Letterpress printing a perzine since 1996 means that I’ve been publishing my life longer than I haven’t been. Also I like cats and vegan baking. I’m a huge LotR nerd and practice HEMA.
Braved public transit to Pleasanton to meet up with some Bay Area Carrock Smial folks at the Inklings cafe. A bit of a trek, but worth it for Tolkien or Lewis fans to check out. @thecarrocksmial.bsky.social
