It's that time of year, zine-loving friends!
The time when I pack all of last year's art fair samples, misprinted/folded/cut, or other minor flaw-having zines into discount packs. All perfectly readable, just a bit frayed.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.
This is not new but it is expanding.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

I found reading this essay extremely useful; maybe you will too
I’m sorry but John Berger didn’t write the most harrowing essay about the experience of viewing images of atrocity for you all to act like it’s somehow morally superior to be able to watch the video

something i struggle with is that i want to help people but i can't convince myself out of the house even for a walk. and i believe that asking for / receiving help is as important a piece of the social fabric but my needs are generally met or meetable so i don't ask. so i feel separate from it all.

Gah. Feeling so many things. Trying to be okay. Trying to not just distance myself from the bad things. Trying to avoid the video of a murder. Trying to convince myself to do laundry and maybe make more tea

Actual thought I just had was “I know I’m supposed to be upset about the MN ICE shooting but instead I’m just sad about how this will kill babies; is there something wrong with me” no! It’s all bad/upsetting and why the fuck are we still in offices poking at emails and spreadsheets!
The CDC's new childhood immunization schedule represents one of the most dramatic changes in childhood disease prevention policy in decades.
