New zine out from Pen Fight Press! A zine from an Anonymous author on being a Spanko - how it relates to their queerness, and the Spanko scene. 🖐️🍑 penfightdistro.com/shop/spanko-... #diyzines

I've just added so many new zines I'm not sure where to even start with telling you about them all, but Mika's wonderful titles seem like a good set to begin with. @mikagratzke.bsky.social #diyzines

Fiction: read and unread, authors clumped together. Non-fiction by subject, craft books with all my craft materials, plus random piles of more unread books in my bedroom. My zines are completely unorganised at the moment, but they'll be organised by subject eventually.

Enough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?

Back in stock - A is for Autistic by Andrew Coltrin, an A-Z of various terms related to Autism as he understands and experiences them – from alexithymia to literalism to visual thinking and many more in between. penfightdistro.com/shop/a-is-fo...

Well well well between this and the call to proscribe Bash Back we really are through the looking glass where property damage is now “terrorist violence“, PA proscription really did open the door to the authoritarianism knocking

NeverFadingWood 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇱🇪🇺@avantgardening.pl · last wk.

This is absolutely beyond the pale. Criminal damage is *not* fucking terrorism. And changing the crime *after* the jury has delivered its verdict is fucking kangaroo court stuff. Prosecutors call for Barclays protesters to be sentenced under UK terror laws giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

The inability hide suggested posts + the increase in adverts recently has made Instagram basically unusable now right. I just want to see photos from my friends and projects I'm actually interested in.

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

Manchester Zine Club will be returning from the end of August in a new venue on a now-monthly basis :)))) - more info soon!

This kind of thing at Substack (including their Nazi problem and trans hate problem) are why my newsletter is at Ghost.org and always has been. Andrew Tate is a spectacularly vile human being accused of numerous violent crimes against women and hugely corrosive for young male minds.

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

So what food are people eating while it is once again too warm to have the oven/hob on?

i wish everything looked like 1980s computer magazines

Why do all those AI event posters look the same? Like if they have been fed every bit of human creativity they could get their hands on - why isn't there at least more variety in the slop?

as someone with a book in preorder, people have been very kindly asking me what the best way to preorder it is, so i wrote about the different ways you can preorder a book and what their various advantages are! sheerspite.ca/how-and-why-...

how (and why) should I preorder an author's book? - sheer spite press

As someone presently in the weird liminal phase of having a book that is announced and up for preorder, but not out for another 2 months, I have been...

Levenshulme market and so far I am NOT melting

I stayed up till 5am last night because it was the only time it was cool enough to pack up stock for Levy market. My brain is melting today. Pray that people still come out and buy things because if I'm out in the heat tomorrow for no reason I may cry

I'm now stocking some @genderfail.bsky.social titles 🥰 I am too warm to write anything further. Enjoy! penfightdistro.com/brand/publis...

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Does this news outrage you? Does it make you want to make zines? Do you want to know how, even without a computer? Here's an easy step-by-step guide by @thorazos.bsky.social. Print out the pages below or purchase copies cheap at the link. www.etsy.com/listing/6936...

They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

one last reminder that my shop is on sale for pride month!!
