@jake4480@c.imWe did a zine! @… had this awesome idea and pulled a bunch of us together. We present to you Swampgas #1 for winter 2025 - just in time for the solstice. It's got metal, fantasy, art, photography, poetry, stories, plus music reviews and previews.

@hex@kolektiva.socialNow that I'm almost 40 pages in, I've started to accept that I am, in fact, in the process of writing a book and not a zine.

@nelson@tech.lgbtRecently reminded of Straight to Hell, the 1975—20?? zine featuring porny gay stories that were often real life narratives. Transgressive and important documentation. The Internet Archive has PDF scans of 5 edited book collections!
Harvard man, Harvard man,

sure as shit quit the Quad
for him, scratch every dance
from my card for him; kiss
sunshine goodbye to open
his fly; trade clothes
for sheets, miss other meets
for him, for him
@jackie@social.linux.pizzathe Eaton and #lafires were a year ago, here's a zine about my experience https://jackiejude.me/e-zines/eaton/
@bourgwick@heads.socialhappily escaping into this 1980 issue of the UK zine dark star i scored from a street vendor last week. heavy old wave vibes but also a fun intersection of way serious british deadheads with alan moore (who contributes a curt vile page) & the soft boys (with a rapturous underwater moonlight review).

Every zine I’ve bought from @… has been well worth the money at full price, check out the sale
@hex@kolektiva.socialI've been working on a bit of a larger project. It is still very much a work in progress. It's an attempt to combine blog and mastodon posts with other things I've written in the past, along with some original analysis, into a zine. I'm probably about 2/3 of the way through.
It's primarily focused on political theory and critique, which, I think, deviates a bit from how a lot of other folks view the world. It's pretty explicitly anarchist, though I don't think I've actually put the word "anarchism" or referenced the ideology anywhere so explicitly.
I'd love feedback (especially around editing and flow) if anyone would be willing to put eyes on it and tell me what they think:

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialSo... My college has a zine section in the library, which is already amazing, but this week I decided to check some of them out, and there are a few in a section for fictional and/or true stories. The one I grabbed was "Funwater Awesome" by Zach Mandeville, which turned out to be, indeed, awesome. It contains both real and fictional accounts of small-town Washington state, with both the mysteries of death and the happiness of small absurdities being big themes. Seems like there's at least a #2 and a #3 that were published, so I'll think about trying to get my hands on them. Maybe as instructed I'll mail $3 to Zach's address and see if he's still got any copies kicking around (or if he even still lives there since #1 was published in 2006).
