I'm taking the first steps to expand the distro. Do you want your zines in the Scope Creep distro? Send 'em in during October and November! Details are here: distro.scopecreeppress.com/pages/submit...

Scope Creep's first event: Princeton Zine Fest, June 20th. Super excited about this. (Even though it means there will be Preparation and Driving and Peopling.) #PtonZF princetonlibrary.org/brochures/pr...

I will say one thing for AI slop; it has radically increased my appreciation of shitty art. Like maybe it lacks creativity, maybe the execution is unskilled, maybe the motivation for making it was commercial, but damned if a human being didn't think of and create it with their own mind and body.

They're not going to run out of the absolute worst people with the absolute worst politics to replace the previous absolute worst person with. The barrel is bottomless, we have to eliminate the position, the agency, and unbuild the whole institution.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

I've been working on a network of webrings to connect people's hobby sites! I have multiple lines that I visualize as subway lines, so I call it the Smallweb Subway! Every station is someone's website. You can explore it here: gusbus.space/smallweb-sub... #smallweb #webdev #webring

I bought a cheap, lightweight guillotine cutter the other day and it brings me joy, mingled with a frisson of fear. The heavier-duty ones were always in classrooms, and we were always given dire warnings about amputation risk. It's not the most dangerous object in the house, but it *feels* like it.

This past week, I did an absolutely terrible job of reviewing a master and learned that color copies on cardstock do not fold as well as expected. Fortunately, these errors were for the same (very tiny) job, thus only rising to the level of "slight inconvenience."

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

I swung by a few Little Free Libraries and left some zines.

I still have not gotten shit sufficiently together to set up online sales for physical zines, but you can get yourself pay-what-you-want downloads of a minizine how-to, microfiction, and zine template.

Sigh. Right after releasing a zine that mentions SFWA as a good source of information for writers, the organization embraced LLM works for the Nebula Awards. They quickly backtracked, but still... SFWA does have some good resources online, but at this point maybe think twice about joining.

Trying to guess if the Calibri hate is down to the word "Roman" or accessibility. Calibri hadn't been on my radar as particularly accessible, beyond being a sans serif font (so, like, presumptively better than TNR, but not, say, a Comic Sans).

And it is slightly ironic to promote itch at the same time as working on a FOSS itch replacement. (Okay, that's a bit of a simplification of conjured.ink. But still.)

Went to the Philly Zine Fest. Bought some stuff, added some zines to the freebie bin, gave some copies to a couple zine libraries. Great day to be walking around the city.

Thank you everyone who's contributed! We're now over 50% to our monthly funding goal, which will allow us to be a pretty reliably sustainable volunteer-run organization that is still able to spend money on e.g. legal, hardware, hosting, etc, costs as we need in order to fulfill our mission!
