International Zine Month Day 6: Zine Pride Day!

And we’re back for day six in this day of catching up!

Today’s prompt:

Zine Pride Day! Explore LGBTQIA zines! Buy, share, and read zines by people of marginalised sexual orientations and gender identities. Check out the Queer Zine Archive Project!

Happy Zine Pride Day! Belated, of course, but that’s no reason to not celebrate! There were so many glorious creators to choose from (I wish I could support everyone all the time!), but I decided to pick up a couple of things I have had my eye on created by Zappix Art.

Zappix are are very cool. Along with zines, they make super fun plushies, stickers, and all sorts of awesome things. Not to mention their store is where I got my lovely bright green gummy bear earrings! Definitely check them out.

The second part to today is visit the Queer Zine Archive Project! From their site:

“The Queer Zine Archive Project (QZAP) was first launched in November 2003 in an effort to preserve queer zines and make them available to other queers, researchers, historians, punks, and anyone else who has an interest DIY publishing and underground queer communities.”

Please keep in mind that QZAP is run partially on donations from visitors, so support them if you can. It’s super easy to donate and you feel great supporting a great project. ^_^
