I gotta get serious about working on a new zine
yes my thighs are thick, leave me alone now please
Want a sneak peek from issue 2 of Total Recall of the Heart? Here’s the part where we stop being coy about the book’s politics;
From the art to the stakes, no one can accuse us of holding back from this point on 😌♥️
I can never tell if I want to be buried in it or if I want to give it to someone as a significant piece of me but that’s a problem for future Phoebe
Soz not soz for reusing insta stories but we need a moment for the fit & especially the jacket; I fished this bad boy out of a (thrift) bin in Bethnal Green near 11 years ago and been adding the patches ever since
I realise this morning I am lowkey quite nervous about the post going live (the universe picked a hell of a time to make me hyper conscious of how my image can be taken and used beyond my intentions) but alas I think we’ve just gotta hit “fuck it”, right?
This is calibre of talent we're working with over here
I've never had to look at myself in motion, let alone cut together moving images of myself; if i get even one usable video out of today's nonsense you better all tell me i did a very good job 🥲
Use your newfound knowledge and power wisely 😌😌😌(it’s the goldfish brand Chinese curry sauce, specifically)
I found a tub of the curry sauce paste (just add water) in the Asian section of a Tesco once and being able to make this at home has been a good and dangerous development in my life
NGL I’m not entirely over just how cute this photo is (I know it’s literally my profile pic) so here it is again ♥️
I am not promoting this *nearly enough* thanks to the crushing workload of actually MAKING the book, but!
We’re making a romcom! If you like queer characters, relationship friction, and as much humour as we could cram in, maybe you should read the preview at the link, and possibly even preorder?

To celebrate World Book Day we have some fun facts to share to help raise awareness of the value of comics via The Comics Cultural Impact Collective (CCIC)
There is a 'Reading for Pleasure Crisis' in the UK amongst 8-18 with rates at their lowest since records began... but not amongst comics readers! Nearly twice as many young comics readers said they enjoyed reading compared with non-comics readers (58.6% vs.33.1%). *National Literacy Trust Research
40.3% of 8-18 year olds read comics 27%of adults read comics once a month 31% of adults do/have read comics The audience for comics in the UK is large and more diverse than for traditional artform in terms of class, ethnicity and neurodivergence. *Research from 1. The National Literacy Trust 2. The Reading Agency 3. Professor Andrew Miles and YouGov/Manchester University
Comics are big business. 2025 was the biggest year for comics since accurate records began (£78.7m across adult and kids' via BookScan). Waterstones reported tripling of sales and store mix for Manga & Adult GNs combined from 2019 to 2024.

These are the shoes, FYI
I’m in the process of digging out all my old (read: ambitiously high heels and/or otherwise impractical) shoes to hopefully start getting more use out of them, so we start by doing it around the house
No, I don’t need to be six foot tall to meal prep breakfast pancakes; but here we are

It feels so hollow to be promoting a new comic alongside all these horrors happening in real time. I know we’re all out here doing the best we can—some of it will help improve things, and some of it won’t move the needle at all.
Still, thank you to everyone who has ever supported small creators.

No but seriously it’s got a left and a right output and only plugging into one did ZILCH so do I need to get a splitter to make it work with new speakers?
I actually don’t think I’ve had to buy a separate/wired speaker in my life thanks to Bluetooth and built-in-speaker cd players - any thoughts?
Future Phoebe solved the “where to put it” problem but has now run into “what speakers do I need to make it make noise” problem 🥲
It’s safe to say “where am I going to put this” did not factor into the decision making 😅
I mean, it absolutely is 👀
I don’t own cds and vinyls (let alone cassette tapes) anymore but by GOD I am tempted to grab this (£20!! A steal!!)

A screenshot of Pombon, a Pomeranian-based starter Pokémon. He looks very cheery, such a good boy
A crop of a comics panel of Templeton, a little shit of a Pomeranian, being extremely grumpily held up by someone
It’s extremely funny to me that one of the new starter Pokémon is like a non-evil version of Templeton #WorstManOGN
the amount of rage i get every time i open a PDF and adobe is like "this looks like a long document, want us to summarise it for you with AI?" is unparalelled
It's only 11 pages! it's 11 pages of nothing but pictures!! even ifi it was 200+ pages, stick your AI up your arse and let me do my job!
