Are the kids these days still doing zines? Like actual physical ones, not online? I used to love contributing to those, and reading them, back in the 90s.
I make zines. Usually I just reprint (literally with a printer. Yea it’s super fucking annoying to use even when it works right) stuff that the PSL sends me, that stuff is all really solid, usually just history told in short, concise paragraphs.
I am working on my own comics and my own lil character guys that I plan on making real zines with. I found an anti flock paper that had One of my work friends’ art on it credited to her and I told her I found it and she was like “??? That’s cool tho”. So yeah we’re out here making shit you just gotta find it. Free little libraries are perfect, but nothing beats handing them out to people directly.
Zines have just kind of become printed memes, but Food Not Bombs still keeps them at their distro tables. One group I read about was actually printing them on napkin paper and wrapping homebaked bread in them. Which is just genius, imho.

Yeah, one of the protestors got like 50 years in prison for transporting them a couple months back :(

Zine culture is about as active as it’s ever been in the subcultures it has always been a part of (punk, diy, activism, etc).
