Lately I have been obsessed with zines. Zines, if you don’t know, are small hand-made magazines. Often political, they can also be informational, autobiographical, literary, or filled with visual art.
I want to make several zines if I can figure out how to get them out there where people can read. Zine subject ideas include:
-cephalopod intelligence
-autobiographical piece on how I came to submission and headcovering
-biographies and interviews with every color of the rainbow
-sharks
-photography zine
-collage zine
-poetry
-Canids. Dogs, foxes, wolves etc. I am crazy about all of them.
I’m a little unusual for a zine maker because I am so far right, and typically, zines are for very leftist people. You’ll find zines on why late-term abortion is great or why we need to move to communism etc. But the truth is that real counter culturalism these days is being a wife and a mother. Everybody’s telling you to be a boss babe and a card-carrying member of some communist or socialist party, sometimes disguised as some environmentalism push. Everyone is pushing a leftist social justice warrior narrative, and I’m over here saying things like “obey your husband” and “take responsibility for your own actions.”
I found a youtube channel I love with tons of information on zines. The creator is brattyxbre or something like that. Her videos are wonderful.
As I come up with more ideas, I’ll record them.
