Please hire me as a postdoc. I have many useful skills (programming, electronics, digital fabrication, writing) that can be applied to many areas (feminist STS, disability studies, media studies,HCI, outer space) with many possible outputs (research creation, publications, products). I am also nice.

I have officially closed my online store. It's a little sad and doesn't mean I'll stop making zines. But I can't afford to ship and print anymore, it's all so laborious and expensive. If you want a copy of my zines, you'll have to find me in the world!

I did the thing! Get your ORA zines only at the Rochester Maker Faire! @openresin.org @makerfaireroc.bsky.social #3DPrinting #3DPrinter #ResinPrinting #OpenSource #Zine
A stack of one-sheet eight-page folded zines, fanned out across a black table cloth.

The front page of the zine has the Open Resin Alliance logo on it in blue, and the title "Open Source Resin Printing"

The ORA logo is the open source hardware logo, attached by supports to a simplified representation of a resin printing build plate. Uncured resin drips down from the logo, giving it a goopy look

This is a flat and flexible poster type antenna unlike others that are sold.
