PRE-ORDER - Desire Hope Despair tee redux
Cyborg Memoirs revival begins to materialize + a couple December market dates for your calendar
Whew, hi.
It's Q4 of this wretched empire's year / beautiful time and horrifying era on earth. I've been transmogrifying. Hold on to your heart.
I am at a stage in editing the previously mentioned and tentatively titled tumblr archive zine where it's much closer to "almost done" now than when it was "almost done" a couple months ago. So that is promising. Def close to getting sent to the printers. Happy (as in grateful) to say the money from (largely) my Patreon and Substack supporters here is making it (and a few other things) possible to publish. I'll share a PDF when the time comes.

DHD TEE PRE-ORDER now thru this Monday 11/13
The BIG news for this message is that I'm rereleasing the much loved DESIRE HOPE DESPAIR tee this December, sizes 5X thru S.
The window to place your pre-order is from NOW thru MONDAY 11/13.
It’s a small window, yes, but selling apparel is not my favorite activity. I much prefer dealing in smaller, flat items like books, zines, stickers, and the like. Enough people requested the shirt to come back, though, so now’s your chance.
IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED, that the shirt in the image above is one of the original editions, printed on heavyweight Gildan tees. The redux shirts will be on Shaka Wear garment dye blanks, with puff paint ink. The full details and measurements are in the listing.
Market Dates & New Gear
As part of my 2023 project of the Cyborg Memoirs revival, I’ll be vending at two events in the first half of December, debuting a minor bounty of brand new items I’ve been working on in silence these past months.
Dec 2nd (sat) - PHILLY ZINE FEST
10-5pm at Mitten Hall, Temple University
1913 N Broad St, North Philly
Dec 10th (sun) - TRANS ART MART
11-5pm at BOK Building, West Gym
821 Dudley St, South Philly
It’s been a long time since I’ve put out anything new in the material world, so if you’re around, I would love to see you. And if not, of course stay tuned here, because I’ll be announcing when the other items I’ve been working on are available in my distro.

If you have been missing my audio episodes and my longer writings, stay with me. This year I have had to become ever more disciplined with my time and energy in order to get just about anything done, and I am determined to realize the archive zine before I say anything else or start any other projects so there. Another aspect of the revival.
