Heyyyy Austin, I'll be at Lone Star Zine Fest this weekend!

If you're in Austin come out and say hi. It's free, family-friendly, they got zine-making workshops, the works.

the Lone Star Zine Fest poster, which reads
"The 2025 Lone Star Zine Fest
Oct. 11 & 12th at Blue Genie
6100 Airport Boulevard
Austin, TX

The art is an old-fashioned computer desk. The computer and monitor have post-its that read
"12-6 PM"
"Free!"
"All ages!"
"100+ vendors"
"Comics jam"
"door prizes"
"zine making"

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸
