I'm part of this really cool group of people making zines about the trans experience and as I talk more about it I realize that people don't know what zines are!!!
What is a Zine? A Zine is a mini magazine that you can make out of a single sheet of paper. They were popularized during the riotgrrrl era, but are still used today.
What do you put in a Zine? Absolutely anything! You can put art in them, poetry, writing, anything and everything! The sky is the limit with a zine! A lot of the time people put random bits of information such as how to fold your own zine, but there are no real rules!
How do I make one? I'm glad you asked! I spent 2 hours making this mediocre infographic

Hi, this might seem random, but I'm currently leading a digital zine collaboration project here on Spacehey! I found your blog through searching 'zine', trying to look for anyone who is actively interested in zines and maybe thought you would be up to have a look! Based on how you mentioned you're already into contributing to and making zines on important topics, maybe you'd like to join! This project I'm leading is called 'Did You Forget?', and it's about letting people know anything you don't want to be ignored or forgotten, so maybe that would be up your street. Here's the link to my blog post about it: https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1363193
Have a good week! Again, hope you don't mind a stranger commenting haha.
Hey thanks for commenting! This sounds like a really cool idea and I am definitely interested!
