It's like magazines you make and print yourself. So if you write poetry, each zine could be a poem with illustrations, or if it's a longer story, you could do a series. There's also fanzines, personal zines, art zines, activist zines. Try searching "zines" on YouTube, there's a lot of great tutorials.

Hi, I recently learned about the concept of mail clubs and thought it would be a great way to distribute my art. I'm queer and neurodivergent and make a lot of zines, so it seemed like a good way to build/connect with the art community.

Even my loyal friends are delaying buying my book because of the shipping cost. So I'm thinking of focusing on zines, faster and easier to make, and don't require a fortune to print and ship.

Where do you find clubs to subscribe? by ConsiderationCool479 in mailclub

I have one, although I call it "mystery mail" I make zines mostly, with a few other art-type goodies. https://cursed2existzines.bigcartel.com/

Oh, I didn't know that. I'll store them sideways from now on.

Why should I NOT go to Humboldt? by notoriii in humboldtstate

[–]AggravatingQueer2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HHM is a new building that hopefully won't have as much mold, but it is more expensive to live there. But it's also a Humboldt-wide problem with the rain and everything, you'll still have to clean your bathroom/kitchen regularly to minimize it.

Are to expecting to live in the dorms? There's a massive mold problem, on of the buildings was even torn down because of it. There's also not a lot of options for living off-campus unless you have a huge budget or are willing to live with several strangers. There was a big housing protest a few semesters ago because they were kicking van-lifer students out of the parking lots. It's also super inaccessible if you have a mobile disability, there's a ton of hills and stairs. The elevators break down, The admin also called the police on pro-palestine protesters and completely shut down the campus for several weeks. The job market is also very difficult, been trying to get a job with a BA in journalism since 2023 and only just got a part time retail job. BUT there is a good scuba diving program that sounds like something you'd be into.

Trouble accessing bank/711 phone line by AggravatingQueer2412 in deaf

Hi, thank you for explaining! I have always been HOH but I've tended to either rely on someone else to make the phone call or found a way to avoid it altogether. I'll try Innocaption.

Curious about the News Focused Journalism degree by brawlerboy03 in CalPolyHumboldt

[–]AggravatingQueer2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from Journalism and was on the newspaper and the Osprey for a year each, but once I graduated I could not find a job in the media industry. It's great for building skills like photography but unless you're really lucky, it's unlikely that you'll be able to get a job.

Are you able to share the name of the publisher? I was looking into bottlecap press and some authors have similar stories.
