You were quick to find those! I got as far as putting two of these in an envelope & addressing it to you on Monday, but haven't got as far as writing a thank you for the Last Rites patch that arrived here & going to the post office! The patch was a lovely surprise btw. Thank you!

NewBridge Books (Newcastle UK) is on the lookout for new stock with a focus on building their zine collection. They are particularly interested in finding zines that cover housing rights, grassroots organising, community building, the environment, and solidarity. #ZineSky

Maybe if it goes to a second print run. Think I missed a trick by only doing an 'I Blame ITV'. A few people have pointed out there should've been a BBC varient too.

The Ex-Zine Editor @bubblegumzines.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Might've *slightly* underestimated how fast these would go on merch... I've kept a few copies back for the pub afterwards though. Find me later if you missed out at the merch.
