@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).

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialI've used BeautifulSoup a few times for personal projects, but hitting the docs again and by chance re-reading the frontmatter led me to discover I hadn't read the obligatory zine, which is excellent (especially cool to read about the anti-arms-trafficking project it links to):

@Erikmitk@mastodon.gamedev.placeMy 8 year old is now making custom notebooks and zines in her shop!
@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.
@kurtsh@mastodon.social @jackie@social.linux.pizzaPosted a new zine about my experience in the #lafires https://jackiejude.me/e-zines/eaton/
also, I added alt text to all my zine posts
@lschiff@mastodon.sdf.orgIt's the end of #BannedBooksWeek, but not the end of book bans. Local involvement with your library is the best way to fight back and defend everyone's access to knowledge. Check out For The People's excellent new Libraries 101 video to learn how!
@jackie@social.linux.pizza @lschiff@mastodon.sdf.orgThis #BannedBooksWeek it is more important than ever to celebrate the freedom to read and step into roles that continue to fight for one of the last free spaces, libraries. We created a Friends of the Library zine so you can learn how! http://www.
@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).
