a whole new world on the world wide web
welcome to tigerzine ♡ settle in, get cozy, stay awhile, & take a peek at my inside thoughts, music tidbits, life musings, DJ diaries, and all kinds of well-written yap
substackians, it’s me. tigermilk. or LT. or Lauren. or Tuss. or Lo. (a deep cut tbh.)
i’d like to introduce you to this new method of self expression that i’m trying out. the algorithms and instagram as a whole are just absolutely not cutting it for me anymore. at this point, my IG is primarily a portfolio piece of my DJ skills & offerings. (and, of course, chosen snapshots of my charming personality and fabulous delicious life, duh.) i’m proud of what’s there, but as a creative person, i need to expand in a bigger, freer place. i need to say more. i need to let my voice stretch its muscles. i need to…PLAY!
and thus was born tigerzine.
my DJing has been the dominant medium of my creativity since 2018. all the while, though, my words, my writing, my voice has gotten sidelined because DJing for me was waaay more marketable, collectively enjoyable, and easily palatable. (and let’s be honest…it’s been fun as fuck. it’s the coolest job ever. i still can’t believe i get to do it.) but i am a woman of multitudes. i’m a people person through and through. i love food, flavors, and frisson. i love eye contact, sensuality, nature, language, rhythm, hands, and laughter for laughter’s sake. i want to live my life in a constant pursuit of honoring every single one of the versions of myself and my curiosities as they unfurl right in front of me.
so, now, i return to my words. i return to myself. i return to regrow.
here, expect anything and everything from me:
bite-size playlists and noteworthy songs in my rotation
DJ flyers, gigs, and mixes in more details
salon-style thinkpieces (btw we’re bringing back salon culture in 2026)
visual diary posts
food things, dishes, recipes perhaps
audio clips
introspective moments and feeeeelings
literally whatever i wanna say/write/share
tigerzine is my digital sanctuary. as one of my favorite artists and visionaries Kari Faux wrote on her own substack, “this space is where i not only give myself permission to expand but to be seen trying.”
thanks for being here while i try. <3
