Remember zines and zinesters that are no longer with us
Hello, zine friends! International Zine Month comes to an end, and what a month it has been.
We end July on a sombre note by remembering what has been and gone, and those zinemakers who have gone before us.
I’m still a bit of a baby in the zine world, so I don’t know any zinemakers who have passed. Not personally, anyway. However, I have come across many zine websites no longer operating, zine reviewers who no longer review, and zines that are only ‘out there’ in zine collections. They always make me wish I could have been doing this at a time when they were still going.
To all and everyone who have gone before, I raise my glass and tip my hat.
I also tip my hat to everyone who has joined me this month for International Zine Month. It’s been a wonderful, busy month, and I hope you all have enjoyed it.

there was a zinester i communicated with allllll the time and she just up and dissapeared. her name is tabi vass. i think she died! i don’t know for sure. but if anyone knows tabi vass and what became of her please contact me.
if she is gone . . . bless her . . . she was one of the finest people i ever had the fortune to know.
I’m sorry to hear she dropped out of comm. A quick search didn’t reveal much, but I will keep looking.
Tabi’s around!
We were friends in HS, though haven’t been in contact too much w her lately.
Her last post on fb was in 2020.
She’s a great person for sure! Definitely should reach out if y’all used to chat.
We’ll have to figure out how you can reach her, I don’t plan on doxxing her if she’s dipped from a scene.
