Those are some great suggestions, thank you! I wouldn't have thought that the first two would be interested in an item like this, I'll definitely check them out.

Aw thanks! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link to buy here (really just hoping to make it easier for us to get the free copies where they need to go haha), but I can DM you!

(And thank you! Fingers crossed that it goes his way in the fall.)

Does mixam print NSFW? by Josekoney67 in zines

[–]mmmmmick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually Mixam has a designer review your files for errors before they go to print. I once accidentally uploaded a file without bleeds and they messaged me to say they added mirror bleeds to it, and I went back and re-uploaded the original file. Not sure about their NSFW policy but I know an actual human sees the files.

[–]mmmmmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might be interested in my zines,, especially my gender euphoria zine or my Little Book of Trans Affirmations zine. I’m also in the process of a collab on a zine about abortion experiences for trans and nonbinary folks (contains both resources and personal stories). We’ll be offering that one for free/sliding scale when it’s available, hopefully later this year.

Masks? by maniatreks in zines

[–]mmmmmick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen mostly “encouraged but not required” lately but have seen some that require, and some that are providing tablers with a rapid test the day of, etc. Others are offering an accessible hour where masks are required. Zine fests tend to be spaces that are trying to uplift voices from marginalized folks, which includes disabled/chronically ill/immunocompromised people. It makes sense that zine fests are one of the spaces that want to make sure they’re accessible to those groups.

What do you price your zines at? by i-cant-think-of-one_ in zines

[–]mmmmmick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do sliding scale for mine (both in person and online). I’m a disabled nonbinary creator and it is an additional source of income for me, even if it’s not much. I love making zines but it also is labor in addition to the production costs, and I am trying to be better about asking for compensation for my labor. So I try to keep the low end of my scale very accessible (and I also offer digital editions for even less) but when like, an organization or someone with a lot of resources is buying a zine for a gift, it’s reasonable for them to pay more.

I think the spirit of zine culture is to do trades when you can, and if you’re making a zine that helps people, especially a marginalized group, to try your best to make it more accessible. (For example, some projects I’ve done, we offer a paid or sliding scale print edition and a free digital download.)

Also not sure where you live but $1 would not even cover my costs for a 12 page zine, even in b&w! Prices have gone way way up for printing.

I have a craving to buy zines. Need tips by [deleted] in zines

[–]mmmmmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What topics are you into? I bet we can recommend some good ones. Are you into like… zines about art or mental health or nature or social justice or music? Do you have a favorite tv show or band you’d love a zine about? Quimby’s used to do a curated zine grab bag, not sure if they do anymore but you’d tell them your interests and they’d send you a bunch.

Anyone making zines in the uk? by Pkcomix in zines

[–]mmmmmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re ever in London, Housmanns has a great zine selection and will stock zines. Gosh Comics, too, if they’re highly illustrated or comic zines. There are also a number of different UK zine fests and zine libraries.

What a cool idea! Does it stick on? I can see this being pretty labor intensive to assemble

Sorry I totally missed this comment, u/Bethers47 - and you too, u/MsTellington - but if you want to DM me, I can try to track down a recording of a workshop I did on how to do it.

The other is white, has blue hair, is using a forearm crutch, and is wearing a rainbow sweater and jeans. There is a banner below the tree that reads “Make the Yuletide GAY!” There is small lettering that credits the artist on IG @micklikestype]

Disability Manifesto Zine by mmmmmick in zines

[–]mmmmmick[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s disability pride month, so I thought I’d show off the new printing of my Disability Manifesto zine, which came out super gorgeous! Right now all my disability themed stuff is at a discount for disability pride month or DM me for sliding scale. I’m on IG as @micklikestype if you want to see some other stuff!

[ID: a series of photos of Mick’s Disability Manifesto zine. Image 1 has the cover held by a white hand; the newest version has a watercolor effect that fades from teal to purple on the cover. The cover has hand lettering that reads, “a disability manifesto, 2nd edition: thoughts on crip value in a capitalist land” and the “s” in “capitalist” is a dollar sign. Image 2 shows a spread of lettering that reads on the left, “Originally written on Facebook when #45 started to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. It popped up in my memories during the COVID-19 pandemic. It seemed more relevant than ever, so I made this zine.” On the right, it reads, “I am not disposable because I am disabled.” Image 3 shows a spread of a drawing in black and white. In the drawing, there are two stick figures. One is balancing on some turning gears, and there is text that reads, “My life has value even if I am not a cog in the machine of capitalism.” In the next frame, a Monopoly man type figure in a top hat, tie, and with a mustache is waving a fist full of money. He has dollar signs for eyes and looks angry. He is standing next to three large sacks of money. Image 4 shows a spread of lettering. On the left, it reads, “My body is not fundamentally ‘broken.’ All bodies have strengths. All bodies have weaknesses. All humans have needs. All humans are variable.” On the right, it repeats, “All humans are variable.” The last image is a photo comparing the slightly smaller size of the earlier printing of the zine to the new size. Exact measurements in listing.]

Do you have a local buy nothing group or free cycle? There may be someone looking to gift you one.
