Mariame Kaba on zines

Ahhhhhh this Mariame Kaba presentation on zines as community archives was thrilling. Loved the connections with early pamphlets and magazines made by Black people in the US, and her thoughts on the relevance of DIY publishing in, uh, high censorship environments.

That’s our Hitler

This morning I was moved to re-watch this 2017 Lindsay Ellis video about the history of successfully mocking Nazis. Still good.

CW for the video: lots of clips of dated, transgressive comedy with various slurs (n-word is bleeped, others are not). Clips are discussed from a critical/progressive perspective.
