never let fear stop you from distributing your radical zines because the christian weirdos are already spreading theirs! it is your moral obligation to counter their dirty work with your own dirtier , queerer, anarchist works

i bet u thought i was done but ur WRONG! i love @pretendingpod.bsky.social season2 so bad that i had to make 2 pieces for this . this one is a digital collage !

a digital collage of an assortment of imagery from the podcast that inspired it: a spiral staircase winding endlessly down, a yellow-orange slime mold growing up a branch, a “space needle” type tower in the bottom corner, and several clips of text that read “EXIT” “isn’t this beautiful?” and “closer to heaven”

the worm zone@h0neymush· Jan 23

fanart submission for @pretendingpod.bsky.social contest! poor Beckworth finding himself at the center of the end of the world (maybe? i’ll be so real i still don’t know what’s going on but i love this podcast)

a digital painting of a young pale man with shaggy dirty blond hair, with a dark spiral dominating the canvas and centering around his eye. the spiral is decorated with strange symbols and the background is filled with scrawling notes of “836”

some of u may have heard whispers about me hosting another collab zine and it’s TRUE! inspired by Big Little World but taking a slightly different approach this time, we’re collecting submissions for Overwinter: Surviving the Longest Nights. tell all your friends!!

CALL FOR ART!
Seeking submissions for "Overwinter:
Surviving the Longest Nights" - a collaborative art zine.
Submit your visual art, short essays, prose, poetry, or anything else about making it through the harsh winter months.
DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 5, 2026
GUIDING QUESTIONS:
• What can nature teach us about rest and recovery?
• How do I stay connected to the natural world when it's not as easy to go outside?
• How do I welcome the changing of seasons into my life?
• How do I celebrate surviving another winter?
Questions or concerns? Check out the FAQ or email Elliot at wormzoneprojects@gmail.com
Submit at bit.ly/overwinterzine

FAQ
• What can I submit? → Almost anything related to our theme and questions, as long as you made it! We accept visual art, photography, and short written pieces of any kind. Overwinter does not allow Al-generated work for submission.
• What size/format should I submit? → Portrait-layout pieces will fit the format best, but landscape pieces are allowed as well! Written pieces should be submitted as a formatted pdf, though exact formatting may not be replicated in the final layout.
• Is this a paid opportunity? → Not this time, sorry; this zine is self-published and funded out of the organizer's own pocket.
• Will I get a physical copy? → Yes! Each recipient will receive a physical copy by mail, so long as you are willing to share a mailing address upon submission.
• Will I retain the rights to my work? → Absolutely! Your work still belongs to you, and you are free to publish it outside of the zine. We prefer that you wait to post the submission until after the zine is released to help promote it, but we can't stop you from doing anything.

by popular demand, the christmas worm is also being posted here.

a black velvet worm with a santa hat travels across a starry night sky on a white floating star. the narration reads “here comes the christmas worm! christmas worm! what have you brought us?”

a close up of the black velvet worm rearing up on top of the star, with a glint in its eye, it declares “wrath!”

the narrator continues “christmas worm delivered us a swarm of locusts! thanks, christmas worm!” as the worm flies away on its star, leaving behind a hoard of locusts in its wake
