I own a lot of zines. Like, a lot of them. But I'm really bad at actually getting to reading them-- something about incredibly internalized productivity culture and not feeling like I'm really accomplished for finishing one the way I am when I finish a book. Hopefully, this can motivate me to both actually engage with the beautiful zines I own and share my thoughts on them with y'all!

You can click on any of these zines in order to read my review of them [or a little message about how a review will be there whenever I get to writing it]. I wish I could share the full zines with you, but most are both incredibly long and ones the author is actively selling, so I'll include a link to where you can buy the in my review if I can!

Side note that I also made this little digital zine collection that I won't be reviewing or anything, but still think is worth sharing! There are a lot of beautiful, important, & generally wonderful zines. Take a look at them here.

A one-page zine-thing that says 'THE ATOM-BOMB IS AN ETHICAL SOLUTION AND OTHER HILARIOUS JOKES TO TELL YOUR BUREAUCRATIC FRIENDS'.

There's not more to this zine!

There's not too much to review, obviously, but I love the piece.

A one-page zine-thing that says 'you lost my interest / i am not impressed / you wanted success / but your just gonna go / fuck yourself'.

Fairly sure this one's lyrics by a (local?) punk band. I'm intrigued and want to look more into the artists listed at the bottom.

The first page of an article sold at a show with Scuat Vol 6 zine.

This artist was selling this at a show in East LA recently, so I'm not going to be posting the rest of it, but it's sick as fuck. You can find their Instagram here.

I honestly just love hearing what people have to say about their local scenes. It's always so awesome & interesting, and this was definitely no exception. Super down to earth & cool magazine with a chill vibe & lots to learn from, regardless of whether or not you agree. Also very fun that it's written on a typewriter.

Another page of thoughts that read more like poetry sold at a show with Scuat Vol 6 zine.
