Every zine fest is a miracle and a labour of love, but here are some things that I have experienced that make for a zine fair that is especially nice to table at:

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

From Sotomayor's dissent:
Lifting the District Court’s injunction will unleash untold harm, delaying or denying educational opportunities and leaving students to suffer from discrimination, sexual assault, and other civil rights violations without the federal resources Congress intended. The majority apparently deems it more important to free the Government from paying employees it had no right to fire than to avert these very real harms while the litigation continues. Equity does not support such an inequitable result. * * * The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them. That basic rule undergirds our Constitution’s separation of powers. Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief. Because I cannot condone such abuse of our equitable authority, I respectfully dissent.

Black and white A4-shaped poster with the word MAKE in big bold letters at the top and ZINES! in big bold letters at the bottom. In between, in capital letters is the following text... NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE. NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS. NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING. NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED. THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE ZINES!

A little preemptive reminder that we don’t need to talk shit about fat people just because Trump said something ridiculous.

A David Lynch quote for every creative person who may need it today.

It resonated with me when I came across it reading it in Lynch on Lynch.
" No, it wasn't. What makes you worry about things like that is when you start thinking about what certain people might say about it later. Because you're not really sure what they might say. And if you start worrying, you could make some really strange decisions based upon that worry. The work isn't talking to you any more; this worry is talking to you. And you become paralysed. So the trick is: you've got to forget making a hero or a fool of yourself and just try to get into that world. and if you can do that, and you feel good about the decisions that you make, then you can weather whatever good or bad storm comes along. " - David Lynch in 'Lynch on Lynch'.

Back cover and the full thing.

Decorative paper was from @laurachenault.bsky.social ‘s stash, I think.

Thanks, as well, to @alexandragallant.com, Jordan Roth, and Laura Chenault for their fabulous workshops!

Hi y'all! I'd appreciate any help with this at all. 💞 #helpsky #mutualaid #BIPOCMA #TBNC
Background is separated into 5 abstractly shaped spaces, filled with solid colors of coral, orange and mauve, a black and white photo of a Black woman with shaved head and large earrings in the upper left corner and a photo of a pair of hands holding a house on lower right. Text reads: Happy Birthday, care for this Black Queer Disabled survivor on her birth month -$1322- Due 5/2 I'm healing my body and mind as a survivor of assaults, human trafficking and injury.
