If anyone has started making zines in the last few years and would like to talk about why they started making them, please message me here. I really want to get a perspective on why people have started recently. If you could signal boost this too, this would be great.

Potato Brains Distro is run by buds Heather + Becky (that's us) We've been friends for over 10 years, and have recently started vending at art + zine fairs around the GTA. We're migrating ourselves here, since Meta is iffy. Prepare for a fun review of everything we've been doing for a year!
