reading this and crying because it was written in 1977 and weβre still struggling and still hated. and yet weβre also still here, still loving and helping each other.

Photo of the zine held open to its first page, titled "la langue francaise n'est pas neutre"
For anyone who struggles with gender-neutral language while speaking French, this zine will help!

I'm gonna share this zine I made a few years ago about why it's always worth it to be in the struggle, even when we're losing. This zine still hasn't found its readers (nor has the book that supercedes it), so I'd be happy to hear if anyone reads and appreciates!

Noooo, I'm so sad:(:(:( Gotta start another trek right away to cope
About to finish DS9. TIME TO CRY.
You ever hear a song for the first time and something about it kind of irks you but then you listen again and eventually find yourself totally obsessed with it?
Daylight savings? More like daylight stolefrommysleeplastnightandnowimgrumpyings
J'ai dΓ©couvert que j'aimais beaucoup regarder des documentaires animaliers en franΓ§ais. C'est relaxant et cool.
I really want to check out Starfleet Academy because everyone is talking about it but also I'm finishing DS9 and want to watch Voyager and Lower Decks and haven't quite finished SNW yet... there's just so much Trek! (not a complaint)
Also, I have something of a backlog of zines to release when I have the time. More coming soon!!
Oh hey so I finished writing a zine today. It's another gender zine! Revisiting the subject after six years.
Iβm so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
60 years of Star Trek has unequivocally told us that all women in space are hot.
Not only is this woman one of the most talented graphic novelists in the world, she's also pretty damn wise.
I actually love the Vic Fontaine episodes so much. It's weird but it works. #DS9

I am going to share some zine examples for those who would like a little more guidance or inspiration. π§΅ 1/9
FYI, your zine will not be perfect. It will have flaws. You may feel self-conscious about it. Thatβs okay! Zines are meant to be imperfect, rough, and unedited. If it would make you feel more comfortable sharing, you can use a pseudonym for your zine or simply leave its authorship anonymous. 13/16
You can also photocopy your zine and distribute print copies. You can give your zine to friends and family, donate it to a library or resource centre, or leave it in a coffee shop or at a bus stop. The idea is to get your work out there both online and offline! 11/16

You know it's not a battle without smoke billowing from somewhere on the Bridge and Sparks flying and an officer or two getting knocked out of their chair by the console exploding
I took so many photos today for a photo zine I'm making about gender and othering.
I am about to watch the DS9 crew play baseball, and I have never been more excited to watch sports in my life
Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.
Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

You can do something! You can put your thoughts and feelings down somewhere. You can create something tangible and put it out into the world. Your voice can have an impact. Your zine could inform and educate. It could change someoneβs mind. It could tell someone theyβre not alone. 20/22
Black text on a paper background that says, "Are you doomscrolling and feeling overwhelmed and helpless in the face of escalating crises and terrible news? Do you want to act but feel frozen and donβt know where to start? Do you want to do something active, constructive, and empowering? Make a zine!". A simple graphic of an open, empty book is in the bottom right corner. The handle @MAKEAZINE.BSKY.SOCIAL is in the bottom centre in small grey text.

Zines have their roots in several different social movements and subcultures. They are inherently political and are often used to resist the status quo. 17/22
