lb_lee: Rogan drawing/writing in a spiral. (art)
The paper book is $8.00 on Etsy, and the PDF is on itch.io for $4.00. It was the big hit at MICE this weekend, outselling everything else! (And to think, Mori was worried nobody would be interested...)

When you’re severely mentally ill, religion or magic may seem like nothing but worsening symptoms, but what happens when therapy, medication, and doubt doesn’t make it go away? Herein, Mori of LB Lee talks magic and multiplicity, sanity and spirituality:
• Autonomancy, semiotics, and dance to communicate with the subconscious mind (depicted as a cartoony whale)
• Exorcism, coercive belief modification, and how belief is less about thoughts or feelings than behavior
• Sanity-boosting, inner community building, and body rooting
52 pages, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, black and white.

A textured dark gray handprint, with a white circumscribed triangle and square on the palm. The outside of the circle makes a ring of symbols. Text reads Madgic: a sanity and sorcery zine by Mori of LB Lee. The title is written in spikey text, with a heart worked into the D, a spiral for the G, and an x dotting the I.

I'm trying out yet another new ebook-accessibility thing which, if it works, will make future zine-making a lot simpler. Up till now, I've had to make screenreadable versions manually, deleting every image and replacing it with text and saving it as a different file. However, LibreOffice has recently updated with accessibility tools that, hypothetically, allow straight embedding of alt-text into images in the PDF, meaning that if it works, I could just make the one file for everything. I hope it does. Unfortunately, it seems to crash LibreOffice a whole heck of a lot.
lb_lee: A clay sculpture of a heart, with a black interior containing little red, brown, white, green, and blue figures. (plural)
Inspired by a conversation with [personal profile] monsterqueers.

Even though we came to plurality by way of soulbonding (that is, artists who talked to their characters), over the years, we got into the habit of downplaying our own fictivity.

Let's talk about it. )
