Thanks to everyone who worked on making pain salves today at the Anarchist Bookfair.

Shifting images instead of shifting the world
Little unsolicited tip from my zine-making: if you want to add an image in a word processor without moving the existing content, set the image options to Wrap > In Background.
This screenshot is LibreOffice Writer, which can also auto-paginate booklets for printing 😘
I was reminded by @mayintoronto’s hilarious video of the day
Made beans from my own bean zine. Always makes me feel self-actualized 😂
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.
Petition to refer to all PDFs as zines
(Prompted by this cool zine from the WHO about coping with stress)
Zine brain
Zine-making problems– determining which way to flip the paper to print on the other side when manually double-siding. I feel like if I can get this right my brain will never age.
Apologies to everyone, but the mnemonic for orienting the paper in my new (second-hand) laser printer is “feet first, face up… that’s the way we like to fuck?”
