hold on i have another one

the WHY FREE GAMES? manifesto

PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that GAMES are a PRIVILEGE of the “GAMER” or an INDUSTRY. GAMES ARE NOT BUSINESS! They do not belong to banks & fancy investors. GAMES ARE PLAY. GAMES are FREE & available to EVERYBODY. GAMES are EVERYWHERE because EVERYBODY can PLAY.

(Images of a dog chasing a ball, people playing Go, a cat and a computer)

PLAY SOOTHES PAIN!
Play wakes up sleepers!
Play nourishes & feeds!
PLAY IS EXPLORATION!
Play is for animals!
Play is for the kitchen!
PLAY IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!
PLAY IS FREE!
GAMES ARE FREE!

HURRAH!

feeling antsy, snippet from blog

Screenshot of a blog post snippet with ant graphics overlaid. It reads: "Ants crawl on top of me. I’ve not seen an ant in ages. The tiny, black ones; ones that taste sweet when they drown in water, or perhaps it was because the water itself was sweet. It doesn’t matter, I drank it anyways. They stray from their path, lost, having to reckon with the fact that I might…swipe them off without even looking. Right now, I feel lonely."

This tool is so useful for homemade zines! Check out Zine Arranger by Nash High, just drop your pdf and it will arrange the pages for you, letting you choose the size of your zine! nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger I've tested it and works perfectly!

Just my first-ever #zine this morning: "Things to Send to Faraway Friends"! Going to mail a few of these to my long-distance friends and place other copies inside the "take a zine" box in front of Arts at the Armory in #Somerville ✨

Cover: A desk covered with objects and a window looking out at a sunrise. The text reads "Things to Send to Faraway Friends: An indie zine made in Somerville, MA."

Page 2: Various objects are illustrated under the headings "Letterboxd Reviews," "I miss you!" "Recommendations," and "Plans for the Future."

Page 2: Various objects are illustrated under the headers "'This Made Me Think of You' Photos'," "Requests for Help," "International Treats," and "Postcards & Stickers."

Back Page: In the middle of the page reads "5 copies of this zine were printed and hand-assembled on 5/3/2025. You're holding one of them! - Julia." At the bottom of the page reads "View my art and games! www.romanhyacinths.com"

You should check out Goblin mail on itch. @evlynmoreau.bsky.social (art), @hojesofia.bsky.social (writing) and I (layout/graphic design) put a lot of love and gremlins into it!

A photo of the goblin mail zine. It's cover shows multiple goblins with packages and letters, some wear armor and some have backpacks. The background is teal.

A black and white picture of the interior of the goblin mail zine, describing the first break room and a room full to the top with letters. A drawing of two goblins resting along with a raccoon is on the left.

A black and white picture of the interior of the goblin mail zine, with a table of 36 goblin names and handles. the pages are adorned with drawings of goblins with different outfits and personalities.
