This is a complicated place to be. We have never & will never pay for ads/subscriptions on X. We've set up a BlueSky ( https://t.co/rBVF0jiVqm) and are hoping to slowly move over there. In solidarity, the Make Space team x [2/2]

The zine comes out of a 4-month user-led creative arts programme. Sessions were for anyone with experience of self-harm, we made things, laughed, raged, and invented new worlds. The zine captures some of that magic; it is sad, silly, tender, and joyful. 2/3

The Arts & Ourselves zine is here! 🌟 The zine is a 36-page reflection on self-harm in its many forms. With writing, memes, and poetry - it is about our own lives, on our own terms. View the zine [and plain-text version] at: https://t.co/ofmnP4cEnW 1/3

At Make Space we are having conversations about what it means to be on X. We have built a small but precious community here & we do not want to lose touch, so for now, we are staying. [1/2]

The line between lived experience involvement and just straight up exploitation is pretty damn thin @makespace_co
