GROUNDERSGROUNDERS debut @psguelph x @musagetesf 2026 Rock Paper Scissors 🌀 An extension of our social practices, GROUNDERSGROUNDERS queries how we might bridge the natural world and the technological world: rather than imposing binaries that isolate their interconnectedness with one another, how may we instead, lean into how we mediate across these “worlds”? Together, we gathered flora and debris to make paper that mapped a nearby alleyway, considering alternative cartographies & anti-colonial ways of mapping.  Gloopy! Clumpy! Squishy! 📚TY @thatfemka for your vision for RPS, celebrating the life of the book! 🐛TY @cyborggarbage for dreaming this up together!

Thawing, some things that i saw and did in hibernation

Eternally grateful for how our community showed up for the Dirty Work Studio launch ❤️ The biggest thank you to you all! Incredible that we could share the machine's first jam together ❣️ 💸Was there merch you had your eye on that you didn’t snag? Send us a DM & we can arrange for pickup! 🦦 Stay in touch, link in bio for our mailing list 🖨️ Printing services available February 2026 Thank you @roomservice_tv & Ryan Lanzetta for the tunes, enjoy snippets of the night, shot and edited by Nolan Budzynski

This month at @pinchcabaret you can get a copy of Puddle Pedagogy! This minizine version will guide you through the puddles I’ve met and documented around my neighborhood and the world, plus give you the info needed to explore the puddles in your neighborhoods too. Pinch Cabaret runs on Saturday November 29th at 8pm ! Thank you so much to Pinch for letting me be a part of it and helping make this zine come to life!

Just some bits and pieces and impressions and little pockets of time I want to put here so I don’t forget them or so maybe they exist not just on my phone or so that they maybe become part of the internet soup that holds all our stupid posts

In the end it’s all about the small hours, the little wonders, the people, the people, the amazing people and Tokyo drift.

Puddle Paper Materials: Recycled pulp paper, pandan pulp paper, plants, dirt, moss, agar agar bioplastic coloured with pandan, butterfly pea and spirulina I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with puddles over the last year or so, mostly in mapping them in my neighborhood. I love going for a walk after a storm and seeing what puddles have grown, whether they’re in the same spots as before, what kind of debris is inside of them. When I come across a puddle I take a photo and a six second video. I archive them in a folder, refer back to them and have been trying to figure out further ways to use this information. I have been working with handmade paper for a while now, and I’ve been extremely bioplastic-curious which meant Dinacon was a perfect place to see how I could bring them together. Going into this I was fantasizing about blending the materials in different ways, but didn’t really know what my plan was. I’m pretty happy with the results and I’m looking forward to playing with more ways to blend the materials and use my puddle obsessed for good. Forever thankful for Dinacon for existing and getting to be a part of it. (Fun fact: I got drenched by a wave after taking this photos on the rocks by the ocean!)

Sometimes all you can do is feel so fucking lucky that you get to live a life you’ve always dreamed of with people who make you feel like anything is possible in places that you never thought you’d see.

Another Summit down and my heart feels so full. It’s a pretty amazing thing to be able to ask people to come to a city we picked randomly for two days of open source nonsense and they actually Do show up and bring their weird project to show everyone. This one felt extra special bc I got to meet my online bestie of 15!! Years!! Irl!!! Literally the person who told me to watch Hackers (1995) and warped my brain with it. My job remains one of my favourite things I get to do and it’s even better to get to do it with @leeborg_ who is perhaps one of the greatest people I have ever known and will ever know. And now we are off on the next leg off our open source summer… Edinburgh u were a mystery and a treat and I do not understand your strange winding streets but I loved wandering them!

Lots going on!!!!!! Keeping up as best I can!!!!!!

Angela Zheng’s Rewilding won’t be the only zine featured at Friday’s zine launch at @lastsupperbooks . KW-based zine maker sid drmay will be joining us, tabling with some great photo-forward titles for purchase at the event. Join us! ✨ sid drmay (@cyborggarbage ) is a nonbinary trans queer zinester with a special interest in taking photos of unusual debris on the ground. They are probably in the middle of too many projects right now. You can find them being annoying online most of the time. sid is also the person behind @kwzinetopia —a zine fair and outlet for the zine community in Kitchener Waterloo. #rewilding #siddrmay
