✂️ Now is the time to join or start a zine club ✂️

Zine clubs are an informal gathering of people to read, make, swap or share #zines – they're inclusive, regular (weekly, monthly, etc) and fun.

They take place in public spaces, like libraries, cafes or even parks.

Why not start one in your area? ✏️

I met Johnny Walsh at the 2019 Staten Island Zine Fest in New York City – the mind behind ‘Infocult’, a #zine about strange information.

He was an incredibly fascinating person to talk to and he was very generous with his time.

Wherever he is these days, I hope he’s well and safe.

First published in 1970 by Glass Mountain Pamphlets, then again in 1973 by The Feminist Press, its latest incarnation comes courtesy of Quiver Distro, 2009.

new zine fest alert! we are helping put on a small fest centering global social movements and people of color. If you can attend in person, we'll have food, discussion, workshop, and vendors.

Folding up these little zines to hand out in my neighborhood. Thanks @meganpiont.bsky.social for making these. ICE has been kidnapping my neighbors in North Portland.

How to report ICE and keep our neighbors safe

The interesting thing in leafing through these old ufo zines (from left to right, Scandinavian, Polish, British) is finding this wide variety of very strange, very puzzling and downright weird ufo contact cases.

I made these 💫 reward stickers 💫 for giving out to people when they trade zines with me at fairs! I don't experience zine trades anywhere near as much as I used to so I'll be doing some things to encourage it a bit more #DIYzines
