RFK Jr is in town apparently for a press conference with Murkowski & Sullivan tomorrow.

Unrelated but these tiny stickers (made by yours truly) are available for purchase at @thecommonscafe.bsky.social in Wasilla.

Go swing by for a little yummy drink & a couple of unhinged stickers.

Offline accessibility of Zines ensures that information and ideas can reach a wider audience, including those who may not have reliable internet access or prefer to consume content in a physical format.

The untraceability of zines offers an added layer of security and protection for those creating and sharing potentially sensitive information. Bypassing control of governments, corporations, and powerful entities, zines can help foster grassroots movements with/o fear of censorship or interference.

Zines offer a unique set of advantages that make them a valuable tool for activists, advocates, and socially responsible individuals. From an environmental standpoint, zines are often printed on recycled paper or sustainable materials, making them more eco-friendly compared to digital media.

I'll be at this event from 2-6p with zines & I'll leave a selection of popular items at the MANA table when I dip out.

Do you know what my favorite thing about doing zine distro is?

It's when a group of young punks spot me in the crowd with my wagon'o'zines, exclaim, "You have ZINES?!" & I get to tell them they're free & they can take anything they like.

It's the best.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Honestly, today was incredible. We got to chat with so many people about this project & zines in Anchorage. People filled up bags with zines & brought friends over for them to get some, too. We ran out of several items very quickly & I love that so much! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

This week, WIRED has been helping readers (that’s you!) learn how to win a fight, from Tesla Takedown to out-trolling trolls. We also put together a zine that collects some of the most helpful tidbits in a handy format you can print, fold, and share.

Had a great (if a big damp) day at the Umoja Pride Block Party! Shared a tent w/ Drag For a Cause & my kiddo's art business which was a lot of fun. Yes, it rained the whole time but it didn't keep us from sharing in queer joy & community!

I've got printed copies of this available & I'm distroing at Umoja Pride Block Party tomorrow from 1-4pm.

Now is the time to read up & diversify your tactics. Be prepared with the knowledge before you need it.

We keep us safe.

Got a limited run of stickers just to see how they'd turn out & couldn't be more pleased. This is a great quality sticker.

Thanks for the spot of joy, Brick City Printing. They're not on Bluesky but if you're looking for a union outfit in the US to do some custom printing or merch, look em up.

Black and white A4-shaped poster with the word MAKE in big bold letters at the top and ZINES! in big bold letters at the bottom.

In between, in capital letters is the following text...

NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU.

NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU.

NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT OR VALUABLE.

NO GRANT FUNDING CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM YOUR WORDS.

NO INSTITUTION CAN BAR YOU FROM ENTERING.

NO KNOWLEDGE IS UNAUTHORIZED.

THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MAKE ZINES!

Brought my wagon'o'zines out to Peterson Tower for a sign waving action this afternoon. Had to get a second box due to all of the new stuff I have printed. Folks were in great spirits, handed out a fair amount of lit, & then had to run. But a nice, quick, drop in for us!

Am I being detained?

If no: May I go?
If yes: I want to speak to a lawyer & I invoke my fifth amendment right to remain silent.

Nothing else. Not one word, not one expression.

In Alaska, you are required to provide your name & address if a cop asks for it but not your ID or anything else.

4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us.

These posters are made to be shared!

We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online.

So far, this very new project has focused on bringing zines to actions like protests & rallies. Zines are usually transported in a wagon pulled by yours truly.

I'm considering tabling at a Pride event & bringing some of my favorite queer zines.

Would you come visit & grab some zines?
