I fucking hate that I need to post and re-post this at least annually.

Every anti-queer + anti-trans politician has blood on their hands.

We're getting ready to have this exact conversation with our writing interns tomorrow.

Yes, words have been weaponized against us. Also, those same words have contributed to us finding ourselves and each other and building communities and fighting back, too.
All of our labels have some amount of historical blood on them. If queer folks self-censored every descriptive term for ourselves that others have ever used as an insult or slur against us, we’d have no vocabulary to express our inner lives at all.

Which is exactly what bigots and fascists want.

This is one of my favorite queer texts, and the way Molly rendered it is beautiful.

So what if all the people learn how to work together and intimidate ICE and protect people going to polling places and then the Dems sweep and THEN we apply those skills to the weak Dems that just got elected to impeach Trump and make them fear us like they should. Ehhhhh???

Who needs lions, tigers, and bears when you've got bags, flags, and merch! Do you have small items related to Southern LGBTQ history that you'd like us to preserve? Check out our website for how to contact us and let's save that history together.

I recommend Acme Records so highly, and it's just a block away from Lion's Tooth Books, so you can stress-purchase books and zines either before or after.

In a time where zines and free press are being challenged daily, we ask for your support! We're celebrating distributing 15,000+ zines over the last 10 years and we want to continue our meaningful work.

if an up-and-coming multi-modal media company releases a 16 page, 64mb PDF with misaligned margins on the cover, some pages full bleed and some not for download and distro, is it a 'zine?

The new Zine of the Gay post is up!

We've got a cohort of students who will be updating the QZAP blog this semester. They'll be exploring zines from our collections and writing about them every week or so. To start us off, Erica is taking on Some Boys Bleed

With the orange demogorgon at his most radioactive ever electorally and endorsing Tom Tiffany for governor, this is the absolute best timing Wisconsin has to elect a democratic socialist.

Really fascinating feature in Zine Guide #5 (2001) about the survey results from zine makers on zine production & circulation. Lots of interesting info here, especially the results of "Where do you copy your zine?" archive.org/details/zine...

I'm 95% the way there with this project. Unfortunately it's too cold today to spike this into our front lawn, but give it a couple of weeks.

Also, the graphic files in a variety of sizes + wheatpaste instructions are available here for your fun use:

🧹 Doing some housecleaning!

There are a bunch of zines that I only have 1 or 2 copies left of, & I’m moving soon, so I'm offering an extremely limited run of surprise boxes with as many zines as I can fit into a flat-rate shipping box (~25-30! kind of a bonkers deal!)
