Our Zine and Sticker libraries are both live! We only have a handful of goodies in each one but we will be constantly updating both (we already have about twice as many again to share, and ask y'all to share more with us) and we will turn CAW essays and projects into zines!

New piece from @jrotszta.bsky.social about the demise of Broken Pencil in the latest issue of The Grind:

www.thegrindmag.ca/broken-penci...
Broken Pencil Is Done
The cherished Toronto-based zine mag is no more, after the staff and wider community butted heads with the publisher over his staunch support for Israel and its war on Gaza.

Someone posted a five rules for zine making, and that inspired me to make my own. What are yours?
#CutAndPaste #Anarchopunk #FuckCapitalism #TinyAnimalStickers #Mail
Notebook page with animal and star stickers, washi tape and postage themed graphics surrounding this handwritten text: S1723 Jenna' zine-making recs 1. Zine making is grounded in anarchopunk, DIY, mutual aid culture 2. Try not to emulate or get caught up in mainstream publishing standards 3. Zines are more like a diary entry than an Instagram post 4. Fuck capitalism 5. Be vulnerable and make a mess What are your five rules or recs?
