The Collective Tarot
upthewitchypunx:
This deck is beautiful and so great for activist, people of color, queer folk, people of gender variances, and witchy punx! I was in a tarot group with some people who had this deck and I was very jealous that it was out of print, but now they are raising money to reprint it!

Right now our shop is bare and we are working the fill it up with fixtures,...

Portland Button Works (or the thing that has been...
Portland Button Works has been an idea kicking around for months. I walked by an empty store front last autumn and thought “It would be nice to have a shop. I could sell buttons. I could sell my custom buttons from an actual shop. I could let people make their own buttons and have the machines lined up on a bench. I could sell zines too!” The reality busted in “Shops have a lot of overhead. You...

I have a new zine! Brainscan #29/No More Coffee #4
Released just in time for the Chicago zine fest!
Brainscan #29 – Ben Spies (no more coffee zine) threw out the challenge of fiction to my land of perzines and this is the grim result. These three short stories are my stab at fiction wrapped in the usual high contrast cut and paste layout you would expect in and issue of Brainscan. One story is about leaving a hometown for greener pastures only...

I have seeds to share? Have you looked at my garden or garden photos and wanted some of my plants? I’d down to trade seeds (or maybe something else?) for my seeds. Be warned that I think my yard is a weird micro-climate due to our giant sheltering Himalayan Cedar. Here’s what I have:
Calendula-all the ones in my yard grow yellow.
Borage-These are blue and lighter blue to white depending on...

Hey tumblrfolks.
A friend and I wrote this article, and we need some critiques/edits/ideas/arguments against/reviews/etc… etc… about it. We figured since most of our friends who read it know where we’re coming from, and are perhaps, limited in that way in terms of their…
This read as all too familiar…
Late one night in 1989, a few weeks before I started jr. high, I stayed up late and watched a movie called Heathers. It was a revelation. I was a non-Mormon girl living in the suburbs of Utah and I had a “weird” name. This movie didn’t make me want to kill people and make it look like a suicide or blow up my school, but it taught me that I didn’t have to try to be like the popular people and that...
September 26-30 New York, NY
Monday Paul and I took a Megabus from Philly to NYC. I too a scary Chinatown bus from NYC to Boston before and this was not scary at all. It was really nice. We got into NYC early and tried to go to the Met to stash our packs and look at cook stuff but it was closed. Totally stupid to close a major museum on Mondays. We ended up sitting in the park and reading books...
October 5-6 Mechanicsburg, Pa—>Gettysburg, PA—>Washington, DC
Leaving Canastota was sad but we had adventures to get to! My friend Angel, who did my acorn and oak leaf tattoo, was working out of a shop in Mechanicsburg and I wanted a new tattoo! Paul and I got into Mechanicsburg early and walked around and found this silly sign that made me laugh.
In my mind there are rats and cats and...

At least once or twice a month I have a discussion with someone new to the zine community about why I chose not to support Microcosm Publishing. Here is Ciara’s blog post about the cancellation of the Microcosm-related “Bikes and Dinner” event in Lawrence, KS.
In a near perfect world people wouldnt be shitbags and be accountable for their shit behavior. The...
