i am not immune to the lure of a Hot Deal but the fact is, i do not build a huge margin into the prices, and already sell things on sliding scale, so i can't really do sales. however zines remain available for purchase.

This latest case of government free speech infringement is particularly troubling as someone working with #zine collections & leftist activist media collections. Important read for #librarians & zinesters theintercept.com/2025/11/23/p...
The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an Anarchist Zine
Daniel Sanchez is facing federal charges for what free speech advocates say is a clear attack on the First Amendment.

Not to be a bummer, but we've only had one $20 sale in the last two weeks. 😬 We're gonna run a small sale next week and launch out gift guide with hopes that people come shopping for holiday gifts. If it flops, I'll ask for help with December rent 💜

I'm knee deep in finishing up my solo exhibition called Vibrant Fibers which celebrates quilts and zines and coincides with Wasted Inks's 10-year anniversary! It's been wonderful to see it all come together and I can't wait to display the artworks for others to see!

Was on a @zinelibraries.bsky.social Unconference panel about Accessibility and Zines this afternoon, which could honestly be a whole conference in itself! Good times.

A zine is not defined by its content but by its mode of production and distribution outside the normal channels of capitalist publishing. The photocopy *is* the zine.

Today, the WIZD team is in full motion distributing zines in three ways:
1. Tabling zines at the Portland Zine Symposium 🎉
2. Tabling zines at the Grand Ave Fest in Phx and hosting an 8hr zine make-and-take station
3. And we're open all day at our shop too!
I love days like this! Go team go!

It's not even a full week after PZF and I worked 60+ hours this week and I'm hosting events and family this weekend.
I'm here, but not HERE.
I'll be back to volunteering for WIZD in a few more days. Please approach with support and hold your asks for additional labor until next week. ✨🙌🏼💀
