3) Octavi Navarro's short point-and-click adventures are all fantastic. The Supper: New Blood is no different. Basically a horror-comedy parody of Psycho?

) The Crawling Moon short horror anthology from Neon Hemlock Press.

This is probably my number one favorite horror anthology I've read (and I read a lot of those). While it doesn't bill itself as queer erotic horror that's def an element in a lot of the stories.

Folks, the "communist weird pagan hippy ritual" shit is like one of the few redeeming qualities of Roman Catholicism.

“Trad cath” is, weirdly, code for “unfamiliar with Catholicism”

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.

The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

Matt Walsh: Horrific. The whole thing. Pope Leo blesses a block of ice and then stands there while these communist freaks do some kind of weird pagan Earth worshipping hippy ritual. The leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense. What the hell are we doing here

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Printed up some more Relics zines. They just need to be sewn. Also I cannot figure out what this lightweight cardstock is that I've been getting from a local art store. They don't stock very much of it at a time, and it's not labeled at all.

#linocut #linoprint #zinemaking #zines #bookarts

Several of my relics lino zine fanned out on a gray cutting mat. Most of them have the red cardstock cover, but a few of them are coverless, so you just see the gold ink print on the white interior paper.
