Also wondering if there’s an interesting way to zinify my new blog chain format. Like collect the latest “blocks” into a single printable PDF or static site or something. My own tack on undergroundness is more epistemic than social

You get to do the words/pictures/layout too which may not be your strong suits. Tangible yeah. Ad free. Self-contained. And for sure just joyous nostalgia. Print is still a pretty amazing technology.

I’d settle for crappy and/or outsource

PDF zines are great. It's a great old/new hybrid that readers can determine their own engagement level. It's fun to print things out and give them to friends.

That’s my plan for Volume 1, Number 1, Jan-Feb 2019.

Fun story: I stocked our convergence center for the 2008 RNC protests with literally thousands of zines. When the swat team raided they stole them all as evidence. (And I promptly restocked with thousands more). But the kicker was what they paraded before the media as evidence.

I’m not a part of that community but have long been adjacent to it. I think there’s a profound appreciation of the physical and tangible. Similar to collecting vinyl or recording reel-to-reel. You can feel it, smell it, break it, etc. like humans evolved to do.

Zine publishers surely have more active control over the content experience in a bespoke manner.

you could argue it went back to the 1920s to the Vorticism movement. They published a zine called Blast. Full if random poems, manifesto's, italian futurism, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_(magazine) …
