red marker and black ink have always been in love
I spent the morning drawing on more envelopes!! A big thank you to everyone who has bought a zine from me lately; I really hope you like it!
You know when you first start a blog, all you really write about at first is the act of blogging itself? Sort of like writing about writing? Well, I kind of feel like that about my first few zines. But I think the more zines I make, the more I'm finding my groove and the deeper my writing seems to get.
There's something intimate about zines, that allows people to express things in a way that is public-but it's a restricted public, a secret public, a counterpublic.

- I didn't want a job by Amie McNee. This whole essay vlog is how I've felt my entire life. She refers a lot to the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber, which I now need to read. I've written a lot about my feelings surrounding work on this blog, and this just validates so much of my experience. I felt so alone in thinking this way.

Having a job is our culture's True North. In the middle ages it was religion, now it's "a job".
