I made a zine for Geek Weekly Fanzines’ “USA at 250” minizine project! I was assigned the year 1864, and I opted to highlight some historical facts/events that I was not familiar with when I began this project. I hope you learn something, too!

I learned about a new (to me) awful human being: Scott Yenor works for the Heritage Foundation, so ‘nuff said, I suppose… but I’ll go on: Yenor described “independent women” as “medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome” in 2021 (according to Snopes).

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Nichole Hiltz The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people. A building. @treewarrior.bsky.... maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Analog collage! Made from old Martha Stewart magazines, plus a lil Vogue. The original text asked whether your thyroid is making you depressed, but I look around right now and don’t see a lot that makes me NOT feel depressed, so I wanted to play on that.

A light brown horse with dark brown spots is collaged atop a bed of red flowers in the shape of human lips and white flowers in the background, with the text “could your goose bumps be making you depressed?”

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

For the second year in a row, I’ve compiled an antifascist, anti-imperialist, anti-racist, globally collaborative zine to commemorate the Fourth of July (US Independence Day). This year is considered a special one because it’s the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence. …

Zine cover of “Fuck the 250th” plus some extra text. Background is an upside down Washington Monument during a fireworks show. Extra text reads “free collaborative zine at juliesetele.com” and “hot off the press!”Zine cover of “Fuck the 250th” plus some extra text. Background is an upside down Washington Monument during a fireworks show. Extra text reads “contributions from around the world,” “free! (Unlike this country),” and “proudly antifascist.”

Last chance to submit to *F*** the 250th”. Deadline is July 1 (any time zone). Open to the whole world! This is an anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-fascist zine. If the government is going after antifascists, that’s because the government is fascist. Submit to fthefourthzine@gmail.com.
