"zines have no algorithm" 💘
A screengrab of Tumblr user Gemini Zines's text post reads "i think everyone should make zines. about everything all the time. make a zine about a playlist, about a good sandwich you made, about a cool bug you saw, about a skill you can teach, about a cause you care about. put them everywhere. pin them to community boards and tape them to poles and leave them in cafes and in between library books. i hate how social media has been taken over more than ever now by big greedy corporations and people and has become a mess of churning shit out for the algorithm. zines have no algorithm it is just the love in your heart the passion in your soul whatever your pencil decides to put on paper!! and it's beautiful!! make zines now!"

The poster for International Zine Month 2025 is now live!

Made by zinester @alexwrekk.bsky.social, it features 31 thought starters for making #zines and other zine-related activities – one for each day of July.

Visit her website to access a text version: stolensharpierevolution.org/internationa...
The image shows a zine-style posted made by copy and pasting. In the top left, big letter read INTERNATIONAL ZINE MONTH JULY 2025. Just below, a black block of text reads "31 prompts for 31 days (in no particular order)". In the top right-hand corner is the hashtag #IZM2025. The background is patterned and mixed: small white polka dots on a back background, cut out illustrations of hands and other more zoomed in polka dots. On top of this mish-mash background are thin horizontal strips of paper, each cut out and containing one of 31 suggestions. For the text version of the list, please visit Alex's website. The list is too long to past into this alt text, unfortunately.

I dropped off copies of our anti-ICE zines at a few local shops (like Mission Comics) in S.F. These were created by the Cartoonist Conspiracy of #sanfrancisco.

If you can’t pick up a copy in person, you can print your own here […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
A stack of mini-comics on the checkout counter at Mission Comics. The comics are titled “What not to say to ICE” and “What to say if you meet an ICE agent”. The comics are black and white and hand folded.

We're preparing to publish One Last Farewell, a zine inspired by Basque mythology and poetry with words and design by Amets Albada. Here's a preview. #zines
Title at the top in Basque style font: One Last Farewell. In the centre artwork that depitcs an eguzki lore (a dried silver thistle that never withers away) which represents the sun and protests Basque households from evil spirits. At the bottom a black raven and under it the text: Bele Beltz Press. An stylised image of mountain in gritty, spotty black and white. In the middle a text box with stylised Basque font. The text reads: Emerging from the deep, rising from the underground, the early days under the sun I flew and soared through the wonders of childhood, where boundless dreams and play were the airstream through which I explored the mountains and crannies, the rivers and valleys of the forgotten days of yore.

Just setting up here. But we look forward to finding people and zines to follow. Our interests are in zines that deal with: poetry and photography, human rights and social justice, internationalism and solidarity, punk, alternative and metal. #Zines
