I have a zine I published this year that focuses on US policing and tear gas: issuu.com/projectnia/d...

A [short] History of U.S. Police & Tear Gas

This is the 6th issue in Mariame Kaba's archival activations series. It was designed by Cindy Lau (October 2024).

If you're seeking permission or approval to launch, this is it! Go for it! Make it loud, weird, ugly, great, long, short, just try it and maybe succeed in your eyes or fail or try again! Hope this helps!

Above all, I hope we inspire people to autonomously launch they're own projects. No need to pitch things to us like we're gd shark tank, just do it, just launch it. We are never here to say yes or no, you are in charge of your own creations and destiny my friends. We simply distro it. :)

To celebrate my birthday, I spent the day printing ~200 copies of the 11 zines I've published since 2020. I'm tabling my own half table of zines at PZF which feels surreal cuz I'm always lovingly tabling wizd zines. We'll still have those too, but a friend kindly reminded me that I'm a zinester too!

Sometimes we take cute lil photos at the zine distro just to feel something

A green and orange light cast over a bookshelf filled with zines in cardboard holders. My hand is reaching out to pull one zine which has thin horizontal lines in the background, some barcodes, and some geometric shapes layered over each other. The title of the zine is My Burning Eyes.

The line between motivated and manic is thin cuz like, how am I supposed to work on this project when my hands won't stop shaking. Idk, this is the only way I can operate lately, oh well.

I have amassed enough WIZD/PZF and zine/small press t-shirts to wear 1 each day for over a month. Should I do a tour?

23 folks came out and made monster paper puppets courtesy of SATURNHEX and put their collaged fears into the anonymous fear box courtesy of Shut Eye Press to be turned into a zine! Thanks for joining us! 🎉

A new friend just dropped off five boxes of facemasks to wasted ink totalling over 11,000 facemasks. I cried

Most people are super kind to me, and then there's like 20 people who are real rude and nasty. This message is for them LOL

Also, I'm at that point of my year that if anyone is too pushy with me, tries to micromanage me, or makes huge unexpected demands, I will unleash a trauma dump.

Please approach gently and with care, ty!

They've been very busy lately

Wasted Ink Zine Distro @wastedinkdistro.bsky.social · 16d

Could not have pulled it all off without the team pulling it off by sending in the content, folding hundreds of zines with me, problem solving, running the shop, and organizing PZF. It's really cool to be in step together in different ways :)

Achieved all of this and then some: laid out and printed a third zine and also finished a quilt project too! 🎉
