POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
The lead up to Christmas can feel a bit . . . weird. It’s cold, it’s dark, and not everyone is feeling festive! Join us for a relaxed zine-making workshop where we’ll create pages for a collaborative ‘Not so Festive’ zine. We’ll explore a mix of writing, drawing and collage exercises, with plenty of space to make something your own Perhaps you have a favourite recipe to share with a fellow non-festive person, an alternative tradition you’d like to suggest, or simply something that makes this time of year feel a little more bearable. Whatever it is, we’d love to have you join us! Suitable for makers of all experience levels – no previous zine-making experience needed and all materials provided. Saturday 28th November 1pm – 4pm RivelinCo Pay what you can, minimum £3.00 Ages 16+ Book via the link in bio or at our website What's On page Rosie Sergent is an artist and producer based in Sheffield. She founded Drawn Poorly, a zine project focused on experiences of illness, disability and neurodivergence. She is a Board Member for Glasgow Zine Library, loves DIY punk music, cat and chihuahuas. You can follow her @drawnpoorlyzine To keep our community safe, please don’t attend this workshop if you are feeling unwell. You can get in touch with us for a refund at hello@rivelinco.org. Our full access statement is coming soon. Our high street space has step-free access, but there is a raised lip across the entrance door. There are two all gender toilets and one of them is accessible. We will have Smart Air air purifiers running and a portable hearing loop is available.

Dill is a beloved disability justice activist, poet, painter, writer and dedicated community organiser from Leeds. Since 2018 they have been living with Severe ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) a chronic condition that causes life-limiting fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and affects their ability to communicate. Severe M.E causes Dill to have very complex needs. In 2024, the community successfully raised money for Dill to access specialist healthcare and private advocacy services. This enabled Dill’s access to life saving expertise at extremely critical points in their health journey for the last 2 years, such as during their traumatic, 13 month hospital admission. With the help of their mother, advocates, and the community, Dill was discharged from hospital in September 2025. Sadly, after discharge, Dill’s health once again dangerously deteriorated. They continue to use their extremely limited energy to advocate for themselves, and try to manage their healthcare needs with support from their friends. They have not had consistent access to appropriate, professional healthcare advocacy, which has strained their health immensely. This means Dill is forced to push past their safe energy limits to manage essential services on their own. Therefore, in recent months, Dill used the remainder of the funds raised in 2024 to access professional advocate support again. Professional advocacy has made some small improvements to Dill’s health possible & access to this is vital to sustain and build upon what we have all waited so long for, which is why we are fundraising now. The success of this fundraiser will ensure Dill continues to have access to healthcare specialists and advocacy through a professional service, with more expertise and capacity than Dill’s friends are able to offer. Ensuring they continue to have consistent support will help them to rest and pace, as well as focus on their rehabilitation & psychological goals. Ultimately, we hope that continued access to advocacy will stabilise Dill’s health & ensure their care continues to safely meet their needs. Every donation brings Dill one step closer to rehabilitation & a better quality of life. ❤️ ID below Slide 1: Help Dill access lifesaving advocacy Dill has Severe M.E and very complex health needs. They require a professional advocate with the expertise and capacity to support them with: • Communicating their views and advocating for them • Understanding and remembering information • Accessing and navigating essential health, social care and support services Donate to protect Dill’s health so they can continue making progress.

“Online is not a traditional resting space. But our bodies are not traditional either.” In the latest On Rest Substack, Drawn Poorly founder Rosie Sergent (@Drawnpoorlyzine) explores the importance of online spaces and virtual friendships in the crip community. Feeling very grateful to be connected with you all amongst the hellscape. Available here and via the link in bio. Founded in 2017 by Rosie Sergent, Drawn Poorly is a collaborative DIY zine project exploring chronic illness, neurodivergence, disability, and mental health. Created from a want for connection amongst ill and disabled communities, it has grown into a space where we tell our stories in our own words - not as they’re told about us. Image One: A zine front cover titled “Collective Rest” with black and white striped borders. The cover features a bed with a blue blanket and red throw, a pixelated grey cat (Pusheen), a pink pixel heart, and star stickers. Image Two: A two-page spread of the zine with striped borders. The left page has the Resting Up Collective logo and text “Love and thanks to Resting Up Collective who commissioned this zine. @RestingUpCollective_” The right page has a large plant image behind the text. The text reads “Our collective rest. Exists in people virtually met, connection rooted in the core.” Image Three: A two-page spread with striped borders. The left page has two planet images and star stickers. The text reads “A shared nod that can’t be seen across cities, countries, the world.” The right page has text reading “But you can really, really, really feel it,” over a red heart, next to a seated astronaut collage. Image Four: A two-page spread of the zine with striped borders. The left page has a classic meme of Robert Redford nodding in agreement. The text reads “It might be in the GIF you’ve just been sent.” The right page has an image of two deer ornaments in front of a red flower. The text reads “Or the mutual outbreath at not having to explain yourselves.” Image Five: A two-page spread of the zine with striped borders. The left page has an image of a silver flip phone with a heart on the screen and star stickers; text reads “Maybe you find it, ch
