I'll have you know that I'm spreading my zines all around Europe. My partner says I'm like a proselytizer but without the preachiness. They are not at all religious, I just love sharing zines!

I was invited to an impromptu, intergenerational queer Dolly Parton memorial listening party last night, and I am so glad that I went. It was beautiful, and it made me appreciate her music and her as a person even more. 💞

Sometimes, people who have read my zines reach out to write me nice messages about them. This is such a kind thing to do, and it makes my work feel that much more meaningful.

Guess who acquired even more zines? As well as a magazine about the politics and complexity of translation (middle). I really need to set aside a day for zine reading...

A magazine, five zines, and a sticker on a wooden floor. The magazine in the centre is called "Spirale: Traduire en contexte." A half-size zine on the left is called "Mask Up We Need You: Palestinian Solidarity, COVID-19, and the Struggle for Liberation." A half-size zine on the right is called "on being the same kind of girl: a trans dyke love story in words and pictures." Three mini zines above are called "DIY Air Purifiers: Build Your Way to Clean Air Today," "I am nonbinary," and "Six souhaits pour 2026." The sticker features the name of zinester "l_hiverne."

The cycle of zines: I dropped off and acquired some zines at two local bookstores today. 😁😁

Three zines on a table with a ray of sunshine streaking across them. On the left is a black zine called "Lisa." In the middle is a hot pink zine called "Créemazine." On the right is a white zine called "A Necessary Evil / Un Mal Nécessaire."

If you want to make little graphics to share on social media, instead of using AI, you could: - Use Canva - Draw comics with stick figures - Create collages - Fingerpaint I can promise that the end result will be more charming and unique than AI, which will help to get your message across better.

I have a brief break. Zine that I did for my immediate neighbors so I can start a conversation about native plants and not nuking the block with pesticides.

Photo of front page of a handmade zine. A cartoon raccoon in a white tank and a heart and arrow tattooed stands on the sidewalk with hand up saying, " Hey neighbors! Have you heard about the insectopocalyse?"

Random page of zine titled, What can we do? that has a beetle saying, " Plant native plants (we need native plants for food). Don't use pesticides ( They kill all bugs!) Leave the leaves ( this is where we live!) There are native plants surrounding the words and leaves.

Happy #IZM2026 international zine month! As #des_revol and #PrairielandDFW remind us: zines are not a crime but they are dangerous—that’s the whole point of literacy. Reading and writing challenge the powers that be. Fight the power—make a zine.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

When I have the time, I'd love to start a regular zine drop-in group where folks can show up, eat snacks, and make zines (and other crafts) together. It'd be a chill, low-key space where we can learn from and teach each other. #IZM2026

My zine origin story is that I was documenting my transition several years ago using different mediums and needed a way to pull the pieces of my story together into a coherent narrative. The zine form offered me the perfect way to do this! I have loved making zines ever since. #IZM2026

“Always created independently, either hastily or laboriously, and usually artistically and politically, zines cover topical issues in the community and usually use a cut-and-paste method that portrays an iconic punk aesthetic” (Hemphill & Leskowitz, 2012, p. 72).

Two common themes: 1. People faking being local, or stealing local content. 2. Then pushing it into Canadian political conversations to make money. That is not civil debate. It's monetized manipulation.
