Reminder: Food zine party this Saturday

A calm, generative space to imagine new worlds

Our next food zine party is on Saturday at 2 PM GMT/9 AM EST

The theme is Planting Seeds: So bring your seed stories, your seed paper, and your ideas big and small to a chill, crafting space.

We meet on Zoom for about an hour to chat and create: Then when we’re done I compile all our pages into a digital zine to share.

Zine parties are extra important right now:
When things often feel grim and many of us feel isolated and scared, a creative space where we imagine new worlds rather than hyperfocus on the problems of the present is a boon to mental health but also to creative problem solving.

Our creativity, our imaginations, and our sense of possibility and a feeling that the universe is conspiring in our favor are often the first things to go out the window when things go sideways.

Zine parties might seem frivolous in a moment where so much big, serious stuff is happening, but they help reconnect you to your own creativity and imagination in a low-stakes way, and give you something to do with others that is more generative than doom scrolling.
