Thrilled to say the Pen Fight website is back after a month of spending many hours doing lots of boring things on it to make it look and work much better for you. Check it out for lots of queer feminist zine goodness penfightdistro.com #diyzines

Filton24: Jury acquits or refuses to convict defendants

Gives me hope for my friend who is one of the other Filton 24. Who is currently being kept in a prison that has no functioning heating or hot water. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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...

I'll be back at Glasgow Zine Fest again this year - always a zine-y highlight

It really worries me how bad people seem to be at spotting even very obvious AI 😬

Getting nostalgic for the days when Pen Fight existed as a real-life shop (even if it did lose me money that year) #diyzines #zines

While my main webstore is offline, I've brought back my etsy store and filled it with zines (and badges): www.etsy.com/shop/penfight (unlike my main website I also ship to Europe through Etsy)

I just listened to this and it was so interesting to hear how someone fell into the right-wing influencer pipeline and how she managed to get out of it.

dont forget to share this zine fair happening 21st Feb in Brixton!

Lithium Blues: a venty perzine about living with bipolar 2 Available to purchase or swap! (See full thread for full zine)

Here's a screenshot of the anarchist bookfairs we know about in 2026 so far. More info anarchistbookfairs.blogspot.com

I love this photo of @wastedinkdistro.bsky.social's free zine area. If you are in Phoenix, you should stop by.

I wrote about how and why to run an in-person zine distro, something I did and enjoyed from about 2012-2016. I recommend it! tbh it's a lot easier and more fun than running a distro via an online store. sheerspite.ca/running-an-i...

Please tell me all the zine distros you know from outside the UK/USA/Australia ‼️

JANUARY 2026's front page - listings for the rest of the month for Punk + Hardcore + D-I-Y + ???? events in London on a PDF - online NOW. Rainham Sheds on the cover. anothersubculture.co.uk/thismonth Zine in print ASAP, with three more pages!!, in the post for subscribers first.

It's that time of year, zine-loving friends! The time when I pack all of last year's art fair samples, misprinted/folded/cut, or other minor flaw-having zines into discount packs. All perfectly readable, just a bit frayed. Want to know when my shop update is live? Join mailchi.mp/20162032d876...

So did 2023 / 2024 really burn people out on running events or what? (this is me updating my public list of UK zine events for the new website)

I'm a broken record but its always a good time to set up a zine/sticker/flyer distro in your town. Find a public spot and talk to your neighbors about what's happening. As everyone grows more isolated into their respective online silos it's vital that we be able to meaningfully speak to one another.

#NiceZines recently asked, "What kinds of zines do you really love?" Mini zines, zines with interesting folds, zines with lots of texture, tactile elements and hidden pockets, per-zines, zines with interesting observations, zines from a marginalised POV... 🥶What types of zines do you love?

Anyone know any UK zine distro other than Vampire Hag and Andromeda? Making an updates to my zine resources page and I'm sure there must be more!

#OtD 2 Jan 2020 a fake protest was held in Antofagasta, Chile, to lead injured street dog, El Vaquita, to a vet. He wouldn't let himself be taken, but as he joined marches, he joined the "protest", which led him to get treatment. Protest dog items here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

reminder that the shop is closing up on Monday

New Year, New Zine! "The Gentle Deadline" is part perzine about how I got my writing mojo back, part guidebook for ADHDers who want to commit to their writing, journaling and personal storytelling practices. I made cute worksheets and everything! wildramppublishing.bigcartel.com/product/the-...

Heads up: I'll be closing the online store for January to give the website a re-vamp. If you'd like anything before my return, get your orders in before January 5th penfightdistro.com

So how's everyone's reading goals for the year looking? I managed to hit mine +1 extra last night after playing some serious catch-up for the last month.

Zine: Labor Will Feed the People

If you work somewhere w/a free public space+printer for work purposes, you can make a mini zine distro! Even just 5 zine titles you periodically replenish stacks of. Search "zine"+topic, or Zine Bakery's catalog has this large subset of free zines: airtable.com/appY7WyBFjSz...

I want indie comics and zines to be trendy at cons so bad! I want artists to feel free to express themselves and connect with other fans with a bunch of cheap stapled photocopies, I want anyone who wants to practice their storytelling to be able to do so without worrying about not selling enough!

I've been working a lot lately now that I finally have a new job. Here's some thoughts about working in a warehouse vs customer service stuff, made from packing materials I borrowed from my workplace~ 🩷 #personalzine #perzine #zines 1/2

Yes. This take is truly important. That’s why indie rock and hip hop, self published books, small press, small town art galleries, open mic, zines and Indy wrestling, web comics and creator owned business are so important.

All years in recent memory have been grievous and alarming, but here's what we did to make 2025 better and build for 2026. A run-down of GFSC's projects, articles, and methods for making technology which can strengthen communities. gfsc.community/geeks-for-so...

Had a couple of days of re-printing zines 📚 and went through a hell of a lot of toner. #diyzines

i am not immune to the lure of a Hot Deal but the fact is, i do not build a huge margin into the prices, and already sell things on sliding scale, so i can't really do sales. however zines remain available for purchase. sheerspite.ca sheerspite.bigcartel.com

last night someone ordered like 90 different zines from me, whoever you are you are keeping me busy today and you have a lot of reading ahead of you 🫡
