Issue #19 is stalled for the weekend as the eic’s writing program hosts the lovely poet Angela Ball AND finishes uploading all the submission received for the BOUDIN chapbook contest. But it’s coming! Thanks for your patience and for understanding that most of us are doing this work for zero bucks.

Finally, the Other Worlds issue of BOUDIN is up at thereview.mcneese.edu/otherworlds-.... As associate editor, I've been slammed with the Bob Butler chapbook contest, but my friends on the masthead did some good work here. Proud to be a part of this team!

it seems like all the badge-making machines are either awful or hundreds of dollars. Stickers it is!

@delicatezine.bsky.social Sep 28, 2026, 5:01 AM

I (Dusti) do that on others’ profiles AND also will forget if I am on my zine’s profile (like now) and just start replying like I am…myself🙃

ALSO: recommended badge-/pin-making machines? The best one can get for $50 or less?

@delicatezine.bsky.social Sep 26, 2026, 7:51 PM

Anyone here ever order stickers of their designs from Canva? I’m curious about the quality.
