A Mosaic of the Unhuman

Also, is there a good place to find a list of other alterhuman zines? Especially free to download ones! And if not can you just link a few that you like? 🙏

Status is: Should be done before the end of the year, but can't promise much more than that. Life is incredibly hectic right now (like, you would NOT believe the incalcuable shitstorm going on rn IRL that I haven't been talking about online), but I'm hoping to keep to the same timetable as I did for Inky Paws #1.

For other free-to-download or free-to-view alterhuman zines, may I interest you in:

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

...but the fun has just begun!

Every year, I get such an enormous rush of motivation during Othercon - to be more active in the community, to do more, to leave my pawprints here. This is not about fame or anything, but I think we all, deep down, want to be seen in one way or another.

And in this community, this wonderful and small community, we ALL have the realistic chance to be seen. We all can bring this community forward in our own ways. Actually, we have to. In the alterhuman community, we have to be the change we want to see, we have to make the posts we want to see, because we ARE the community. Every single one of us.

So please, don't be afraid to post about your experiences. To borrow the words of the awesome @who-is-page : You're not a museum piece. Put yourself out there!

Tell us about your day as an angelkin. Explain to us how your phantom shifts feel. Talk about your experiences as an alien. Just be present. Be active. You're so important to this community, and I promise, we want to read every single one of your posts, your opinion and your view on things is so so valued!
