So what food are people eating while it is once again too warm to have the oven/hob on?

i wish everything looked like 1980s computer magazines

Why do all those AI event posters look the same? Like if they have been fed every bit of human creativity they could get their hands on - why isn't there at least more variety in the slop?

as someone with a book in preorder, people have been very kindly asking me what the best way to preorder it is, so i wrote about the different ways you can preorder a book and what their various advantages are! sheerspite.ca/how-and-why-...

so it's basically pointless if you're tiny business or sole trader / selling low-cost items to sell to the EU now huh.

Levenshulme market and so far I am NOT melting

I stayed up till 5am last night because it was the only time it was cool enough to pack up stock for Levy market. My brain is melting today. Pray that people still come out and buy things because if I'm out in the heat tomorrow for no reason I may cry

📢 New zine announcement: “Zines Are Back! : The Perennial Reemergence of the Zine Scene” is a collection of news headlines featuring all the cliché “zines aren’t dead” stories that you’ve grown accustomed to (or resentful of). violetbfox.info/zines-are-ba... #zines

I'm now stocking some @genderfail.bsky.social titles 🥰 I am too warm to write anything further. Enjoy! penfightdistro.com/brand/publis...

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Does this news outrage you? Does it make you want to make zines? Do you want to know how, even without a computer? Here's an easy step-by-step guide by @thorazos.bsky.social. Print out the pages below or purchase copies cheap at the link. www.etsy.com/listing/6936...

one last reminder that my shop is on sale for pride month!!

A low-effort 'poster' (because it's too damn hot to work on anything else) to let you all know I'll be at Levenshulme market this Saturday. It's been a while, but looking forward to being back. Hope to see some familiar faces 💖

My webstore is back online and accepting orders! And I added a search function to the mobile version! hurray! penfightdistro.com get yer zines and books here!

examples of what the FBI included as evidence of "Antifa terrorism" in the Prairieland case: -Narcan spray -Anarchist tattoos -a highlighted copy of Emergent Strategy -a zine made of a 2019 review of Hereditary and Midsommar from @reproutopia.bsky.social -First Aid Kits -seeds for garden vegetables

the DOJ's counterterrorism messaging named "Antifa", "Anarchists" and "pro-trans extremists" as major threats. nearly a third of the 22 Prairieland defendants are trans. Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, sentenced to 50 yrs each, have been held in men's prisons, even denied hormones in the last year.

hello everyone i am working on a big piece for guardian about the CURRENT STATE OF MUSIC ZINES!!!! i have many already but i want to get as many as poss from FAR AND WIDE in uk so pls either fill out the form here or email me directly (email on my website in bio) www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

We, the Free Des Support Committee, remain steadfastly by Des’s side. We’ve been there from the beginning, & we’re not going anywhere, until he & the other Prairieland defendants go free. Zines are not a crime. Solidarity is not a crime. Free Des Revol. Free them all. freedes.net @free.des.revol

been cooking up some buuuuullshit lately #whoelsecanrelate

The USA has criminalised antifascism, sentencing queer anarchist activists to decades (& in one case a CENTURY) in prison for self-defence, and carrying anti-ICE zines. The UK's use of terror laws puts us on the same track. Resistance may be punished, but we will resist nonetheless. xoxo BASH BACK

thank you to past me, who put all the ice packs we own in the freezer at some point. sticking one in front of my fan is blissful

Hey so you ever go in intentionally trying to make something fucked up looking and then accidentally fuck it up more but it works because the joke just keep building? Anyway here's the cross stitch I did. #art #crossstitch #crossstitching

Judge Johnson has decided that Filton Four barrister Rajiv Menon KC has a case to answer for alleged contempt of court and has referred it to a senior judge to find a High Court judge to preside. Rajiv faces a criminal trial for telling a jury about a plaque outside the Old Bailey.

I'm back after a week off, my studio is too hot to work in and will be for the rest of the week. My website is staying offline for orders for a bit longer because fixing the issues it was having before made some new issues. My week off was nice though.

Is 'blandification' a term yet? The way everything is starting to look the same thanks to the pressure to churn out more and more content even if you don't have anything to say or any new ideas, combined with everyone using the same easy digital tools. And the inflation of this with AI use.

Tomorrow I'll be at Stockport Zine Fair, come trade zines with me! (or buy them I guess)

Tomorrow!!! Saturday! See you there!

The Filton 4 destroyed weapons that were designed and intended for the purpose of killing Palestinian civilians. The state responded by labelling them terrorists and giving them harsher sentences than rapists, murderers and pedophiles. We must not allow this to go unchallenged.

it's the day before a zine fest so of course I currently want to throw my printer out of the window

The UK government is colluding with Israel to imprison its own citizens. Four young people could soon be sentenced as “terrorists” despite no such conviction. What is “terrorist connection” sentencing? It’s a scandal. Join us on June 12th to oppose this. wedonotcomply.org

Solidarity with everyone protesting around Woolwich Crown Court for the Filton 4 sentencing today. Fingers crossed for some good news for the activists today but my stress levels waiting for news fear otherwise.

zine club last night was a lot of fun 🌈✏️✂️ thanks to everyone who came down and helped make papery chaos

reminder this is tonight! There will be a selection of queer zines for Pride Month from @salfordzinelibrary.bsky.social collection available to browse #diyzines

I love that @lighthousebks.bsky.social pops their book talks on youtube, I'm currently listening to one from the lovely @robinince.bsky.social while I work late adding new stock www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xA8...

@thingsbydan.co.uk thrilled that the podcast is coming back x

Sorry to anyone I currently owe an email to, various things mean I'm currently behind on replies.

I've been having some trouble with my website for a week or so BUT it looks like it's fixed now, in case you'd like one of these or some lovely zines 💗 penfightdistro.com

Thrilled to announce that Manchester ZINE CLUB will be making it's long-overdue return next week on June 10th, this time to the beautiful new alt queer venue VADA VADA. In collab with Salford Zine Library @salfordzinelibrary.bsky.social #diyZines

Orders will be slightly delayed because my home studio is in the loft and it is currently like a sauna up there.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham
