Communication is resistance. The more oppression, the lower-tech we go to spread the word. Rebuild pre-internet skills now, in case the social media oligarchs crack down openly in the future.
Zines are today’s pamphlets. Designed to print single-sided on any home printer, they’re focused, cohesive, and rely on person-to-person transmission. Help spread the word, or design your own zine. We show you how.
Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Create a ‘zine with a list of local businesses engaged in mutual aid, or spread the word about an action (Whistles?) or a resource like this web site. Write little encouraging notes and tuck them into packs of afternoon joy.
Afternoon tea is a luxury not everyone can afford right now. Spreading joy is resistance!
Tens of thousands of families are joining the food-insecure for the first time. If you’ve been poor, you know there are skills, and often shame, involved.
Offer to accompany a friend on their first food-bank visit, help them learn to cook with products they didn’t select, or show them other local resources for struggling families.
