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 🫡

Updated: my zine making resources padlet, lists of places to find free images, how-to guides, zine ideas, digital tools, bookbinding information, and fonts padlet.com/penfightdist...

Notes for Working Class Zine Makers (and why you should be one too) ✍️ If you've caught me at a zine fair lately you might have seen one of my new zines. Well now they're up on the online store - with cheaper copies available for working class people. #DIYzines penfightdistro.com/shop/notes-f...

Here's me chatting about how and why I started up a zine distro, some thoughts on zines potential as a tool for connection & what I've been working on lately.

Writing a zine related glossary or terms and FAQ - is there anything you think I should include? Any questions you have about zines you'd like answered? #diyzines

Simplified my postage prices + changed what services I offer so hopefully a lot of orders (especially heavier ones) should be cheaper now: penfightdistro.com (UK only, I've paused international shipping while I work out new prices + the US tariffs)

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life (zine edition): * taking a photo of your haul after the zine fest * someone trading zines with you * getting a spark of a new zine idea and excitedly starting to make notes for it * ~fancy binding~ * finding some excellent collaging material

I made these 💫 reward stickers 💫 for giving out to people when they trade zines with me at fairs! I don't experience zine trades anywhere near as much as I used to so I'll be doing some things to encourage it a bit more #DIYzines

back in stock - the updated version of Council: a zine about council housing. It costs a quid! penfightdistro.com/shop/council...

It’s my birthday! Buy some Pink Mince and help support independent queer publishing (and a middle-aged homo’s rigorous moisturizing regimen) #zines #queerzine #gayzine pinkmince.com

Since I didn’t add any analytics tracking on purpose for privacy reasons to zeenster.com I have no actual idea how many people are visiting it / using it. But based on the ingress logs I can tell probably around 500-1000 daily visits since I published which is pretty cool. Please share your zines!

Did you used to make LiveJournal icons? Do you still have some of the ones that you made? I'm looking to include more icons in the second print run of my LiveJournal Iconic zine and would love to see yours! Share them here: form.jotform.com/252444103676...

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

@pollyrowena.bsky.social on nature writing, chronic illness, and the controversy surrounding Raynor Winn’s memoir, The Salt Path.
