On a pink speckled background, the text โZines and Literatura de Cordels / Exploring the multi-national history of zines and paradoxes in self-publishing / with Tosin Jerugbaโ appears in black font, along with the workshop details in the caption above. In the bottom right corner, a person with dark brown skin and short springy hair holds a neon green zine, with photos of a few other colorful zines on the left.
In a pink rectangle, on a pink speckled background, the workshop description in the caption above appears, with a smattering of colourful zines below, including one titled โLesbian Love bomber,โ and another titled โColour Theory in Yoruba.โ
so excited for this!

Clever little budget-priced CPRG just left early access with a good launch discount, too.
A weird swampy fantasy setting, semi-real-time combat ala Vagrant Story and a cool claymation-esque art style. Also hugely undersold so far.
Go check it out, RPG folks.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.
The cover image for it sucks to be us, which depicts a person in a mask looking down towards the right. They have black cropped asymmetrical hair and are wearing suspenders. The background is a light sepia with a block to the left in a darker brown tone. Negative space in the form of the title has been cut out of the block, positioned on its side.

The cover of the zine "If You Don't Like The Game, Change The Rules: Alternative Modes of Videogame Production", by Marie Leblanc Flanagan. Behind the zine are a bunch of little creatures with speech bubbles saying things like "union?", "co-op", "so tired" and "four-day work week", from the back cover of the zine, along with a speech bubble that says "we're world designers, why can't we design a world we'd want to live in?"
new in disto! "If You Don't Like The Game, Change The Rules: Alternative Modes of Videogame Production", by Marie Leblanc Flanagan, explores video game labour practices through the story of three friends who decide to start a worker co-op together.

picture of a hand-sized zine, notably of a page illustration a fat figure with long hair, large breasts and belly, and only one visible eye, staring out, standing knee-deep in the pool beneath a sheet of flowing water. two fairy-like sprites float around the figure, with others in the water, as wet and spray are everywhere. the figure's arms are upraised, cutting into the water flow from above, and her hands cast long black shadows in the break.
this month's zine from @wbmc666.bsky.social was a treat.
@godaughtr.bsky.social is an astounding artist, wow.
