The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to β€œshut the fuck up.”

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text β€œPROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, β€œA brief collection of tips from around the internet.”

On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title β€œWhat to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use.

On the right is β€œWhat to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with β€œDIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.

A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out πŸ‘€βš–οΈ

Don't steal. This happens when some new artist thinks they found something so obscure no one will notice. NOTHING is obscure on the Internet. Your ADs may not know the source material but SOMEONE will. You not only destroy your career but hurt your coworkers and damage the brand entrusted to you. 😑

#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! What a good day to buy books and comics by trans creators, what do you think?

I'll be sharing books/comics and links to buy them throughout the day, maybe links to shops as well. Feel free to share yours too!

Cis allies, here's a super simple way to support trans people - and you don't even have to talk to anyone on the phone!

Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.

Two depictions of the same character; on the left, a more realistic, orange iguana-like Dragonborn blood hunter scratching at her face. Frizzilei wears a thick gray undersuit with blue-navy leather armor on top of it, also carrying a Roman glass vase with water and a speaker attachment, much like an old-timey phone. On the right is a simplified, high-color rendition of the same character posed like the Sonic Adventure advertisement.
