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. ✨🙌🏼💀

The pre-fest gallery night for Phoenix Zine Fest was such a balm. My friends keep me alive with their art and their care. I love everyone so much.

A very involved zine vendor said their last restock package was RTS and I said well we moved almost 8 months ago, have you seen our new address? And they hadn't. :(
Soooo here's another announcement: WE'VE MOVED! WE HAVE A NEW DELIVERY ADDRESS! Please use it for mail!

I had an incredible time at Phoenix Zine Fest this weekend! It was a blast to vend yesterday and volunteer today. I've manage to add 40 new zines to my collection, most are trades, and can't wait to look through them this week. 🥰

Day 2 of zine fest is a wrap with over 400 attendees, all the vendors showed, and our chair and table rental showed up perfectly!
Huge shout outs to the community! Including organizing, volunteer, intern and community security teams, the vendors, our venue hosts, sponsors, and friends!
