Zines from Gaza is a volunteer-led organization. We can always use more volunteers: editors, designers, translators, people who can print and mail zines, and other kind folks who want to help the writers of Gaza.
Writers in Gaza publish zines through volunteer-led Coastal Lines Press I heard they were competing over who could destroy more. I wish they had left our half-standing house. Did they count it as one, or was it just stones for them? It had my memories and it was the witness that I had been there.
Our housemate and I finished decorating for Halloween. They did an awesome job lettering the sign! Also, if you wander past, their story is No.10 on the Riverwest Ghost Walk this year. 💀🎃 #nowar #halloween #mke #milwaukee
here's a good thing to do next sunday: protest a bunch of out-of-town anti-abortion morons
I've been dealing with book bannings for over half a decade now, but this one is hitting me hard. I think it's the combination of blatant discrimination, dishonesty, and the fact that it's in my own neck of the woods. theauthorvillage.substack.com/p/banned-by-...
this pin fell off my swim bag on Thursday and as i shoved it in my pocket it got me thinking about being an anti-war activist for 40+ years. this particular pin has been moving from garment to bag and back since 1988. A Donnelly/Colt product. IYKYK.
"A zine for homo dykes and punks and their friends." When Tom Jennings started Homocore in 1989, he put an ad in the much larger Maximum RocknRoll in hopes of reaching readers interested in a queer punk zine: archive.org/details/mrr_...
Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

I spent an afternoon with Loyd Powell and Robert Conn, who run the Heart of Leather Foundation in Houston. Their dream is to open a museum of LGBTQ history. Until then, they have over 35,000 artifacts sitting in storage, and they let me see them: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
I got a rare look at Houston's amazing gay history—in a storage unit
"It needs a home of its own and a museum that belongs to the community."

@chrisqzap.bsky.social and I noted that this week is the 25th anniversary of Queeruption 3, which took place in SF/East Bay Oct 4-8, 2001. We were part of the org collective, and out of our experiences and connections, QZAP was born in Nov 2003. Here are some flyers from Q3:

A lot of writers, readers, booksellers, etc. on the website are talking about how book bans have a disproportionate impact on living BIPOC/queer/trans authors, and it's true. But a lot of people don't know where to find those books. That's why, this year, I'm going to make a thread for you!
This tastes like giving head in the back room of a Yankee Candle Workshop 😬😵💫

When I was publishing Mutate (1999-2008) I released it as a free zine, and asked that if folks ordered it from me via mail or from my web site that they send 3 stamps for it It was 2 stamps to mail, and i'd use the 3rd to send copies to folks for review or as contributor copies, zine trades, etc.
Here's something nice: stayed at work late for a class on zines. Found EVEN MORE Barbies. One of the students has a group chat with siblings and stepdad called "we hate Morrissey" lol. I got to explain how you could trade postage stamps for zines instead of cash.
I saw that UWM is hiring a Public Services Librarian to work in the American Geographic Society Library on our campus. It's a really cool space and collection! Milwaukee is neat! www.higheredjobs.com/admin/detail... #librarians #libraryjobs #glamjobs
