Said like zeen, zines (short for magazine) are small, independently published books. They're made in small numbers and are created for self-expression, not for profit. Zines cover a wide variety of topics, everything from queer culture to Black Lives Matter to cats to anxiety to corn chowder. Zines offer views and ideas that are not typically seen in mainstream media, and they're a great way to learn from and experience voices you might not otherwise! They're also a great primary documents on local communities.
Zines are also a great way to express your own ideas! They're easy to make and easy to distribute. Zines have been used for activism for a long time.
