Zine Bakery Redistro

Hosting select zines & related resources for authors who don't self-host online

For select zines and related resources by other people, where the zine/resource has a strong social justice and/or tech+culture focus, I provide web hosting to help with redistribution. These tend to be tutorials or digital humanities zines, and usually not personal essay zines that don’t also fit those shapes.

Zines that are by me can be found on the homemade page, which also includes zines I’ve co-authored (“bakeshop” zines). On a separate page, I also provide information about the physical, public distro I run via the Scholars’ Lab sharing copies of a subset of my catalogued zines.

Disability Action Research Kollective (DARK) zines

I’m hosting backup digital copies of these excellent zines on disability justice, disability history, and disability media analysis by DARK’s request, for amplification and LOCKSS; they also host copies elsewhere. Visit DARK’s LinkTree page to read these zines for free, follow their work, see any new zines as they add them, and read more about their project and how to volunteer. I’ve also created a catalog-subset page that shows just the DARK zines in the ZB catalog with their metadata.

A digital image showing the DARK zine page's thumbnail images and intro text, arranged into a tighter grid to more easily see all the zines they offer. There are 14 zines and corresponding images and text, all covering disability justice and history and/or media. The images are usually composites of multiple black and white photographic portraits of disabled people discussed in the zines.
