Also planning AltFest for Oct 11. Battle of Bands, creative corner, Monster Parade!

The July issue was put together in 2 1/2 workdays & I'm a li'l embarrassed abt quality of content & layout.
But I really wanted to get that cover out there, & I think you'll understand if you read the July Happy Holidays that accompany it.

Why is Granny telling you about all of these odd June days, weeks, & month-long observances?
Because in 2025, it seems somewhat ironic that they're on crazy calendars.

Granny doesn't have time, money, or other resources to educate you about 'em all, but in the June issue of AnGrr!...

A2 is 16 full (32 readable) pages.

We already have about 8 full (16 readable) pages for A3 (Whee3!)
BUT due to lack of support & 0 funds (each full page cost us $1 to print. We give it to you free) we may shutter or transition to online only for $ & mental health reasons.

After wasting HOURS and 💵 I didn't really have on only a few zines (no mini issue 2, need lots of Punk - very popular!) thought I'd set up Paypal? Patreon? A way to get tips? Can't sustain.
My sekrit name addy won't let me sign up for shit. (Secure/spam.) Don't wanna use other email. AUGH!

Granny Anarchy @grannyanarchy.bsky.social · May 24

A lot of frustration today despite some success.
Tried to Be Ethical & copyshop print my perzines (so expensive!) Cheapest I could do was $0.50/page @ library. Each side = 1 page. Made mistakes, cost a lot in ACK BAD PRINT JOB & CRAP BAD PAGINATION.

Out 70.00. Not many zines for Fest in June.

Some of the other zines (and stickers) at Library Out Loud last nite 🎶📰✨🗣️🎧🌈🌟🎶

Assorted zines and stickers in an ARTFULLY ARRANGED scattering on a table. The zines are small folded titles such as "Make a Zine" though there is one special performance zine from No Moore. There is a sticker from Oklahoma Music Archive and there are some fun DVD movie spine labels such as "this movie is terrible" with a confounded raccoon on it.

Granny Anarchy @grannyanarchy.bsky.social · May 16

I am completely out of "Punk is Protest" & will have to (personally) print more. Very popular!

I also only (personally) printed 10 copies of AnGrr! so hellooo copy shop by my fave cafe.

And I noticed AFTER I shook hands w everybody that MY FLY WAS 1/2 DOWN. GRANNY IS ALWAYS SUAVE & ELEGANT! 👩🏼‍🎤🩲🎶

Just got home from Library Out Loud at @metrolibrary.bsky.social
Met some cool musicians & zinesters - passed out some copies of my work, incl V1I1 of AnGrr, my new perzine. Even met a fan! (Hi, C!)
Super enjoyed expanding my horizons. Would definitely do it again.

Sneak peek into my writing process!
I've been wrestling with an article for UMAmi for a while. Printed out a rough draft, messed with it a bit, finally submitted a cohesive piece today. It will be in the next ish (June 2025) & I think there will be more collaborative work to go with it!

Paper in front of a computer screen. Both read "Your Heart Is a Muscle: A History of Folk and Punk."
