Writing, conversations, paper zines, diary comics, podcast episodes, videos.

About

  • Choosing creativity, exploring life through expressing it.

  • Watching and adoring silly tv and making tributes to it.

  • Making playlists that feel like mixtapes, kneeling in front of the boombox vibes.

  • Being an elder millennial, feeling like a loser.

  • Being an evolving human person, feeling powerful and thinking thank god I’m not back there again.

  • Not taking practice too seriously but also extremely seriously like the most serious thing of all actually

All this stuff is by me, Lindsey Markel.

In a past life I had an MFA and published kind of a lot of short stories and personal narratives online.

Now I’m officially forty years old and just having fun making stuff without really caring what it means! That’s the vibe get with it!

Is this free?

I will always mostly post things that are free.

Paid subscribers can access more stuff. Subscriber threads, behind-the-scenes downloads, audio content, whatever I feel like sharing with a smaller group.

Sometimes I’ll get inspired to make videos and share them, too. Your mileage may vary on vlogging type stuff, but I’m funny if you’re into it, unless you find me annoying, in which case WOW you’re sexist.

I also make paper zines. I do not like to keep them alive forever, so they’re only available for a limited time. Probably subscribers of all type will get some kind of discount when I have zines or other stuff for sale outside of the newsletter.

If you want to subscribe and can’t because of the cost, please email me and I’ll hook you up, no problem whatsoever.

What if I want to support you but I hate subscribing to things?

Cool, that’s very nice!!! Please share it instead with a friend who has lots of money and also send them my bikini pics.
