anyone can make a zine, regardless of skill level or access to materials or design programs. all you need is paper, scissors and drawing utensils (although many people enjoy collaging!) web search "8 page 1 sheet zine how to".
everyone SHOULD make a zine too, you will feel so good about it ♡ it's about putting the power of production into the hands of the people! also you don't have to sell it or anything, you can just make one for yourself or trade/give some to friends!
i really love julia grofrer's guide to analogue self publishing aka making zines on 8.5x11 paper
and jaydragon/jdragsky's thread on staple's self serve print centres (if you're area does not have a local print shop, they probably have a staples or fedex print centre)
if you can't draw, here is twitter thread for public domain art and also a mini summary of when thing enter creative commons (generally 70 years after artist death in the US and CAD)
i also have a DIY zine page on my art blog that i am dedicated to updating as i find more resources! (not accessible through tumblr mobile app, mobile friendly, just open the link in a browser)
go make some zines!!!

Good news: went to San Francisco with friends. Got to go to Baby and AP. Had a ton of fun.
Bad news: dumped myself out of my wheelchair and into a San Francisco gutter in the middle of an intense storm RIGHT before going into Baby, was rushing to get to AP before they closed and forgot my side guards in my car, drove for a few hours to get home and the storm knocked out my power and water, and my JSK is a little, well
That's a seat belt print. This is what happens when you get in a car in a wet cotton burbery JSK for a few hours. The socks might be saveable but they have actual mud on the bottoms from loading and unloading my chair at one point. I usually wash this dress myself but it's definitely going to the dry cleaner's with a note that says, "I'm sorry (btw this is wheelchair dirt so i'm DOUBLE sorry)" on it.
I can't even start to clean it yet because my house still doesn't have water. And I can't take it to my dry cleaner's because the entire city they're in doesn't yet have power. So, unless any of y'all out there can confirm that leaving it in the backyard to get rained on will help it, this dirt's just going to sit there until an act of god is done happening.
I also can't start to clean it yet because my front yard looks like this, and while the Honda Fit is AMAZING for fitting my rigid wheelchair into the back without me needing to take off the wheels, it is actually notably bad at off-road traveling around fallen trees.

the triforce of Doing The Thing
triforce of courage: do it scared
triforce of wisdom: do it weird
triforce of power: do it alone
triforce of shadow (the empty middle part): do it badly

watching the lotr bonus documentary on youtube (why the fuck wasnt it on the 4k collection warner brothers, you hacks) and feeling a deep sadness and longing that that level of meticulous detail and craftsmanship and love just simply likely won't exist on that scale ever again.
you know, much like how the elves feel in lotr. the light has faded.
it especially kills me because i'm training to be a carpenter who can make quality furniture. and i live someplace with lots and lots of studios. making real-ass wood furniture specifically designed to be fancy setpieces would be incredible. but lol no the industry doesnt care about artisans anymore, get fucked
