The Cannonkeys meetup was a great time. Just for accountability, I raised $90 in sales which was donated to Girls Who Code. My employer does donation matching so it became $180.



Thanks to everyone who bought zines or came to chat with Lamp and I. Please check out their Switch+ magazine project!!

I do have extras of the new Vol 2.2 zines. They were first on sale at the CK meetup and they'll go up for sale soon on the storefront. I'll announce the sale when the time is ready. Thanks!


Update:


Goat paid me a little after the meetup and I donated a little more to GWC. Again, this is my company's donation portal where they do matching.

Quick Update: I've been really busy irl and have had no time to work on the zine or run a sale. The online sale for Vol 2.2 will most likely happen in early October. I've got extras of Vol 2.1 too. Thanks for your patience. I'll be back with more zines soon!

For the first time in 2 months, I had a free weekend. I picked between prepping for the Vol 2.2 sale and building a keyboard. Since it feels like the most I can be in this hobby is to build a custom keyboard, I opted to do that...and also because I honestly felt like doing something for myself. Please continue being patient for the Vol 2.2 sale.

I can offer you a build log for my newly built Amano though! Check it out here on my website!.

Hello, time for another long overdue update. I obviously missed the October window for having a sale and I apologize for that. However, I plan on having a sale tomorrow evening. I'm gonna try doing a timed window sale like how artisan sales are. This is also because of the lack of inventory management available on the free bigcartel tier smh. They won't allow me to enter in a quantity of goods I have available so I have to manually track that.

So the sale window will be open on: Sunday 11/5/23 1600-2000 (4pm to 8pm) Eastern USA while stock lasts. I'll have Volumes 2.1 and 2.2 for sale.



Also I will be attending the NYC meetup in December. Of course I'll have zines for sale. But I'm also cooking up something else for the meetup. For now I'll leave this clue.

Sale is up here: https://tactilezine.bigcartel.com/products

Vol 2.2 sold out. I'll leave the sale up for anyone who wants Vol 2.1

This sales window is closed. I have to finish up some thank you notes and I messed up one of the zines so I'll have to reprint that. Then I'll package everything and drop it off to be mailed out. I'll post more update as I have them. Thanks again for all the support and interest!

Feels almost nostalgic to spend a few evenings folding paper and stuffing envelopes. Orders should be going out before the weekend. I'll post more updates as I have them. Also I'm out of extras for now. If you missed out you'll have to wait until next time.

It's just another day...

All orders from this weekend's Vol 2.2 Sale have been dropped off at the post office. As a friendly reminder, there is no tracking number as I ship via USPS letter mail aka snail mail using stamps.


If you live in the USA, USPS thinks it'll take this long for your zines to arrive.

If you're outside the USA, Thank you for your support and I'm sorry for the wait.

Thanks very much as always. Now onto the next project. Hopefully I'll be able to announce it soon!

Nice. Hope the second volume ships as quickly as the first one (considering international shipping and all)

I really hope so too! Please let me know when yours arrives as I think your zine has the farthest to travel lol. I'm using your order as the longest wait time people can expect...hopefully.

I forgot to post this here but just to make sure it's at least documented here:









Azi Keycaps and I are doing a collab. I'm gonna have zines, caps, and stickers for sale. Special thanks to aqlno for the sticker design. Exclusively for sale at the December 2023 NYC meetup. Check out this link for more information

I have an unfortunate couple of updates:

1) Brazilian customs is on strike and Azi Keycaps and I are stuck waiting for the caps to actually ship to me from Brazil. We do not know when the package will be moving or when it will arrive to me. Therefore, I do not have the caps in hand.

Instead, I will be giving out dibs tickets at the meetup which will grant you entry to a private online sale exclusive to meetup attendees. The new price will be $36 + shipping now unfortunately for the bundle.

To enter the future sale, you will fill out the dibs ticket and send me an email at the meetup. When I have the caps, I will send everyone an email saying the sale is ready with the form. In addition to filling out the Google Form, you will need to include a picture of the dibs ticket filled out and include one of the giveaways from the meetup (cap, stickers, keyboard card, etc). If this step is missed, you will not be eligible for the sale.

2) I have been locked out of my @tactilezine instagram account. I'm waiting to see if I can retrieve it but if not, I'll have to create another account sadly. Please keep an eye on my site as well as this thread..
