Note from shop owner {♥ ♥ ♥ Please be mindful and read the full listing descriptions and Shop Announcement before placing an order or sending a message. Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥}

CLOSED ON MONDAY, APRIL 15th, 2024 WHILE WE STRIKE FOR GAZA. I'll return on the 16th, and then I'll be closing again on the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 23rd to focus on writing, and to take a much-needed break from screen use.

Please note that due to cognitive dysfunction and sensory sensitivity exacerbated by developing long-COVID while already living with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and cervical spondylotic myelopathy, I may not be able to read individual messages or respond right away, but I'm here and doing my best.

Please be patient and do not push me toward deadlines, or extra labour. I'm disabled, chronically ill, mostly housebound, and still trying to survive the ongoing pandemic. When I say SNAIL MAIL, I mean it. Thank you.

My shop is closed on the days when we #StrikeForGaza.

Maranda Elizabeth is a writer, zinester, high school dropout, cane-user, sex worker, daydreamer, flâneux, and recovering alcoholic with thirteen years sober. They're also an identical twin, a witch, and a white agender sorta-femme. Maranda has published three novels, Ragdoll House (2013), We Are the Weirdos (2017), and Oliver A Lover All Over (2019), a non-fiction anthology of the first decade of their zines, Telegram: A Collection of 27 Issues (2012), of which they've now written forty-two issues, and the zines Little Acorns (a 24-hour zine) and Edith (fiction).

For two years, they wrote a column on LittleRedTarot.com, See the Cripple Dance, on re-imagining Tarot through disability and madness, and poverty and anti-capitalism. Currently, they offer Tarot readings for misfits and outcasts.

For many years previous, they've written online and in-print about recovery with borderline personality disorder, complex-trauma, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue, with an emphasis on politicizing illness and recovery, and understanding illness (mental, physical, and spiritual) as a debilitating and deadly consequence of capitalism, as well as a form of resistance and protest. They've also spent their entire adulthood writing about writing, creativity and friendship; disability and accessibility; witchcraft and Tarot; self-care, support, and $upport; queer mad poor crip lineages; and surviving social assistance and poverty.

Maranda grew up in Lindsay, Ontario (Ojibway, Chippewa, and Anishinabek land), and currently resides in Toronto, Ontario (traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and the Métis). Their work explores themes of loneliness, abandonment and disposability; synchronicity, joy, meaning-making, and memory; and the process of making a home of place and body.

Libra Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Gemini Rising. Venus in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Aquarius Midheaven, and Chiron Retrograde in Gemini.

♥ Maranda Elizabeth offers Tarot readings for weirdos, queerdos, misfits, outcasts, & crazy people! {Tarot readings are offered sporadically by chance, luck, & mood! So you might notice those listings appear & disappear & reappear. If they're not here when you are, be sure to check again another day!} ♥

♥ Due to my complex chronic conditions and a not-quite-accessible city, I cannot go to the post office everyday, nor even every week sometimes. Zines, books, and other tangible crip arts will be mailed as soon as possible. Tarot readings will be sent via email within seven days of purchase. Please be patient or go away. As always, gratitude & appreciation for supporting my writing and my weirdnesses, and understanding the unpredictable nature of disability & craziness. ♥
