almost but not quite

a zine for the different

This isn’t a newsletter.


It’s a handmade love letter turned digital. A dispatch from the edge.

'almost but not quite' is for the ones who don’t fit cleanly.


The neurodivergent. The chronically ill. The gender diverse. The Different.


The ones carrying too much, and still trying to make it through the day without collapsing.

Every new moon (or thereabouts), I’ll email you a link to view or download the latest issue.


A zine filled with real things:

- slow magic and rituals that don’t overwhelm
- sneak peeks of the archetypes who name what the world couldn’t
- fragments from The Outlands
- and random musings

It’s for anyone who’s ever felt almost, but not quite, like they belonged.

Want in?

A collage of hand-made zine elements and art materials arranged on a black background. Torn strips of cream parchment display typed phrases such as “We are The Different” and “The world wasn’t made for us.” A metal ruler and gold pen lie across the page. A small metal dish holds melted sealing wax with a wax seal stamp resting inside. A hand is carefully positioning a strip of words onto a printed image. Nearby are wax seals in burgundy, gold, and bronze, and scraps of text, tape, and paper.
