We never built the disaster prep zine, unfortunately. We did build a wildfire and smoke prep zine though, which was cool.

If anyone *does* want to boost a good disaster prep zine, boost it here. I'd love to have some stuff to share with people.

Oh, here it is (July 2018). It's nice that this report back didn't include any names or initials so I didn't need to sanitize it:
Meeting Notes:
Table-top exercise scenario topic was state and far-right repression.
Responses:
Strong networks require redundancy, so no one person is a social connection, skills, or resource gatekeeper. These people are often targeted by the state, and if they get burned out and leave, it also weakens and jeoprodizes groups.
Ways to strengthen our networks:
Mentoring/sharing responsibility. Creating a culture of mentorship and support so new people learn skills, take on responsibilities, and are introduced to other folks. Reducing burden on a few key people too.
Chaos Monkey exercise: ask central people to step back from communications/organizing to see what happens.
Regular check-ins! & Delegates check-in with new members they sign up
Ask well connected folks to introduce people to build social redundancy.
Gaming (D&D, board games, etc) committee could support a more fun, and socially robust network.
Practical safety tool:
Burner phone. Not everyone needs one, but good to have access to.
TO DO LIST:
Make regular announcements at each meeting for people to check-in with folks they know (especially those they haven’t heard from in awhile!)
Start google doc for disaster preparedness zine
Why you should prepare (ideological argument)
What people should have (the basics)
How to prepare
Frame as questions, so people can find the answer that best suits themselves.
Such as “what are you preparing for?”
Where do you spend most of your time? (home? Office? car?)
Make it as easy as possible for folks to get the basics (list locations for supplies, etc.)

I just attended a really amazing virtual workshop on #zine making for the web by Cree Renee (https://wholeheartednwholeso.me/) and Neta Bomani (

#ZineMap is an international map connecting zinesters, shops, libraries, and events. https://zinemap.com/

ZineMap - Drop Your Zines, Find Your People
Explore a global map of the zine universe, track your zines, and discover new places to share your work.

@… do you have that "pro-littering" zine you shared at some point handy? Community cleanup coming up and i need extra grounding to try to radicalize (if possible?) the event during the planning or just share the zines at it 😂

Washington state is having a zine contest, which is all well and good, except for some reason it’s divided into age groups, your zines must “not contain any offensive content”, it’s sponsored by the Secretary of State, and there’s a winner for each age groups and requirements on how many pages your zine should have and shit. they’re fucking ZINES. this is like the OPPOSITE of what you’re supposed to do. the WHOLE FUCKING POINT is that they’re UNREGULATED

I don't like posting my art on Instagram anymore so here's a fediverse exclusive™️ picture of #pomni from #tadc abstracting in both normal and Jackie Zine style

I still had more to say about the whole #cultpunk thing, so here's an expanded essay. I feel like it should probably be a Zine, if anyone has any thoughts on publishing it.
