FANZINES

The photo shows a repurposed analog vending machine at the San Francisco Zine Fest in 2015. On the glass of the vending machine the words ‘The Wonder Emporium’ are hand-painted in white lettering. Inside the vending machine or numerous small plastic capsules; one half of each capsule is red and the other is transparent (one can see they contain white paper material). The vending machine’s base is painted bright red and has been stabilised with some small wood panels at the bottom. As well as bearing hand-painted representations of the capsules, other lettering painted onto the glass of the vending machine says ‘50 cents’ (the price of each capsule), as well as "zines, fortunes, toys, drawings, poems, more". The vending machine stands next to a table full of scenes. The table has a blue tablecloth, which is patterned with white illustrated food items, and a person sits behind the table; they are speaking to someone who looks to be purchasing zines.

'The Wonder Emporium' was a repurposed analogue vending machine I spotted at the 2015 San Francisco Zine Fest.

It capsules contained zines, fortunes, toys, drawings, poems or more (and one cost 50 cents) 💕

I wonder who it belonged to and whether it's still operational?

That's very true! The alt text is feeling a little better now :)

The alt text is feeling sad after being publicly shamed for its mistake :(

A meme of Ned Stark (played by Sean Bean) from Game of Thrones and white Impact-lettered writing overlaid on the image stating "ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY LEAVE THE ZINE FAIR EMPTY HANDED".

A truth universally acknowledged...

I guess I never posted here, but I had the honour of creating the poster and assets for Festival of the Photocopier this year!

I will be tabling there this Saturday with plenty of Zines and comics

Shots of the #zine featured in Michael Lucid's short documentary, 'Dirty Girls'.

Watch it for free on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3Mx...

I joined such an activity (organised in Osaka) once and it was so much fun to contribute and receive my own as well as the other zines! There is space for 26 more participants at the moment. Please share - it would be brilliant to see some of you being involved, too!

Solidarity and gratitude, Jenna!
I hope you’re okay. x

It's significant and helping!

PS: Can I use this image to post about your zines on Tumblr, pls?

@wormmo.de Hi there - can I repost one of your photos of the anti-ICE zines on my Tumblr, please?

Solidarity with people being targeted by Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the United States.

A photo of six booklets for the zine, each a different colour (pink, orange, green, yellow, blue white). The title reads in all caps: DON’T JUST DO NOTHING TO COUNTER FACISM. The cover decoration is a sentence across the entire front and reads in all caps: YES, YOU. YES, NOW / 20 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO COUNTER FACISM. End ID.

’Don’t Just Do Nothing: 20 Things You Can Do to Counter Fascism’ is a #zine by Jewish anarchists on how people can organise and act in this changing world.

In 2016, I visited Tokyo and attended the Zinester Afternoon zine club in early July... 🇯🇵

It was an informal, monthly gathering organised by local zinester @momononaka.bsky.social at Cafe Lavanderia in Shinjuku.

I highly recommend following Momo on here – she's at the heart of Japan's zine scene ✂️

A photo of two black and white photocopied zines; one is titled 'transfem DIY HRT' with an illustration of a bat, and the other 'transmasc DIY HRT' with an illustration of an ostrich. Both have the subtitle "no one can stop you. End description.

'Transfem DIY HRT' & 'Transmasc DIY HRT' are a pair of #zines aimed at teaching #trans people how to safely self-administer DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Both zines are free to download from Little Mouse: www.littlemouse.fun/zines.html

The ZineArranger by Nash High Zine layout tool for PDFs

There is a lot of woe in the world, but here is one thing I'm excited about:

nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger This zine layout tool is a dream I never knew I had. You can upload a pdf of your, e.g., 56-page 1/4-sized zine in page order (1-56), and in seconds get back a 14-page doc you can print from.

a round yellow sticker that says " I traded zines today"

I made these 💫 reward stickers 💫 for giving out to people when they trade zines with me at fairs! I don't experience zine trades anywhere near as much as I used to so I'll be doing some things to encourage it a bit more #DIYzines
