The next milestone we hope to hit is $15,000 for the Black Zine Fair: gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

People are skeptical about the decline in numbers of people who read books in the U.S. but you only need to talk with high schoolers to see that it's not overblown. It's part of the reason that the revival of zines is important IMO because they make reading and writing less daunting.

I LOVE this illustration by @phineas.bsky.social! He also has it on a T-shirt in his shop. I’m a woman’s small, btw.

Does anyone have $20 to get this started? bsky.app/profile/did:...

Small comforts: rosemary salt sourdough bagels.

Going to start teaching my Visible Mending as a Political Act course tomorrow. (I’ll bring along some zines to fold if I have time while they are working.)

The best feeling is when a high schooler somehow finds one of my zines online and reaches out via email to share that they've been inspired to create their own and if I would want to receive a hard copy. The answer is always:

We're only $150 away from $10,000 which puts us at 50% of what we need to raise for the Black Zine Fair. Donations are tax deductible. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

Huge rally and march today in NYC against the war on Venezuela. Get ready for a big thread of photos. Rally started in Times Square. Maybe 1000 people. Organizers from Peoples Forum NYC, Nodutol, the NYCPYM, Black Alliance for Peace and more spoke.

Do people know that there are almost 1 million Muslims in NYC? Where are the stories about how Muslims are feeling about the first Muslim Mayor in NYC?

It's 2026 & @nycplan.org wants you to join us in getting every City Council Member on the record re our demand to increase & stabilize public library funding. We could use your help in two ways: 1.

Is there a compendium of all of Octavia Butler’s work? If not, just a stack of her books.

I mean… WOW!

“Expansively and audaciously!”

OMG, Bernie is wearing the same coat!

YAY!!

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

*Stefon from SNL voice* New York's hottest club is Inauguration. Located in an abandoned subway station on the lower upper eastern west side, this place has everything: transit nerds, a street food vendor, radioactive rats, and what's that over there? An NYT reporter completely missing the point

Anyone on here knowledgeable about Canva's Affinity and why it keeps chopping the right hand page text right margin for my zine layouts? It is driving me crazy. @meganpiont.bsky.social can you pass it on? Thanks!

Once again I would like to say, yes, I am open to joining the Mamdani Administration’s NYC Department of Illustration. Will there be a Zine Czar? Who can say.

And as every li'l internet fun-factoid-inclined Poindexter like myself already knows: the basis for that ruling is the infamous "monkey selfie" case, Naruto v. Slater. Naruto being the macaque. Only human-made work is eligible for copyright protection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_...

As a reminder: Even if I didn't consider using genAI environmentally destructive, creatively bankrupt, and morally indefensible (which I do), courts ruled it is *not subject to copyright.* If someone, theoretically, published a genAI title, and it popped off? There is no defending ownership of it.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

I really like this mean girl shit. Make them sad about their life choices:

we're close to $6000.

Life isn't being kind rn, but I'm still out here doing the work. Support if you can. #MutualAid

Welp. Managed to leave my house for the first time in 6 days and take a little walk in the snow. Getting over a nasty cold.

If you can make it to Bluestockings Books before 5 pm today, there are so many good and cheap books available!

Does someone have an extra metrocard? 👇

Bumping this up!

My thoughts exactly.

Does anyone have a link to a good interview in which Timothy Snyder talks about unpredictability and freedom?

@melondc.bsky.social collects food and $ for a few families with kids that she knows. Her friend Unique is a hard working mother of 3 who was recently laid off and she could use some mutual aid. If you have some cash looking for a good cause, please send some over to Melisa via Venmo: @cutejewelry

Someone referred to the zines using this word, and I had to look it up:

This is legit funny.
