with my bud Angie/Delta Rat, and Miquela Davis will be there, too 🤩

---

Small beaded quilt commissions are open on my ko-fi, and all funds go towards getting my copier fixed. You can also buy zines, stickers, join the mini zine monthly mail club, or support the podcast for $1/month! You can also just tip me lol!

---

I’m almost done with my quilt for the Alameda County Fair!!!! Which is great because the deadline to finish my entry form is coming up very soon, as is the period in which I can drop it off 🫣 I worked on it a lot over the weekend, here’s my progress so far:

I’m going to add at least two more faces (Super Saiyan Goku and either Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion or maybe Koenma from Yu Yu Hakusho? Koenma might be more fun…)

---

Bay Area Queer Zine Fest has an exciting June planned! We’ll be guests at at least two Pride events, and applications open June 1st (but you didn’t hear it from me 😉).

We’ll be at Sonora Pride on June 7th in Sonora, CA and Fremont Pride Fair on June 13th in Fremont, CA.

---

Finally, my beloved freak haven Crisis Club Gallery is unfortunately closing at the end of the month. If you’re in the area, come see the Best in Show IV closing reception and say goodbye to the gallery!

that’s all for now!
