Approach zine making the same way that you made blog posts 10 years ago. Do you have an opinion that maybe 8 friends and like 3 strangers might be interested in? An answer to a question that's infrequently asked? A rant you could turn into a tight 5? that's zine material right there, buds

Okay it's time for me to rant about the Opportunity Party. Let me be crystal clear: I don't trust them. I think they are wishy-washy, and to be honest I think Qiulae Wong is naive if she things that she can "work with National" and they don't just dogwalk her. This will be a thread (1/x) #nzpol
