I have not :x

Supposed to be redoing that, I've been making zines instead (physical blogs?)

View on HN

really? that's freakin' cool. what kind of topics??

I'm old, so I remember 'zines from the 80s and 90s :)

Mostly political oriented, one of my returns to humanity was getting involved in my local indivisible. I have one on May Day, lots of Get Out The Vote, "changing the constitution" (wip). I've been using the exercise to learn the history of things.

I'm currently (like right now) working on A Survey of Ai Regulation (and more), which is far too much to fit into the mini-zines I make, and will be used to force my hand into updating my site q:]

Very cool! Heck, need to force that hand just to help spread the word about the other zines! :)))

The zines we make are being distributed all over Washington State now. (we, because I formed a zine club with a few of the gals from the Indivisible book club) They are so much better from the group effort and diverse perspectives.

I do intend to get them up there, found a mini-zine format (single page, 8 pane) which saves paper and folds. Here's a link to the goods in the meantime

Oh snap, I remember that post!! (or I'm mistaking it with some other post that also linked to a Zine maker) -- do you happen to have Little Free Libraries in your neck of the woods? pretty good for distributing stuff like that

yeah, I leave my zines in the little library boxes around the neighborhood and mentioned Seattle Zine Fest (underwhelming since I've now been)
