do not forget about reservations.

do not forget about the people on reservations.

when you are making and reading posts about dire predictions for quality of life, do not forget about reservations.

we already have issues accessing clean water. we already experience devastation from climate change. we are already going missing for our race. we are already being murdered for our culture.

it will only get worse.

it’s possible to live through. every single person indigenous to north america has a chance to live through this. i’m not trying to fear monger; i’m trying to remind you.

please do not forget about us when you assure people that “everything will be okay; people are living under far worse circumstances in other countries”.

people are living under far worse circumstances here. and it can get worse. and it will get worse. and we need you to remember that we’re here when it happens.

nothing funnier than a teen superhero walking away from the end of a battle in his sick new getup, absolutely devastated, and then getting in his subaru and driving home

The phenomenon of the ultra polished “zine” fucked with my perception of independent art in a bad way. My first show years ago I stressed myself sick about the quality of my work, then overpriced my stuff and was unable to connect with the other vendors.

Learning to let myself make low stakes, messy and cheaply made zines has genuinely helped pave a healthier and more joyful relationship to my work. At a show this year I had exclusively single sheet zines and had a blast sharing and trading, plus I made friends!

I really hope the word association with glossy publications dies soon and zines get weird and shitty again.

it's absolutely breaking my heart how many people in the notes of that post are relating similar experiences. people being rejected from submission based artbooks that market themselves as entry level amateur community projects. people going to their first cons and having their confidence shattered by professional level work labelled 'zines'. people getting screwed out of payment or not receiving books they paid for, and being shamed out of pursuing it because it's 'just a zine'. younger people who didn't even know zines were supposed to be handmade!

we have to rescue zines, we have to teach people the joy of making a little book of soup recipes from scrap paper and trading it for a little book of titty affirmations. a zine is an ikea instruction leaflet you coloured in. a zine is a manifesto about liberating e-bikes, illustrated with a roll of price stickers you found in a drawer. we cannot tolerate a minimum entry requirement.
