WHY WE MASK printed zines are here! Big thanks to everyone who read/downloaded/shared the digital zine, and to every contribution to the print fund. If you're interested in distributing free copies (especially if you're part of an active mask bloc or covid safe group), send me a direct message with a mailing address! I'm currently covering postage to the "US" and "Canada" (though donations are always welcome).

WWM is suitable for tweens and up, though it might piss off some administrators and/or parents by acknowledging COVID at all, and because it's got drawings of queer and/or trans people, anti-genocide protestors, and kufiyas. If you've stopped masking, this zine can give you the info and tools you need to start again. If you already mask, you may learn something new and feel less alone!

You can also read the whole thing on my website, and download the files and print copies yourself for free! They work best printed in b&w on a photocopier (download includes detailed directions for printing/assembling). Stay safe out there and happy comics-ing!

UPDATE 10/10/24: Okay, all 500 copies of the 1st run are spoken for now! You can still request but it'll be a bit before the next run. Thanks to everyone for contacting me & for the support! The first wave of packages are on the way & I'm currently packing up the rest. This has been a wild week!

WHY WE MASK: It's Not "Just A Cold": A Handy Scientific Guide to Surviving COVID-19 Together

Here, have a free science zine with a ridiculously long title! Endless thanks to my partner and fellow disabled artist, Kimball Anderson aka @earnestattempts, who helped through the entire year-long process with art edits and image descriptions (located in the alt text). Additional thanks to my friends Dupe and Caitlin, who gave me thorough copy-edits, and every friend who read drafts or listened to me rant about COVID-19.

Feel free to spread it far and wide! And hit me up if you're interested in printing &/or distributing free copies :D

Read WHY WE MASK with Endnotes - includes working URLS so you can read the scientific papers I cited for yourself. Plus links for all the other resources, and a full transcript.

Download WHY WE MASK - Free PDFs to read, print, and share! Any donations go towards print copies &/or local mask blocs.

Can't get enough free printable COVID zines? Check out @newlevant's excellent What's Up With COVID & How To Protect Yourself: 2024 Ed! It was a huge inspiration in the final stretch.

All the recent food recalls (and RFK Jr. potentially being in charge of the FDA 🙃) got me thinking about making a little food safety zine. I'm still working on a printable one-page zine, but I realized I could whip up a quick digital version! The complete 10-page zine is available for free on gumroad and has information about some of the most common foodborne illnesses and how to avoid them! Even if you have a good understanding of safe cooking practices, I bet you'll learn something new! (For example, I had never in my life considered the fact that I should wash melons before cutting them. So that was my fun fact of the day lol.)

Sent these out in the mail finally so I can post it here now: I made a little recipe zine about talking to my sister on the phone. Enjoy!!

Making and mailing minizines is one of my personal hobbies…things are pretty scary now and it’s one of my favorite ways to make friends and to keep in touch with others offline. 💖✨

i made a zine!!! it's about getting through dark, cold winters, especially with seasonal depression! i've only done a few mini 8-page ones before, so this was pretty big for me. :)

(note: the info and phone numbers are usamerican oriented)

you can download a printable pdf here! (to assemble, flip on long edge, trim edges & cut in half, fold, assemble by page number, and staple.)
