Why can I write on Tumblr, but not on my blog? A question for the age we're living through. I've been there from the beginning; I was there before fandom, before the aesthetic blogs, before Homestuck; I was there when the only people posting on Tumblr were Marco Arment's techie friends and people who read Kottke. And there have been times when I've tried to make Tumblr my blog, but then I've come back here because we should "own our spaces."

We should, that's true. But I don't write here because I don't spend time here because I don't scroll here. There's no one here but me. So I'm trying Tumblr again, with my real name, not instead of this blog, but also. There are a lot of zines on Tumblr, too, and I need to get good at sharing the stuff I make.

(But that also means I have to make stuff—including my jam zine which is due tomorrow)

Some zine links!

• I made a poll on YouTube to pick the theme for Sunday Zine #11. It starts tomorrow (which means #10 ends tomorrow; we still have time!!) but the poll is tied. Maybe you can help a girl out?
• Send your zines to the Zine Pavilion for the America Library Association conference in Philadelphia in June.
• Surveillance Resistance Lab wants submissions for a zine about digital grief, those messy feelings about leaving online spaces or letting go of what you've built (wait a second—that's how this blog post started).
• May 30 is the deadline for this zine for people "who feel too much about books."
• Olympia Zine Fest is May 31. I tabled in 2019 and wish I could go back. Soon, soon.
