GIVEAWAY

We are 25% into this poster and it's already looking pretty swanky.

"I'm too broke and sexy to donate for a berd"
There there, little peasant. I have great news!

Oh no! Good point! Maybe that part can be skipped. Or it could be sorta dramatized like the Lion King scene where Scar kills his brother...

Custom painting a bee on Converse! This pair is claimed, but I'll have more soon.

So you know how Lion King is loosely based on the plot of Hamlet? I'm proposing an animated feature loosely based on Les Misérables.

New product alert! I hand painted these Converse to look like Starry Night. Size women's 7.5 / men's 5.5. One of a kind, so get them before they're gone!

Did some more zine printing and distro today!

The zines are by @cbmilstein.bsky.social and @dorkydino.bsky.social. 🌈

Multiple copies of three zines laid out in rainbow colors on a beige couch. The zines are "don't just do nothing to counter fascism, "anarchist compass: 29 offerings for navigating chrisofascism," and "all we have is each other: mutual aid"

The same zines in a folder that is pink with cute illustrations of dogs

A little free library made of white wood with a corrugated metal roof. Inside it are a bunch of books and a few of the previously pictured zines. Behind it are grass and trees.

🧵 of radical zines about anti-fascist organizing and mutual aid that I gave out yesterday at my local #NoKings rally!

They're all free to download - you can print out copies and give them out at rallies, festivals, or other events, or put them in little free libraries.

If you see a police officer engaging in an unlawful activity, call them out, record, and share. Zine coming soon!

Circumvent the algorithm, print a zine!

There are 18+ printable zines in this feed, many of them easy one-pagers, plus folding instructions. Zines here were made by @dorkydino.bsky.social @igd.bsky.social @crimethinc.com @toonyballoony.bsky.social and @guante.info.

Just added two more zines, by @dorkydino.bsky.social and @igd.bsky.social, and put them all in a box!

Not sure how I'm going to fit in the candy, but I'll do my best, lol.

Zines printed on orange, yellow, green, and blue paper. The smaller zine is called "all we have is each other: mutual aid" and the larger one is "how to join the resistance: ideas for fighting the trump regime and becoming ungovernable"

A shoebox full of a variety of zines printed on colorful paper. There is a sign taped to the front of the box that says "FREE ZINES and candy!" in pink marker
