It’s the most wonderful time of the year. #moror

While zines have been made by folks in an ongoing movement of self-publishing since the late 1970s and are (sub)culturally relevant always, somehow they've been "making a comeback" in the last year or two. 🙄

Academizines journals.library.unt.edu/index.php/un... "This special issue [of Unbound) features contributors from across the disciplines sharing their research and creative scholarship in zine form." featuring zines by lots of my friends and me!

I have a book coming out via @fernpub.bsky.social: The Politics of Lonely: Why Is Friendship So Hard? "Through interviews, research & personal narrative, this book shows how people build tight connections despite living in the austere conditions of colonial capitalism" sheerspite.ca/on-writing-t...

Because dykes love the trans youth and have had about fucking enough of having our names taken in vain by het transphobes.

OMG I found this exact clipart in a trans newsletter recently! No bigger thrill.

Oh, HAY!! It's time for another Zine of the Gay! This week Erica is looking at just a few of the many 8 page mini-zines that we have in the collection. gittings.qzap.org/small-but-mi...

Gonna let you all in on a secret! You probably *do* know someone who makes zines, and if you don't, such people are very easy to meet and even easier to befriend.

so excited for this! “Zines and Literatura de Cordels: Exploring the multi-national history of zines and paradoxes in self-publishing,” facilitated by Tosin Jerugba 📅 March 25, 6pm ET 💲 PWYC 💻 On Zoom with closed captions and ASL interpretation us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

psssttt... my partner-in-crime has a chapter in this... 💜

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

My ZFF's dad passed last week, and never was the phrase "may his memory be for a revolution" more apt.

this line-up is BANGIN'!

Small update to the UK and Ireland zine events calendar: penfightdistro.com/zine-events/ #diyzines

Check out zinemap.com. This international map of zine shops, libraries and events is a stellar resource - lots of community input and some interviews too. Thanks to its creator CJ for telling me about it this morning. Happy to boost this, as it's filled with useful information.

Woke up thinking about this sticker folio from ACT-UP Chicago circa 1990ish. archive.qzap.org/index.php/De... #actup #actupfightback #nowar #fightaids

Happy Sunday! A new Zine of the Gay dropped this morning. Rowan vs The Volcano 🌋 gittings.qzap.org/eruption-imm...

ACT UP & our allies will be marking our 39th anniversary by demanding money for HIV/AIDS and healthcare, not for ICE and warfare. Rally at the NYC AIDS Memorial (located at Greenwich Ave. and 12th St.) at 12 PM on Sat, March 21st. Get ready to be there on time, because we won’t stay there for long!

I'll always have Boo Mania

Lou Sullivan was a visionary gay trans activist, writer, speaker, and organizer who advocated for the recognition of gay trans people.

Today I told fascists to fuck off by teaching teenagers basic zinemaking at the local library

I’m feeling cruddy from a cold. luckily i found a #billybragg live recording from 1988 which will help: archive.org/details/ajc0... #dayslikethis

hey! do you work at a chicago-area business or maybe you make art or style hair or make jewelry (anything at all) and want to donate something to support a local rape crisis center? dm me! i work for one, we're having a big benefit and i'm collecting donations. you can't ever mention my posts lmao.

yesterday my sweeties and ingot to attend our friend Susan Simensky Bietila’s book talk for her new anthology Front Lines. pmpress.org/index.php?l=... If you’re looking for inspiring artistic resistance from over 50 year of activism please pick it up! (also, i’m in it 😳)

fuck yeah! since i started hrt i've talked and written about "transitioning to the middle" and having no destination in my gender journey. it took me decades to get myself to a place where my transness made sense to myself, and longer still to act in my own best interests. so glad i found my way

TLC released their debut album 'Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip' 34 years ago on February 25, 1992 | Listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/TLCtip

🚨🚨Action Alert🚨🚨 Good morning, comrades!  Two versions of a bill headed to Gov. Tony Evers' (D-WI) desk are threatening free speech rights in Wisconsin and quietly conflating anti-Israel speech with antisemitism. 🧵

New Zine of the Gay post!! This week Erica writes about Pathologize This!, the mental health comp zine by Sarah Tea Rex from 2008. gittings.qzap.org/pathologize-...

GenX find of the day - this Rock the Vote ad from 1991. Found in the premiere issue (#0) of Dirt - A Supplement to Sassy at archive.org. I remember this campaign, and cribbed part of it for my first zine, and also detourned the stickers to say Fuck The Vote (bb anarchist even then 😜) #genx

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising. IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar. Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

W00t! It's a new Zine of the Gay! This week Rowan takes a look at Queers, Families, and the Squat Community from 2011 Amsterdam. gittings.qzap.org/queer-family...

The Milwaukee Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are working to support a statewide race for governor after both that chapter and Madison DSA voted to endorse @demsocialists.bsky.social member Francesca Hong in her bid for that office.

#OtD 11 Feb 1916, Lithuanian-born Jewish anarchist Emma Goldman was arrested in New York City on charges of violating the Comstock Act, for distributing information about birth control. We've made available some of her work and merch here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

I fucking hate that I need to post and re-post this at least annually. Every anti-queer + anti-trans politician has blood on their hands.

We're getting ready to have this exact conversation with our writing interns tomorrow. Yes, words have been weaponized against us. Also, those same words have contributed to us finding ourselves and each other and building communities and fighting back, too.

This is one of my favorite queer texts, and the way Molly rendered it is beautiful. Whole text can be found at QZAP here: archive.qzap.org/index.php/De...

If you're near Minneapolis on Saturday, please consider coming out to the Twin Cities Zine Fest, where we'll have 80+ zinesters sharing their #zines & free workshops! tczinefest.org/tczf-2026/ #TCZF2026 If you're elsewhere, please send good vibes, we could use some fun.

So what if all the people learn how to work together and intimidate ICE and protect people going to polling places and then the Dems sweep and THEN we apply those skills to the weak Dems that just got elected to impeach Trump and make them fear us like they should. Ehhhhh???

Who needs lions, tigers, and bears when you've got bags, flags, and merch! Do you have small items related to Southern LGBTQ history that you'd like us to preserve? Check out our website for how to contact us and let's save that history together.

I recommend Acme Records so highly, and it's just a block away from Lion's Tooth Books, so you can stress-purchase books and zines either before or after.

If you're a zine fan who likes to send snail mail, we've got a treat for you 5 zine-themed postcards! We're raising funds for the BIPOC Travel Fund for future Zine Librarians unConference & you can help by ordering a set of 5 zines for just $15 (shipping w/in the U.S. included).

In a time where zines and free press are being challenged daily, we ask for your support! We're celebrating distributing 15,000+ zines over the last 10 years and we want to continue our meaningful work. Any amount helps! www.wizd-az.com/fortheloveof...
