I like the 8-page folded mini zine concept. I use the free version of the Affinity design / DTP software. So I made 8-page mini zine templates (for both A4 and US Letter) for Affinity, and also found links to a bunch of useful resources. buxtonthered.com/projects/8pmz/ #zine #affinity #dtp
Two copies of the same "mini zine template" small folded document sit on a full size desktop computer keyboard. One shows the front cover, the other the back cover.

Front cover text: Mini Zine Template. A4, for printers that can do 5mm margin. Each mini page is A7. Front Cover.

Back cover text: Back Cover. Affinity template constructed by Buxton The Red, based on the common "8 page mini zine" idea. Web: BuxtonTheRed.com. No credit needed when using this template for your projects.

This phenomenon is key to much of the transphobic press, though the individuals in question may vary: It’s a feedback loop of successively amplified lies
The juxtaposition of her reports and the anti-trans media circuit creates a feedback loop, where far-right newsrooms and groups publish anti-trans propaganda, receive validation from Alsalem, and then spit it back out as if the source were the United Nations itself.

I created this parody edit of the #Stonewall logo to express my frustration with that UK "LGBT+" organisation's recent decisions, actions, and general failure to be seen to be doing anything good for my trans friends. I waive all my rights in this image. Vector available on request. #lgbtq #queer
A parody of Stonewall's logo. The word "Stonewall", with the letter T rendered in a dashed outline to indicate its absence. A sad-face in the gap in the letter O. The double-L forms a negative-space arrow pointing downwards.

I figured out what I needed to make to replace the zip pull on my hoodie. It's a tiny piece of hope, something I can hold on to. When I lift up my hope it brings me comfort, even if that is just to zip up my jacket.
A small piece of white plastic hangs from a zip pull on a black jacket. The word "hope" is written vertically in purple with a green border.
