I'm knee deep in finishing up my solo exhibition called Vibrant Fibers which celebrates quilts and zines and coincides with Wasted Inks's 10-year anniversary! It's been wonderful to see it all come together and I can't wait to display the artworks for others to see!

Was on a @zinelibraries.bsky.social Unconference panel about Accessibility and Zines this afternoon, which could honestly be a whole conference in itself! Good times.

A zine is not defined by its content but by its mode of production and distribution outside the normal channels of capitalist publishing. The photocopy *is* the zine.

Today, the WIZD team is in full motion distributing zines in three ways:
1. Tabling zines at the Portland Zine Symposium 🎉
2. Tabling zines at the Grand Ave Fest in Phx and hosting an 8hr zine make-and-take station
3. And we're open all day at our shop too!
I love days like this! Go team go!

It's not even a full week after PZF and I worked 60+ hours this week and I'm hosting events and family this weekend.
I'm here, but not HERE.
I'll be back to volunteering for WIZD in a few more days. Please approach with support and hold your asks for additional labor until next week. ✨🙌🏼💀

In the Face of A.I., Can Zines Save Queer Stories?
From A.I.-generated censorship to disappearing web pages, queer communities are using D.I.Y. zines to ensure their stories are not lost.

The pre-fest gallery night for Phoenix Zine Fest was such a balm. My friends keep me alive with their art and their care. I love everyone so much.

A very involved zine vendor said their last restock package was RTS and I said well we moved almost 8 months ago, have you seen our new address? And they hadn't. :(
Soooo here's another announcement: WE'VE MOVED! WE HAVE A NEW DELIVERY ADDRESS! Please use it for mail!

I had an incredible time at Phoenix Zine Fest this weekend! It was a blast to vend yesterday and volunteer today. I've manage to add 40 new zines to my collection, most are trades, and can't wait to look through them this week. 🥰

Day 2 of zine fest is a wrap with over 400 attendees, all the vendors showed, and our chair and table rental showed up perfectly!
Huge shout outs to the community! Including organizing, volunteer, intern and community security teams, the vendors, our venue hosts, sponsors, and friends!

Also if I seem weird or aloof at my zine fest table, I'm not trying to be a bitch, I just have really bad auditory processing and I cannot hear you, even after you kindly repeat yourself. 😬

Day 1 of zine fest was absolutely amazing with over 450 visitors, all the vendors showing up, and no major issues!
I didn't take a single photo so I'll be sure to do that today!
Day 2 starts in a few hours and goes from 11-4p!

Question for event coordinators and organizers: when you say your thingy is a "safe space," what do you mean?
