I'm happy to share that I will be running a number of zine workshops over the next few months. 😁 I'll provide more details when I have them!

Dang, four different book/zine fairs are coming up in Montreal over the next few months! I just spent an hour filling out applications. This is gonna be a very zine-y autumn! 📚🍂

I'll have you know that I'm spreading my zines all around Europe. My partner says I'm like a proselytizer but without the preachiness. They are not at all religious, I just love sharing zines!

A handful of colourful zines sit atop a green fireplace inside a house with a low ceiling made out of dark wood. There is a white wall behind them. To the left is a red carpet on the floor, striped curtain, and small potted plant.

I was invited to an impromptu, intergenerational queer Dolly Parton memorial listening party last night, and I am so glad that I went. It was beautiful, and it made me appreciate her music and her as a person even more. 💞

Sometimes, people who have read my zines reach out to write me nice messages about them. This is such a kind thing to do, and it makes my work feel that much more meaningful.

Guess who acquired even more zines? As well as a magazine about the politics and complexity of translation (middle). I really need to set aside a day for zine reading...

A magazine, five zines, and a sticker on a wooden floor. The magazine in the centre is called "Spirale: Traduire en contexte." A half-size zine on the left is called "Mask Up We Need You: Palestinian Solidarity, COVID-19, and the Struggle for Liberation." A half-size zine on the right is called "on being the same kind of girl: a trans dyke love story in words and pictures." Three mini zines above are called "DIY Air Purifiers: Build Your Way to Clean Air Today," "I am nonbinary," and "Six souhaits pour 2026." The sticker features the name of zinester "l_hiverne."

The cycle of zines: I dropped off and acquired some zines at two local bookstores today. 😁😁

Three zines on a table with a ray of sunshine streaking across them. On the left is a black zine called "Lisa." In the middle is a hot pink zine called "Créemazine." On the right is a white zine called "A Necessary Evil / Un Mal Nécessaire."

We had people over for French practice and zine-making.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, as a child. Off panel, someone says to her, “Enjoy your youth!”
The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”

We went to Leeds Zine Library, where we found all these amazing treasures. You can go in for browsing or sit at the desk and make a zine ✂️❤️ They accept donations! 📣 Help us get zines into more libraries!

I made a new zine today. #IZM2026

A hand holding a mini zine in front of a blue wall with a light blue-and-yellow pattern on it and some stickers of leaves and the inside of a cut tree trunk. Handwritten text reads, "BEANS FOR ZINES."

The hand holding the zine open in front of the blue wall. There are more nature stickers on it. Handwritten text reads, "A return to making zines. Fluidity between zine researcher and zinester. Neither one nor the other, but both. It is difficult after writing so many essays to just write creatively. My analytical brain is on. Do I need to cite my sources? How do I add the Zotero plugin? I stop and I start. My creativity sputters. I try to let go, but I keep thinking about bloody email! How tragic."

If you want to make little graphics to share on social media, instead of using AI, you could: - Use Canva - Draw comics with stick figures - Create collages - Fingerpaint I can promise that the end result will be more charming and unique than AI, which will help to get your message across better.

I have a brief break. Zine that I did for my immediate neighbors so I can start a conversation about native plants and not nuking the block with pesticides.

Photo of front page of a handmade zine. A cartoon raccoon in a white tank and a heart and arrow tattooed stands on the sidewalk with hand up saying, " Hey neighbors! Have you heard about the insectopocalyse?"

Random page of zine titled, What can we do? that has a beetle saying, " Plant native plants (we need native plants for food). Don't use pesticides ( They kill all bugs!) Leave the leaves ( this is where we live!) There are native plants surrounding the words and leaves.

Just a quick zine I threw together when I had a bit of downtime at Comic City Camp! I’m sad camp week is done, I had such a fun time, but I’m also glad I can get caught up on my sleep lol #zine #tired #makingzines

Happy #IZM2026 international zine month! As #des_revol and #PrairielandDFW remind us: zines are not a crime but they are dangerous—that’s the whole point of literacy. Reading and writing challenge the powers that be. Fight the power—make a zine.

Black and white pattern with typewritten prompts for each day of July. Text reads INTERNATIONAL ZINE MONTH JULY 2026. 31 prompts but very difficult to read.

We've prepared a zine version of "Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers: Anarchists in the Stonewall Uprising," exploring why the rebellion had such an impact and what it can teach rebels today. It's not short—you'll want to read it in print! You can order it here: store.crimethinc.com/products/gay...

My "shelfie" for International Zine Month! Here's my zine collection. This little file organizer is perfect for zines! #IZM2026

A collection of colourful zines of various sizes sitting in a black file organizer on the floor, shot from the front and at an angle. A yellow zine with an illustration of a snail is visible, as is a white zine by Justin Million with a match taped to it.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

I'll be sharing some free zines for International Zine Month. The first is this important and timely zine by Adela Czyzewska about anti-trans legislation in Alberta's education system, which can be read and downloaded here: www.adelaczyzewska.ca/zine-ma-thesis #IZM2026
