i had an idea for a zine that kept evolving in scope to the point where it is now an interactive fiction game. it's about fake movie reviews and saving your best friend from a horrible fate :-D

my attempts to keep my personal bsky and my creator bsky separated mean that i rarely ever log into this account, which is not great for updating folks on what i'm doing creatively. i'm going to try to slide in here and make a post like once a week or something at least

@acd.works's "CELEBRATING OBESITY" was our first acceptance for this issue, and an enthusiastic one –– a satirical + deeply serious piece on self-love and a refusal of anti-fatness. manyworlds.place/issue-11/a-c...
A tan, paper-textured image with brown accents. The words “CELEBRATING OBESITY!” sit at the top in a large bubble font. A round botanical drawing is faded into the background of the image. Two round abstract shapes almost like a person kneeling frame the top paragraph. The text reads, in alternating cursive and bubble fonts: “You are invited—cordially of course—to the wedding of A.C.D & THE FAT THAT HANGS OFF HER BULGING STOMACH. On the EVERY DAY of the EVERY MONTH of the EVERY YEAR. At THE SOFT FEELING OF SUNLIGHT DANCING ACROSS HER EXPOSED THIGHS. Join the 300 POUNDS OF WONDERFUL, UNDULATING FLESH for a night to remember and a large, full life to treasure. The DENSITY OF LOVE, the WEIGHT OF HUMOR, and the HEAVINESS OF SPIRIT to follow. P.S. All gifts in the form of advice, diet pills, or similar smelling bullshit will be torn open and stabbed with a thin person’s fragile rib. P.P.S. The happy couple is only accepting well wishes, poor wishes or any wishes in between in the form of COLD HARD CASH. P.P.P.S. Pay up, shut up, crack like the twig you are.”

ExploringYourWorld a collage poem by a.c.d i ran a found/collage poetry workshop a few days ago and this is one of the things i created. i like how it turned out! you can also see it on my website: acd.works/writing/collages/exploring
A canvas painted in swirls of green and blue and black and pink and yellow. Words from different sources pasted on it that read, "Exploring Your World. How many lines of the poem have specific gravity. each line of a poem has a secret to tell. How many lines read commonly tarnished and iridescent. fracture: perfect. Quarter to six in the morning is occasionally prismatic. Does it take about 30 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes, or 1 minute to answer the sun? Choose the correct answer for each. a) There's a picture opposite me b) My story's infinite" Illustrations in gold ink on black backgrounds surround the words, including a stylized sun in the corner.

Cut out text arranged in a poem. The text was pasted on a piece of graph paper and everything is tinted green. Light green cogs surround the text. It says “Self guided ways to feel a little better. Instant cash! more money, shop around, payday. But you are not a winner, Be realistic - Sorry. Health, money, resources, clarity, winning is limited. Reflect how to win: get out!!!
