TOMORROW Sunday Jan 4 from 1-4pm Anchorage Mutual Aid Network is having the first FREE STORE of the year! Bring what you don't need, take what you do! Wool Sock Drive! Bring new wool socks to help keep our unhoused neighbors warm. For more info: wearemana.org @anchoragemutualaid.bsky.social

In AZ to spend xmas w/ family & so far, I've just been going to bookstores. @wastedinkdistro.bsky.social & Palabras Bilingual Bookstore were incredible community hubs for info & connection that inspired some things for @redcurrentdistro.com. #zines #communitybookstore #zinedistro

Here's a sneak peak at some of the stickers that we're going to be carrying at pop-up markets next year. Over the next few months, we'll be busy working on more stickers, pins, patches, & tote bags as well as procuring some of the best books from leftist publishers. We'll keep you updated!

The “Free Des” GoFundMe is now up and running! Des is a tattoo artist, PoC immigrant, vegan, sweetheart of a person (& so much more) facing decades behind bars & deportation for the allegedly “transporting” a box of “antifa materials”—aka commonly available anarchist zines. DONATE!! 🖤🩷🐈‍⬛🦝🌿🦋🩷🖤

Went out to a weekly solidarity meeting to request some help assembling zines for @redcurrentdistro.com. The response was tremendous & I am so grateful for people in my community who show up to do whatever needs doing. Movement work is done in so many ways by so many hands. #alaskasky

“The boxed materials aren’t Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, or whatever MAGA officials claim ‘Antifa’ uses to wage its imaginary war on America. As prosecutors laid out in the July criminal complaint that led to the indictment, they were zines and pamphlets.”

We are hard at work printing zines as we walked away from the Anchorage Zine Fair with nearly empty boxes! As we explore ways to grow this distro, we want to thank our community for coming out to the zine fair & loving on the incredible zinesters there. Y'all are wonderful! #alaskasky #anczinefair

TODAY! Anchorage Zine Fair The Nave 3502 Spenard Rd Anchorage, AK Support Local Zines! #alaskasky

Spent the evening with some folks prepping zines for the ANC Zine Fair. We laughed so much & got so much done. If you're coming by on Saturday, make sure to stop at the ANC 4 Palestine table & get yourself a copy of JNU 4 Palestine's zine. It's gorgeous & will definitely sell out quick! #alaskasky

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

Anyway, keep making those zines. Keep subscribing to independent media. Keep supporting local news. Keep spreading access to independent sources and minority voices. It matters so much.

This Saturday we're joining dozens of zine makers at the Anchorage Zine Fair! Join us at The Nave from 12-6p for a self publishing smorgasbord! #alaskasky

The free store is now a regular event happening the first Sunday of each month! Today there was a great turnout & the question I heard over & over was "when is the next free store?" Mark your calendar for December 7th! @anchoragemutualaid.bsky.social #alaskasky

Tomorrow! We'll have a stack of our Anchorage Mutual Aid zines for folks who would like to give them to others. We're all we have, we're all we need.

I talked with @prisonculture.bsky.social and Red Schulte about the importance of zines under fascism, political education that builds power, finding collective courage, and the mistakes we’ll make along the way. Audio + transcript:

I'm going to be tabling zines tomorrow night at Bernie's. Come out for some incredible local music, good vibes, & pick up some leftist lit! #alaskasky #anchorage @redcurrentdistro.com

Inventory updated tonight found we carry 86 different titles with an ever growing queue of items to be printed. When we say we probably have a zine for every interest, it's not an exaggeration. Have a request? Let us know!

These are getting a print run asap, I'll have copies available 10/18. Just look for the Wagon'o'Zines. @redcurrentdistro.com #alaskasky

I just really love sharing my obsession with diy print media with folks. 💖 #alaskasky

We'll have a table at this event & a variety of new zines focused on housing, transportation, & community will be available. Come join the conversation & we'll build a better Anchorage together!

We loved discussing #zines as tools of resistance + community building with @wbez.org's Sasha Ann-Simons and Oscar Arriola of ZINEmercado! ✂️

We carry over 70 different titles and we are printing new stuff all the time. Look for the Wagon'o'Zines & pick up some quality leftist lit! #alaskasky #zines #zinedistro

RFK Jr is in town apparently for a press conference with Murkowski & Sullivan tomorrow. Unrelated but these tiny stickers (made by yours truly) are available for purchase at @thecommonscafe.bsky.social in Wasilla. Go swing by for a little yummy drink & a couple of unhinged stickers. #alaskasky

Offline accessibility of Zines ensures that information and ideas can reach a wider audience, including those who may not have reliable internet access or prefer to consume content in a physical format.

The untraceability of zines offers an added layer of security and protection for those creating and sharing potentially sensitive information. Bypassing control of governments, corporations, and powerful entities, zines can help foster grassroots movements with/o fear of censorship or interference.

Zines offer a unique set of advantages that make them a valuable tool for activists, advocates, and socially responsible individuals. From an environmental standpoint, zines are often printed on recycled paper or sustainable materials, making them more eco-friendly compared to digital media.

mini zine i made recently #zine #wip

We'll be out in the streets with free radical leftist lit on Saturday. Find us & grab a few zines! #alaskasky #ancleg

It's a gorgeous day to share some radical lit. 10th & I St. This is a little collection of zines from @cbmilstein.bsky.social. Come pick some up! #alaskasky

I'll be at this event from 2-6p with zines & I'll leave a selection of popular items at the MANA table when I dip out. Come get some of the new stuff I've printed - including an original zine fresh off the print tray. @redcurrentdistro.com

Do you know what my favorite thing about doing zine distro is? It's when a group of young punks spot me in the crowd with my wagon'o'zines, exclaim, "You have ZINES?!" & I get to tell them they're free & they can take anything they like. It's the best. @redcurrentdistro.com

Bringing the wagon'o'zines out for a few hours of 🏳️‍🌈 Underground Pride 🏳️‍🌈 I restocked some ✨fan favorites✨ and I've got a few new zines in there, too. (I'll have everything good & properly sorted in the wagon tomorrow) Come out to the Palmer Fairgrounds & share some queer joy with us! #alaskasky

We are planning on coming out to Palmer for Underground Pride, Saturday July 12. I don't think we will be table it but I will stock the wagon & bring all the radical, queer zines with us!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Honestly, today was incredible. We got to chat with so many people about this project & zines in Anchorage. People filled up bags with zines & brought friends over for them to get some, too. We ran out of several items very quickly & I love that so much! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

We're taking the wagon'o'zines out to 🏳️‍🌈 Anchorage Pride Fest 🏳️‍🌈 next Saturday! Catch us watching the parade on 9th Ave or walking around the festival afterward. I'll have a bunch of new zines on board so make sure to look for us out & about!
