I was going through some old files and found this digital collage from a class I took in college. The vibe I was going for was "gender euphoria but make it pulp sci-fi aesthetic"

a collage resembling a pulp sci-fi cover. The text reads "Galaxy Science Fiction, September 1954, 35¢, The Self-Made Man by E.K. Juettner". There's a scientist who has removed one of his breasts to reveal circuitry and machinery underneath. In the background is an anatomical drawing in shades of orange and pink with nerves that look a bit like a tree

I was going to go to bed on time this evening but then suddenly my brain decided I urgently needed to make some scratch paper notebooks out of junk mail envelopes... Now the hyper focus has worn off and I am very tired, thanks brain

(I am very happy about how the notebooks turned out, though)

a makeshift notebook made of cut-up envelopes stapled together at the top, with an abstract collage of blue and grey patterned paper on the front

A thing I've been doing lately is making collage poems from random Wikipedia pages. It's a pretty fun exercise

https://emmajuettner.com/found-wikipoetry/

The following poem is styled like a Wikipedia page, with linked footnotes after each line: Duplication World governments jointly publicize the duplication of over two hundred human beings Volleyball events were contested at Kansas State an Estonian politician required to face a by-election Notable people in the family criticized the law enforcement agencies for the security lapse a village forms a relatively isolated enclave which denounced the dehumanizing environment of the modern metropolis

I probably won't manage to make anything new for this year but I will take the opportunity to share the collage poem I made last year, since it is still one of my favorite things I've made

New , about climate change and planting seeds.

This is the second poem I've made by collaging together bits of text from an old econ workbook. (I'm planning to put them all together in a zine when I've completed a few more.)

The first poem, A Bad Dream, can be found here: https://emmajuettner.com/posts/a-bad-dream/
