Call for submissions: “F*** the 250th” This fourth of July, the US is ostensibly celebrating its 250th anniversary — except for the whole rapidly-advancing-into-an-increasingly-fascist-state thing. Join with creatives from around the world as we share our original art and/or writing about what…

I made these papercuts to celebrate my little anti-AI zine racking up over 5,000 views since I wrote and published it in October 2024. #zine

As a university librarian, a week doesn’t go by without AI coming up in conversation with coworkers. This past week, I was frustrated to see AI use being accepted in a hobbyist printmaker group. So I made this original linocut print! Check insta for process videos & Juliesetele.com for a free zine

Original linocut portraits of the two cats I lost in 2022: Luxie (ginger) passed away in May and Shmuncle (black) in September. Gone but not forgotten!

I need to experiment a bit to get the background more solidly inked, but I’m very pleased with this first print I pulled from my Christina Hammock Koch linocut portrait block. This involved playing with letting the light in, since in linocut you carve away what you want to remain light.

I'm getting the strangest sense of Deja Vu.

I’m thrilled to announce that my lil zine “My Abortion Journey” has been republished in a peer-reviewed, open access academic journal issue focused on zines! Much thanks to Spencer Keralis and Zach Frazier for making this project happen!! journals.library.unt.edu/index.php/un...

japan hired a wild boi but he’s growing on me

If zines can threaten the state then it says more about the state than anything else.

akb is a creator, a performer, an artist, and i oppose the nwsl's attempt to censor her art

Y’all, I’m so excited to be presenting a free ZINE LUNCH workshop this Friday with @sarabandebooks.bsky.social !! This workshop will explore zines as a tool of resistance. More details at the registration link. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The new Gotham zine is here and it’s totally free! ⚽️🦇🌈 It contains 20 pages full of info about the team, a little commentary, and as many pictures of players’ dogs (or players WITH dogs) as I could find! Go Bats! juliesetele.com/2026/03/10/a... #woso #nwsl #gothamfc

This is a charity raffle. Each print purchased gets entered into a raffle to win this original painting. The Acceptance Of Self - 18x24” acrylic on recycled wood panel. 50% of the sales will be donated to aiding against the fight to keeps ice out of our cities.

This is disappointing. Our team used to care about social justice. I’m eager to read what @838carlisle.bsky.social writes on this.

USWNT, speak tf up! Abolish ICE. They’re murdering people in the streets.

We silently held up ABOLISH ICE signs during the anthem, and security came to our seats and said if we didn't hand them over they would have LASD remove us from the game. I asked if it was the stadium rules, and security said it was the team's decision. So there's that.

The vast majority of the country DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.

I am begging people to please DECENTER Trump voters. It's just not helpful.

I’ve been listening to @guante.info and Big Cats’ song “Bumbling Shithead Fascists” a lot lately, reciting this closing line over and over. Justice for Alex Pretti Justice for Renee Good Justice for Keith Porter Actual justice for all (what an idea) ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE

This is what they train for

The regime will lie. That's what fascist regimes do. It will continue to murder people in different ways. That's also what fascist regimes do. Regular people will continue to refuse and to not cooperate and to fight back in all of the ways we can.

A friendly reminder that the NRA has advocated for gun-based violence against the government for decades. Their entire 2nd Amendment shtick has always been about fending off government tyranny. When they finally get the chance to show convictions, they lick the boot.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

More recent linocuts. Abolish and prosecute ICE. ICE out of Minnesota and everywhere.

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

For the morning crowd: the full notes/slides/report-back from last night’s workshop on how artists can respond to this moment BEYOND our art. Even if you couldn’t make it, there is some really useful, practical stuff in the notes:

ICE is terrorizing our communities, including here in Western New York. A strategy adapted from activists in Chicago is to wear and use whistles to alert the community to the presence of ICE. This free zine provides some guidance for your community support work. juliesetele.com/2026/01/14/b...

Here is the full linocut triptych I created from Audre Lorde’s words in “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” and “A Litany for Survival.” I encourage you to look up the speech and poem, and read them in their entirety. ICE Out for Good Abolish ICE

A couple new linocut prints by me. The Audre Lorde quote is from “A Litany for Survival, no. 42” (I learned this poem had a number attached to it today when I listened to a recording of the author reading it!). The Fanon quote is a paraphrase of something he said in *Black Skin, White Masks*.

As a person who writes about law enforcement violence, I watch these things when I must, but they are terrible and don't honor the victim, who was a person with a full life.

No you don't need to watch a snuff film.

You have to take their money. Period.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

This linocut stamp was inspired by all the lies coming out of the White House about January 6, 2021. We all watched it happen live. It was an insurrection and an attempted coup orchestrated by Trump. Regardless of what this administration claims, those are facts.

A few new linocuts. “They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor” - Tupac Shakur No war but the class war! FDT!

New stamp I carved this morning! @prisonculture.bsky.social

2026 needs to be the year of Fuck You, Make Me as a lifestyle and a philosophy.

REMINDER to send your 2025 original publications of queer speculative short stories (science fiction, fantasy, horror, anything odd and unusual) to We're Here 2025 for consideration - I am the guest editor this year, with the always awesome @cypayseur.bsky.social!! www.neonhemlock.com/were-here

Now that we've reflected on '25, let's start planning how we're going to build on that progress & keep fighting in '26! First, think about what energizes you & how much time you'll expect to have per week or per month...

I learned linocut this year, with my first lesson by @laurachenault.bsky.social in May, and then watching reels by @cactuscloudsart.bsky.social . The pink eraser art challenge in October solidified stamp-carving as my new obsession. I’ve now carved 209 stamps! These are some of my favorites.

Here are the top 20 books I read this year. It’s one book per author, and organized into 4 categories: graphic novels, romance, other fiction, and non-fiction.

Year-end recap video of all the zines I made this year! Check my instagram for a version with a nice Ani DiFranco instrumental in the background. All these zines are available free at juliesetele.com. (Any I forgot to post? Let me know!)

New free, collaborative zine: *The Music That Kept Us Going in 2025* - includes tons of music recommendations and a playlist available in Spotify, YouTube, Qobuz, or Tidal. Thanks to all who contributed! juliesetele.com/2025/12/29/t...

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

I carved this stamp yesterday after singing this song in my head all day! The video is kinda going viral (for me, at least) on instagram and I hope Mamdani sees it! #linocut #diy #stampcarving #mamdani
