Last week I had an awesome time catching up with some old Dunedin friends who have been road-tripping around the country with the Regeneration organisation. They are basically travelling around New Zealand talking to awesome people, making connections, and looking at some awesome social and environmental initiatives that are happening.
Plus they’re filming a bunch of rad people from the different regions, and they decided to film me. So yeh, I chatted about writing queer and trans comics, and what it means to me. It was really awesome, and I felt quite honoured to be a part of it all.
Here’s the vid:

Plus! I’m also going to be having a table at the Auckland Zine Fest in July and I’m keen to have heaps of queer and trans zines available for people to buy/peruse. If anyone wants to make some, then send it to me, I’d be happy to sell it for ya. Just flick me an email: s orchard (AT) ymail (dot) com (and yep, it’s a Y not a G).

I wish I could have gone, but I’m busy and poor. ;_;

Re. Getting back to the real world and realising not everyone is queer:
I KNOW, RIGHT?! I went into Hallensteins to buy myself a new shirt the day after I got back from the hui, and when I left the changing room I saw a woman with a baby in a push-chair helping her businessman husband buy new clothes. I don’t think my brain could take that much heteronormativity so soon. I’m lucky I survived the incident, really.
haha oh dear! You could make them queer in your mind, perhaps they were both trans, and he had the baby, and they were then going back to their polyamorous love nest??
